Just got my 1988 SR5 pickup back from the body shop. I was looking to replace the chrome grill and light "hoods" with some new black plastic instead. I can find the middle grill insert but most of the ones for the 4WD grills still have chrome light hoods. It looks like the 2WD ones came with the black light hoods but Im not sure if I can put a 4WD center piece with 2WD black light hoods. Any help would be appreciated!

 

I got mine off eBay.

 

Yeah thats where Ive been looking. I found THIS one but it still comes with the chrome doors for the headlights. Id like to see if I can get them unpainted. The 2WD ones seem to be black plastic unpainted but Im not sure if they will work with a 4WD grille and fender. See HERE. I do need the black side markers anyhow (lens cracked on passenger side) but Id like to avoid ordering two complete kits if possible.

 

I don't believe the 2wd will work. I think the mount holes are different - not that that's anything too difficult. You could always just get chrome and plastidip them black.

 

Yeah I could do that too just havent had much sucess painting chrome plastics before, I suppose if I scuff them well enough I would have a chance but dont want it to look too different from the center grille...be picky I know.

 

Yeah scuff it til it isn't smooth anymore and it'll be fine. Could do the same to the grille so it all matches. Keep checking though, I searched for a few weeks before I found mine
