    Let's be real. We just payed nearly 40k for a mid sized truck and we all know how much stock items are. I for one payed $400 just for a snug fit made for my truck and I hated the stock chrome grille to death. I just hate chrome period.

    To each their own, nothing wrong with buying what you want, but the first part of your sentence is yours alone. I don't justify wasting (my opinion) money on items just because I paid $40k for a truck.

    Thats fine but if you ever wanted a different grille you will be paying $400 or more.

    For a genuine Toyota part from a dealer, yes.

    The BAM F one is the same or more and comes with surface rust where the bolts go. To each their own. From the options I found for grilles the Pro was the better way to go. For me that is.

    Theres tons of grill options including used grills on ebay as low as $150. Buy what you like, makes no difference to me.

    Its an OEM part. Not even a mass produced dealer accessory. Its going to be on the expensive side...

    Well ok, in terms of looks and quality I'm sure you could find cheap ass grilles.

    I think I will wait/hope for the pro grill to go on sale. If you are like me and take the truck on gravel roads, snow, salted highways, etc, those aftermarket steel grills will wear, and I don't want to even worry about maintaining that shit. Rust/chips will happen. I'm not one of those guys who washes his truck daily either...maybe 4-5 times and year lol (minus mud days!).

    Plastic grills have been on vehicles since I have been driving, over 35 years and I never heard of any real problems so the metal vs plastic argument is mute to me. I've already seen rust on more then one metal grill from different manufactures on this site. I do realize they make good products and each time the vender stepped forward and fix the problems in very timely manner so don't take my statement as trashing venders. For me, I always liked the FJ grill and I think mine is as close as I'm going to get.
