TRD Front Bumper Kit License DELETE!

Hey Guys so I was wondering if anyone has deleted the License Plate Section on a TRD Front Bumper Kit? I was planning to do this b/c I think it looks awesome and aggressive. Just curious on your guys opinion on how it looks and also if someone has done this to give me any pointers on the cutting process and if theres any alteration while installing due to deleting the license part. Heres some pics to show you what I mean:

That isn't the TRD JDM Front Lip.

That's the TRD NUR Front Lip. It doesn't come with a plate holder

I'm not sure if there's a good way to get rid of the plate holder on the JDM front lip. Best of luck.

If you want the still look without all the work, look into the TRD USA Release Series Front Lip. It doesn't include the upper grille surround and license holder.

If you didn't already catch it: yes, there are 3 TRD lips. Technically 4 if you count the USA RS2.0 lip.

AHHHHHHHH I never new that! Awesome bro thank you for this! Probably would have gone terribly bad if I cut the license part of LOL. I do like the "Fangs" That come up on the grill so I think ima just get that TRD NUR Front Lip. Appreciate it man!

I ran across this thread when I was putting the TRD kit on my car about 5 years ago. Was thinking about doing the same thing but it looked like too much work and trouble. I ended up cutting a piece of aluminum to fit the size of the plate holder and painted it satin black to match the black on the TRD piece. Covers it up nicely.


Look through the posts in this thread for the modified TRD piece....

I just took an angle grinder to mine. But I'm pleased to know there is another option available.
