2003 tundra aftermarket grill?

exphotoguy · #1 (**permalink**) 12-09-2003, 03:39 PM

Has anyone had any luck finding a 2003 aftermarket grille or cover? Billet or mesh, I don't care. I don't like the looks of the painted limited grill I have now...

When shopping I didn't care for the painted Limited grill. I would like to have some of the options only offered on the Limited, but I really liked the chrome accents on the SR5 (grill, O/S mirrors).

I contacted the folks selling Billet Grilles on ebay for the '00-'02 models and they had the '03 model, and I installed that just fine.

I've Seen One That Did Away With The Emblems And Everything On An '03, I Don'y Know Who Makes It. It Was On A Brand New One In The Showroom At The Dealer, The Sticker Just Said "sport Grill" It Looked Nice! Like I Said I Don't Know About Price/brand Or Whatever, But It Was At Don Mcgill Toyota Of Katy, I'm Sure Their Parts Department Would Know How To Get You One, Just Tell Them It Was On A Black Tundra In The Showroom In About Mid November.:d

BTW, anyone out there with a phantom gray limited who wants to trade their body-color grille and bumper or mirrors for the "nice" chrome accent versions on an SR5, drop me an email or PM, I'd be happy to trade!

Here's a 2003 grille that the local dealers are putting on the "Texas Special Edition" tundra's. I think it's a San Antonio only thing.

SamnJaz - from the pic in your gallery it looks like you had to take the 'frame' of the grill out. Not sure if that's what I would want. I'd like the kind where I would keep the frame and cut out or cover the 'center' of the grill.

Anyone else seen anything like this for 2003?

Yep, it was tough taking a hack saw to a 35K truck. But, I was please with the installation and the looks. Someday I'd like to find a stock replacement.

I've got one of those on order from www.mrtoyotaparts.com
$270, painted to match. Right now, they have plenty of black, white, and red. Going to be a week or so before they ship out my Desert Sand.

That's a pretty comprehensice Texas upgrade. I'm not sure if I like that grille or not. I think it's funny that they credit you $25 for the steel wheels. That's about what they are worth.
