    I personally don't think it looks better. It bugs me how the lines of it don't match the angles on the surrounding bezel. There are just lines running over the place that aren't parallel to the surrounding edge and I find it really off putting. It definitely gives it an aftermarket look as opposed to something that is OE and matches the vehicle lines perfectly ... but hey, we each have our own tastes.

    I ordered my BAMF Grille back in the summer and I still haven't got it yet. But I knew there was a long lead time before i ordered it.... So I'm ok with that. And I didn't know there was a back order on the TRD pro grilles? I went to a local Toyota up here in NorCal and I ordered one for my friend and they told me it would be here Friday

    BAMF makes a lot of stuff, most of it looks good and appears to be very well made with the intended use in mind. i.e. their sliders look like they would be bomb-proof.

    However, that grille looks out of place. At first glance it is apparent that it is sheet metal, which is fine to be made from sheet metal, but it shouldn't look like it was home made by a HVAC technician.

    Whoever designed the PRO grille understands industrial design as well as aesthetics.
    Recessed is wrong it makes the jutting bumper more pronounced.

    Yes $400 is a lot for a piece of injected plastic. Why don't you make a couple hundred and sell them on TW Marketplace for $250 each?

    Toyota has around 200 on back order with around half of that coming into the national warehouse. There is no ETA as to our warehouse getting some in at this point in time. This was the information from earlier today.

    #6750 is 11 on our list at this time.

    Wait so you guys are saying that the TRD pro grilles are on back order? I live in CA and a good family friend of mine owns a Toyota dealership and I went in yesterday and ordered another TRD pro grille for my friend and they told me it would be here Friday...

    I agree recessed or flat grills make the front look weird since the bumper sticks out. I don't know why people were knocking the pro grill for not being recessed it's a perfect balance for the bumper. Maybe they haven't seen it in person. I'm glad I waited and didn't go with an aftermarket metal one. For anyone that wants a clean look the pro grill is the way to go

    How much light does that puppy throw in the night? I would assume a lot, but just wondering if it gets cutoff, due to the mounting location. I like the clean recessed mount though, nice job!

    None.
    Could you get me one and ship it to Colorado? I'd pay a little more for your efforts.

    None.
    Looks like you're also in Colorado and got yours at Mountain Sates. I ordered my truck from there and ended up waiting too long so found one on craigslist. Anyways, I love your grill and am planning on ordering one but was wondering how that light is turning out. Maybe we could meet up and off road or something. There are tons of trails around here...

    Are the TRD Pro grilles still hard to come by? I ordered 2 on accident and plan to put the extra on the for sale forum as soon as I get to the 50 post requirement...:p
