Default Tundra Grille Upgrade

I have a 07 Tundra Dbl. Cab SR5 in Blue Streak Metallic and was thinking about making a change to the current chrome grille.

I was hoping to get some feedback and opinions.
Which of these do you think would look better:

A color matched grille assembly in blue streak color ( I don' have a picture of a blue truck with a blue grille and chrome front bumper but this red one should give you an idea).

Tired of people saying it looks like a dodge, so.......

Or this aftermarket grille insert:

Toyota Tundra E&G CLASSICS Fine Mesh Grille / grill


I can purchase the whole blue grille assembly for about $75.00 less the the Stainless grille insert. The E&G Grille kind of makes the Tundra look more like a semi, I think.

I just wish someone made chrome pieces to snap over the black grille bars like the '06 Tundra.

I think if you could have all blue (grill, bumpers, mirrors, etc...), It would look good. But if your going to have chrome someplace, then the more the better (just my opinion). I have the chrome wire mesh grill on my silver sky matalic and get a lot of compliments on it (it looks better in person). I have the silver rims, brushed stanless boards, and bed rails (stainless) that add a lot to the looks. I am thinking of getting the chrome door handles and watching for mirror covers and the black between the windows (DC) to come out in chrome. I'am surprised we haven't seen any bed rail pics. I got the putco boss locker (2 1/2") that look real nice. I'am going to put a spacer lift on next week and will try to post pics afterward. Sorry for the rant!

There are places on E-Bay that have chrome side window frame covers ( cover the black pieces in between the front and back side windows) that mount with 3m tape if that is what your looking for.

This only applies to the colors that are available in the sport package. I don't know the whole list, but I know that Salsa Red (3Q3) is not one of them.

check out my pic's. I bought my grill on ebay all 4 grills (bolt on) for about 125.00+
I painted the black upper grill myself and made the Billet T grill emblem myself also and bought the taillight covers on ebay painted to match my Blue Streak. You just have to look on ebay there are alot of grills and the $$$ are form high to low. Steve

Ordered my color matched grille from local Toyota dealer. Told them about the Sparks price after shipping and they matched after local taxes were added on. Got it in a week, no scratches or dents and in perfect shape. I like it, looks great. Just to pass it on.

Yeah, I bought the color matched from Sparks when they were doing it and I think I paid about 200.
