Heritage Grille Part Number: 53101-35170 and 53101-35160 (TRD Pro & Trailhunter Grill)

The letters only come in bronze (maybe silver too), but the good? news is the paint is worthless.

I got the matte black overlays and they look like ass with like a puffy shape, so I used alcohol to loosen the vhb to take them back off, and it dissolves the paint. It's just a thin single coat, no primer, no clear coat, nothing. Scratches if you look at it funny, mere denatured alcohol dissolves it. Like a worthless aliexpress toy instead of the exterior of a vehicle.

The bronze part is a seperate insert that is also only stuck on with vhb, So you could pry them out and clean the paint off easy and have plain black plastic, or paint the inserts some other black or color match the body etc.

(Here the T just happened to come off easy, but then the O stuck hard so I used alcohol and the scuffed part happened just from touching it, and I could see bronze dissolved in the alcohol run off, so the remaining paint is thinner and duller on the O. So the rest of the way I managed to get the hard way without using alcohol again.)

If you don't hate the way these black letters look, then the part number is above.

And these are just ordered for any of the toyotaparts websites listed in thr thread?

I used oempartsonline. The parts end up coming from a dealer but the site is like a front end for a bunch of different dealers. You just order parts and they come from whatever dealers have them. And 10% or more cheaper than the toyota site or any of my local dealers.

They aren't always the best for every single thing though. I got a few things from ebay instead. Some dealers list things there and some things can be a lot less. Once you know a part number you just check both.

I'll say one thing though, I said I didn't like the way the overlays look, but I just realized they have one big advantage. They don't have weak worthless paint. The main shell part is like silver polypropylene with black ink or paint that the alcohol didn't touch. The puffy part on the front is a resin dome sticker. The resin itself is black not a paint. Both of these will surely take a lot more weather and washing and highway blasting than that bronze paint.

It doesn’t matter if it’s gas or hybrid for any of these right? My gas limited could take the TRD Pro top grill?
