Product Description
Toyota Tundra 2007-2009 Upper Grille Insert Accent, 1-Piece Stainless (SG27145)
Owners of an early Tundra, model years 2007, 2008 or 2009, can put a polished line on the upper grille with SG27145. It's one piece of mirror-finish stainless steel, noted in the record as an "Upper Insert" accent, and it's listed for both 2-door and 4-door pickups of those years.
Check the year closely
This listing stops at 2009. QAA catalogs other Tundra grille accents for later trucks under different part numbers, and grille shapes aren't something to assume. Read the model year off your door-jamb label. If it's outside 2007-2009, phone Quality Automotive Trims at 877-752-3811 and we'll point you to the right listing.
The piece itself
A single strip of 304 stainless steel in 26-gauge, polished bright, made in the USA. It mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. There's no grille removal; it's laid over the existing surface. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing damage to the vehicle surface.
Size and shape
The data doesn't list dimensions. The photos show the outline and how it follows the upper insert. We're glad to answer sizing questions by phone.
Stand-alone listing
No sibling parts are linked in the record for this truck. That's a catalog fact, not a statement about what exists, so ask if you're hoping to match other trim.
Why a truck grille is tricky to clean
Pickup grilles are big, deep and full of edges that hold bug residue and wax. Give the front a proper wash with a soft brush, rinse until the water runs clear, and let it dry; a leaf blower or compressed air helps clear water from recesses. Then wipe the strip where the accent lands with a solvent cleaner that evaporates without residue, until a fresh area of cloth stays clean.
Line it up
Hold the accent against the upper insert, liner on. Compare with the photos and adjust until it follows the contour. Small tabs of painter's tape at both ends mark the spot. Walk to the front of the truck and look again; a long piece shows any tilt.
Stick it down
Lift the liner at one end, set that end on its mark, and work along the piece, pulling the liner away as you press. Then go over it end to end with firm thumb pressure. Mild temperatures, dry air and shade help the bond. The Installation tab has the full process.
On a truck this age
Plastic up front can be faded or chalky, so check it. Clean until it feels smooth and squeaky; if anything flakes when you wipe it, call us before installing.
Upkeep
Let the adhesive set for a few days before the first wash. After that, mild soap and a soft mitt keep it bright, and since the polish is in the solid steel, a little metal polish removes any haze. The grille itself is unchanged.

Installation tips: Front Grille Accent Trim
- Unpack the piece and hold it in position to confirm the fit before mounting it.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place directly over the existing surface, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Step back and check alignment before pressing along the full length of the piece.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
