TRD Pro Grille for $140?

Paid ~$400 for my OEM Pro grill.

Over the years I've also bought some six or seven different body-plastics (from running boards to motorcycle fairings) in "OEM STYLE" from China knock-offs, all of which guaranteed perfect fitment.

What I'd like to see is the face of anyone that tries to install this garbage.

When it comes to body components, either buy real OEM, or just use a piece of cardboard and duct-tape.

 

AHHAHAHAHAHA youre so mad

 

lol

 

Sure was when I tried to install those running boards. Sure was when those fairings literally tore apart at 200kph on my bike. Sure was when I had to fight with the seller, PayPal and VISA to get my money back. But I learned from my experiences and life has been great ever since.

But quality and you'll only cry once.

 

Nope...those aren't for the grille. Just the top clips and screws there's none on the bottom aside from placement tabs.

 

ROFL. You made your account just to come in here and post this crap lol.

 

You work for CaliRaised, VanKulture or Toyota?

 

Yea people were mentioning it in their thread and the post were disappearing. Cali raised isn’t do right by people.

 

@fake808sports wanna help me install this when it gets here I had reconstructive shoulder surgery on Monday and well I only have one arm for the next 9 months

 

They can sell it for whatever price they want. If people don't want to buy it they will either lower the price or stop offering it.

 

message me when you get yours. the only thing is that i am out of state for most of december for work and the holidays. im going to order one from one of these ebay sellers, just not sure which one and because I am going to be gone for most of december i dont really care if mines comes in January.

Your experience with the seller you got yours from will help me quite a bit.

 

Ok,thanks

 

Surprised they haven't been sued for selling stuff as "their product" as if they made it

 

I'm not sure you could do that.

 

We have been waiting for you

 

You people need to show the new guy some sympathy since he paid $400 for authentic Toyota brand Chinese plastic. Can't wait for mine to get here. From the posted pictures they look pretty darn close to that $400 one. At $140 I don't care if if falls off in 2 years. Still a bargain. Personally I would never pay over $200 for the Toyota brand. They are all cheap injection mold plastic.

 

Shoots mine will be here by Wednesday. So I will let you know.

 

I think the Cali raised grill is the same China faux grill. They are re-sellers, and their markup is the delta. I don't know why people still go Caliraised route when you could buy the same product they are buying for you directly from the online Chinese vendor.

 

It is a free market society. Can't blame Cali for the markup if people are willing to pay it. Just wish the Chinese that made my Clazzio seat covers would start selling direct.

 

I’m surprised there haven’t been more comments on this thread by buyers of Toyota’s OEM grille condemning Chinese produced grilles sold on on eBay. I admit I’ve purchased aftermarket parts through eBay with good and bad results. It simply depends on the quality of the part itself, not where the part is produced. Thankfully, this thread has allowed Tacoma owners to vet the quality of the grille compared to the OEM version.
