Anyone tried this kind of grille mod on a 5th Gen RAV4 XLE?

I like the Toyota logo spelled out (I even DIY’d it for my 3rd gen), but please don’t add amber lights. They only made sense on Raptors because of their width, and seeing them on smaller vehicles like Tacomas—or worse, a RAV4—is just cringy.

Honestly, it just makes it look like a tow truck. Not my thing.

23

Looks dumb.

24

I haven’t, but I might want to.

Where can I buy something like this?

You’ll need to change the whole bumper. Check out this video: YouTube link.

That looks pretty slick with the tinted headlights and other updates.

If you’re going for a cleaner factory look, there’s an aftermarket option here that replaces the emblem entirely.

Does it improve MPG? :joy:

This just screams, ‘I wanted a Raptor.’

I’ve never owned a Ford. I’ve always been a Toyota fan (coming from a Corolla). I just like the look—what’s the big deal?

So it’s Toyota with a Toyota badge?

It just feels redundant to keep the Toyota badge while also adding the full Toyota name to the grille. Like, imagine a Ford truck with the emblem and ‘FORD’ below it. Doesn’t make sense.

Exactly. Or just TOYOTA without the emblem, like this: Example link.

You do know why it’s blurred out, right? :roll_eyes:
