What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

Will have to wait and see how the inexpensive ones are in a year or 2. Black may fade or discolor quicker than OEM??

 

I'm gonna laugh when they are the exact same, one just has the "Toyota markup"

 

Thinking of buying that grill too on eBay. Did it take long to deliver to you?

 

They can rattle can them back to black. I like seeing all those grille changes. My truck will be unique with the black chrome TRD OR grille.

 

Ya I would pick them up as well but currently residing in GA so that would be a long drive! Lol

 

Any chance you noticed where the $400 Toyota grill was made?

If it was China, I would also be upset.

I was surprised the Toyota bed mat was US made, so wonder where the PRO grill is made.

 

This is exactly it. I bet they are made in the same place and someone realized they could make money

 

They are listed "made in china" in eBay. 170 vs 400, hopefully it's not one of those you get what you pay for kind of things.

 

That sucks, but since they are the same, I am getting one!

Lol and just kidding, I like my dreped SR5 grill just fine.

 

The pricing on a item is usually based on what buyers are willing to pay as opposed to the wholesale price for it. If you can achieve a greater margin, and there are no market pressures to reduce it you keep the price higher. There are always those that are willing to pay more for the genuine article, as opposed to a knock-off. With that being said, there is the rationale for places like Harbor Freight and Costco.

 

Nice. EOD

 

not much i can do about it now. life goes on lol

unless someone wants to buy an OEM TRD grill

 

I got mine on Amazon exactly 30 days ago so I’m sending it back today and getting the one from eBay after hearing and seeing that it’s basically the same grille, just $250 cheaper.

 

Has anyone tried this product yet? Curious, looks cool but no reviews on it.

 

Working on installing these. Taking my time, so it's a slow go...

 

Installed an Optima 34D Yellow Top battery (750 CCA).

Well, I do have those organized, but box end wrenches, well what a mess. Profanity rules in my garage.

 

Quality is awesome. Fit and finish are excellent. Took around 14 days. Free shipping. If anyone is concerned about Chinese manufacturing then you should first get rid of you Clazzios (mine were made in China) and then sell your Toyota. I guarantee that there are many parts on these trucks manufactured in various far eastern countries. Taiwan is a huge Toyota parts manufacturer. Who do you think makes our autoslackit transmissions.
Hint:

 

Booo. LEDS I bought for taillights on Amazon don’t seem to fit...

 

Just won't go in all the way or what? Looks like they should hit.

 

Installed my $140 Chinese grill, and dipped the stock sport wheels.
