    Broken tab? I'd be requesting they send another one that isn't broken.

    First time poster here. Ordered my China special on the 17th. Finally received a tracking number yesterday, who knows when it'll show up with turkey day going on and everything. And my "expected delivery date" is between today and the 29th.

    Had a quick look at the new posts from people who've received theirs and am already seeing reported:

    - broken tabs
    - fitment gaps (what a surprise!)
    - excessive mold/plastic marks

    Not "the same thing," not by a long shot. If these items don't matter, then by all means, more power to you, but I couldn't live with that any more than I could with plasti-dip on a brand new truck (and luckily won't have to).

    1 dude had a broken tab which some of the OEM ones delivered to the dealerships had. We all know you’re just salty, it’s okay we have all made stupid choices in our lives.

    It's pretty clear that many of you haven't made enough of those choices to learn your lesson, but it's okay, you're progressing well :). Or you have incredibly low standards, which is also okay, cause fat chicks need love, too.

    What ever buddy you joined this site the other day, I’m not in the mood. I make great choices that’s why I’m fully retired at 31.

    After looking at the photos and reading the comments in quality, it is seems like the two piece grills are nicer. The one piece grill is the only configuration the has had any negative comments. I did notice that there is some sinkage some of the plastic on the one piece grill which I don’t see on the two piece grills.

    I was originally hoping to get a one piece but now I’m hoping to get an all black two piece (some two piece grilles seem to be coming with white plastic that is painted for the emblem or the TSS sensor insert). Mine should be here any day now.

    If this is the commentary we have to overcome after one post about a slight gap and excessive plastic, and another post about a broken tab, then so be it. Let’s keep it moving.

    Apparently @herecauseignorant has not read the many posts of Toyota brand Pro grilles with broken tabs. There were many complaints about tabs broken during shipping from Toyota. If I paid over $400 and had broken tabs I would post it for the world to see. It is not really the grille manufacturers fault that Toyota saved $1.12 per vehicle by eliminating screws. The poor design of a grille held by tabs is stupid, cheap and of poor design. From what I have seen on this thread the majority (that means most for he that does not understand) of these grilles look on par with the Toyota brand. I mean, GET REAL, who do you think manufactures the Toyota Pro grille. It sure as heck ain't Billy Bob in Arkansas. It is most likely a guy named Chin Zhu in a far eastern country.

    If it has a broken tab then it might just be an authentic Toyota grille.

    Mine arrived today (in SC). Purchased 11/14, shipped on 11/19. I received the 2 piece version. No broken tabs, everything looks and fits great.
