    Waiting patiently for a gen 2 version to materialize. Typically, I would move on from cheap chinese but for plastic I have no problem going down this path. No way am I going to pay $400+ for one of the many ebay OEM gen 2's listed.

    Now I feel guilty calling in sick yesterday. I coincidentally installed my grille letter decals and Pro tail lights. But I did go to the doctors office the same day.

    Now that's a man with steel balls. Doesn't buy it from the dealership, buys an aftermarket part and installs it in there parking lot while at work. :eek: Good for you! :D

    Can you provide a link to the grille from them? There are tons of sellers on there now and it is hard to find some of them. Thanks.

    Looks like your TOYOTA insert is painted white plastic. My 2 peices were both black plastic. Not that anyone would notice unless you look from the backside.
