    I was kinda hoping mine showed up with a broken clip, figured I’d get a second one or my money back if it did. Then sell the broken tab one afterwards.

    Grilles probably cost $10 to make in China.

    Just like Toyota OEM. Once the molds are made...grilles don't cost much more to make than a plastic bucket, and both probably cost less than a Nerf gun. Doesn't matter what country you make it in.

    The only *real* difference I have yet to see (I get mine later this week) is vacuum molding vs injection molding. Vacuum molded or thermoformed won't have the fit and finish, which you'll likely only notice around the mounting tabs, the front facia will still look fine. OEM is definitely injection molded. Is that worth another $350 or so? I'm gonna go with no. I'll save my "Murcan Pride" when it's not torching my wallet so bad for a non-functioning part. Mine is scheduled to arrive before Friday so...will report back with sexy pics.

    I agree; it’s been too long of a wait. I planned to demand a refund on 12/7, if it hadn’t arrived, but coincidentally that’s the same date it’s supposed to be delivered. Go figure! Hopefully, it arrives without blemishes or broken tabs.

    I think two weeks is more realistic.

    The shipping problem is that these Chinese sellers took on more than they could manage.

    I'm just waiting for the bubble to pop and then swoop in on one. I don't even really like the pro grille, but it's getting very close to "what the hell, why not" money for me.

    I think the grilles are all set to evaporate on the same day in 2018. Then all will be driving around without grilles and have to buy more from another country.
