Suggestions to 'touch-up' the 2014 frontface of the SR5/Trail 4runner

pacho · Dec 16, 2013

some suggestions - see photoshopped photos below:
*chrome strip
* chrome grille
*Leave as it is/Leave it alone
*wider/aggressive tires
*Lift it
*add toyota emblem to grille, example below(advantage of this suggestion is very little or no modifications needed -just screw on the Toyota emblem) apologies to the owners of this 4runner photos now modified with emblem. silver 4runner from New Car Reviews, Ratings & Pricing, Auto News for New Models ....red 4runner from New & Used Trucks, SUVs Reviews at the Pickup & SUV Authority - Truck Trend Magazine
*Add cattle horns to the grille

- Remove big grey plastic trim, sandblast, prime, and paint flat black. Reinstall.

Leave it alone. That "TOYOTA" badge makes it waaaay too busy, IMO. I'd go with a 30" light bar instead or a chrome strip if you want a little bling. Id do black plastidip for the silver "lip" then plastidip the fender flares and rear trim piece to tie it all together. Plus, it's totally reversible if you don't like it.

Put an aftermarket bumper ala Shrockworks, DO, or the like with a winch.

Is it possible to do some type of Santoshi grill? They make the original design 5thGen look fantastic.

Leave it as it is. It looks awesome. IMO, when people modify their vehicles like this, it seldom ever looks good. It just gives a cheap "look at me, I want to be different for the sake of being different" appearance.

When I get my 2014 trail early next year, I will be lifting it and getting better tires, but that's more out of function.

Toyota finally got rid of all of that ugly chrome on the SR5, don't put any more back on.

jmitch7715 · Dec 16, 2013

I'd leave it alone. If you had to do something plastidip silver piece on the Trail. I plan on changing out tires and maybe leveling the front end of my trail when it gets here in couple weeks but that's it.

Lift it and put a set of badass wheels on it. The awesomeness of the wheels.tires and lift will take away from the oddity of the front (which is starting to grow on me)

There's only way to fix the front of the '14 SR5: Cover it with a blanket.
Or buy it in white.

Maybe this is the Toyota emblem look you're after:

I was thinking of putting the 30" Rigid Ind. behind there but the actual bumper is a lot lower. Haven't taken everything a part to actually look down there yet and see what is needed.

You mean like below???? this is photoshopped only like the above photos.

Has anyone looked into what they have done with the TRD Pro front end?

[IMHO] Not nearly as slick looking as the 2013 and older :\

Methinks their design team hit the same wall we are
