    I will have my OEM Grill on tomorrow! Looking forward to it. I get excited after looking at all of your all’s grills.

    Is the OEM plastic as well? I have no clue. I just got a smoking deal on mine. That’s why I got it.

    Hey, do any of you guys/gals want a real "custom" grille, so that yer truck looks different than "all the rest"...??

    Everybody has, or are getting, those "Pro" grilles now and I'm thinking I'll offer to buy up all those used "cheese graters" and the "electric shavers" and offer them custom painted/derped or whatever.....

    So, I'll offer $25.00 CDN to anyone who ships me (pre-paid), their slightly used, in good condition grilles....

    I'll then "customize" them for the people who do not want to look like the truck parked next to you..!! (9 out of 10 Tacos in the US of A, and 1 in 6 in Canada, will have a Pro Grille by February)...!!

    Just think... you could have a nice grille like this.....

    Any "takers"...??

    Nice! For one of the guys who had some problems with the edge of his grille having a little piece out of it, I'm wondering if that sits far enough in the surround that you'd never see it anyway...

    I installed the it on my 18 and it fit perfect, but there are two small areas that do not protect the sensor, do you know if this needs to be protected?

    Modded it so much it turned into a 4Runner
    Came in today. Installed. Was finally able to get the dealership to return and refund me for the OEM pro grille that arrived with broken tabs. Also confirmed through my sister-in-law who works in the purchasing department at Toyota Corporate that the factory pro grilles are made in China. These are of no different quality than the OEM and in fact arrived in better protective packing than the OEM grille.

    It just says shipping info received. Basically says it hasn’t even moved from origin (China). I have a feeling it probably has (I bought last Wednesday). Just probably hasn’t updated

    How is it protected in the stock grille? Before/After pictures?

    Any dealer near you have a 2018 Pro in stock to look at?

    Great news! Returning the OEM grille with broken tabs must have felt really good.
