    You sure about that when Toyota takes him to court for copyright laws?

    If that's the case then what about all the guys making all these decals etc. If it was an issue I am sure guys
    like JLee would have contacted Toyota to avoid issues like that. :notsure:

    Big diff between a 50 cent decal and a $500.00 grill. Just saying. So what you are saying that when Tacomas start showing up for oil changes with a BAMF grill that says "Toyota" they will go unnoticed? Your right, maybe JLee called Toyota and they gave him the ok to profit off of their name. I wonder how many he would sell that didnt say "Toyota"

    Lol, unnoticed. Far from it. You don't buy the BAMF grille to NOT be noticed. I don't
    know JLee but from being on the forums and seeing his posts etc I am sure he is
    a very smart businessman or he wouldn't be where he is today.

    As far as not having Toyota on them I do not think any of us would mind. Would come up with the
    letters or whatever ourselves and install them on the grille. JLee would just offer to make letters and we would order
    what we want to install on the grille. :cheers:

    You're right.. If I were you, I'd hold off on purchasing this grill to avoid any legal issues in the future. Keep the stock grill and you will be fine.:thumbsup:

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    All the appropriate paperwork has been filed with Toyotas legal department no one's braking the law.

    That's what I'm talking about!!! Jerry got all his ducks in a row and put out an awesome product that I personally like better than the pro grill. Everyone has their personal preference so no need to knock on someone's preference.

    Really, you are gonna resort to name calling, lol.
    Ok, for those that have a hard time understanding what I was refering to...... BAMF GRILLE > TRD PRO GRILLE
    is that a little more comprehensible for you? :boink:

    I agree. IMO the pro grill is a huge let down, along with the overly glossy wheels.

    I posted a message #960 on this thread. I also told Jerry to hurry and put one up himself to get even more business. Very easy to do. Good luck
