    You definitely have me concerned. I might end up with a winter grill next year.

    If it's any consolation I was one of the first to order and did run it for quite awhile before this happened.

    Did you talk him down any for the scratch marks on it? Though you won't use the chrome piece with your grill on your truck now. But still I would of dickered with him a little on the price, maybe got him to pay the shipping.

    Na - just bought it as-is. Couldn't really find any appreciable scratch marks in the picture. The chrome piece just looks be reflecting the trees in the background.

    Yep - don't think there is any way they would (or should) warranty that.

    Yep - the pro grille looks great. Those things are pretty darn expensive though! Toyota sure is proud of their plastic.
