    Been thinking long and hard on this grille, and can't seem to find any photos of ones installed besides the one on the site?? Does anyone have these on their taco? if so, can you post pics?

    Please and thanks!

    I love my T-rex grill :) Great customer service because: I twisted a bolt off the round logo mounting plate (my fault I tightened too hard). They sent me out a new mounting plate at no charge!

    I've seen other folks on TW with T-rex grill pics too....you'll have to look through the hundreds and hundreds of pages of the thread "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR 3RD GEN TODAY" to find them though.

    T-Rex grilles are legit. Do their grilles replace the grille and the bezel? Or is it just an insert?

    just the insert , you will use your bezel and chrome Toyota emblem to mount on the oval mounting plate. note: the insert is thick heavy duty aluminum black powder coat.

    You can keep your bezel and this is just a heavy metal insert. Seriously this thing feels like it weighs five pounds at least.

    :edit: ^^wizard^^

    note: I paid $296 on Amazon...way cheaper than the website list price. And that included free shipping:)

    Does T-Rex make a grille that bolts right on and also replaces the bezel?

    I have a limited release Trex grille with the LED on the bottom. Standard one is at the top.

    A lot of stuff is cheaper to buy on Amazon instead of the website of the company that makes the products. Strange but true.

    true, and the guy from T-rex on the phone recommended buying from other Vendors for that reason....he say's they really support the companies that buy bulk from them...thus, the cheaper price for the customer :)

    I don't know if they have something like the for the 3rd gen yet, but I went with these T-Rex inserts instead of the whole grille on my 2012. Yeah I know it's a 3rd gen thread but I thought I would share. :rolleyes:


    They look good at night too! :D

    they might still have some. I think they made 10 total of this style.

    I can give you the email to someone there if you want to see if they have them still.
