    Mine is not broken.
    I didn't put it up for sale yet
    I am not selling it to a canadian anyways

    So don't quote me, or my broken grilles, because I don't have any of those.

    Local to some, not to me...and as a Canadian...that grill would cost me $800+CAD. The attitude on that Bamf forum is basically" take it or leave it...I'm selling too much anyways". And the 6+ month wait...f&^k that!

    Hmm... I actually like both grilles! I was one of the original people to get a TRD pro grille when they first started being released to the public.. I love the TRD pro grille but I also love the BAMF recessed grille as well! I just don't like that 4-5 month lead time it takes to get one made lol I also don't really care for the BAMF Eco grille. With the whole grille being flat it gives no dimensions to the front grille and makes it look to big.. But with that being said a BAMF grille would have been my first choice and a TRD pro grille second... But since my friend had my TRD pro grille in stock for me I went with that option.

    My vote is the BAMF recessed grill. The TRD Pro one looks good no doubt, but personally I think the BAMF recessed grill looks better on the BBP.

    It seems like more people for the Pro grill over the BAMF. That's the way I've been leaning too.

    How about the Pro grill vs. the DBCustomz?

    Neither, Custom car grills options for lettering are vast. Its metal, easy to clean. Something the pro is neither. IMO20161203_180347.jpg

    I cancelled the BAMF for my OR after two months on order. After reading the 3rd gen grille forums whilst waiting and looking at all the pics, I finally decided the BAMF just looked too home-made for my taste. I have to agree that the pro looks like it was professionally designed for the truck. I went down to the dealership and picked up a Pro.

    In the end, either the BAMF or PRO is a huge improvement on the stock offering. BTW, when I originally bought the '16 OR, I almost went with the SR5 just because of the grille. I have to wonder how long Toyota will continue to ship the Sport and OR with teenager braces.

    BAMF Grille :
    Screw heads showing
    It looks like and Hvac guy built the thing
    Too industrial looking , it would look good on a Mad Max movie though
    Eventually will rust
    Bad design overall, u can tell that those guys r not designers or engineers
    My opinion ^^ :boink:

    I don't have a problem with it. I don't do it, but I don't see an issue. It's a truck, not a service medal for fucks sake.

    I bought one of the blemished ones, just took some grinding, everything was fine. Looks better than the sr grill, way better than the pro.

    IMG_2352.jpg Heres my BAMF for a reference. I dont think u can go wrong either way..depends on the over all look you are going for. Clean and neat i say stick with factory pro grill. Rugged look i think bamf fits that style a bit better. Its all personal preference really.. for my build i think bamf will fit well with it in the long run :stirthepot:
