    Order from someone else. A few of us have only paid $108 for the one piece. I hope the quality is good.

    Lol. Same thing happened to me, took me 20min to realize that I had to move the chrome clips first, then take off the Chrome Bezel off before the plastic grill.

    I am thinking once the bulk of TW people buy their Faux pro grilles, more sellers getting on the bandwagon and sales start to slow down, the various sellers will try to under cut the other. I say a few months or so. The problem now is even from the same seller, buyers are receiving different quality grills, (painted black or solid, 1 or 2 piece) and most of them are rolling the dice on what they get. I tried asking the seller and they couldn’t give me a straight answer. I will hold off a little longer and see. Or I may get the bug and just order one sooner.....who knows.

    How the eff are people still paying $280 for this at other vendors?? It's even in the same shipping and packaging as the other vendor. It's just baffling me this evening.

    Must be a different batch of one-piece grilles from the vendor. Mine had plastic residue in the back but otherwise flawless and definitely black.

    It's the stock grill. I was getting frustrated taking the clips out and just ripped it off in a blind fury. Then the faux grill went on in like 45 seconds.IMG_1244.jpg

    For those purchasing this for 18' models with TSS, can you guys show how you guys mounted the sensors in this new grill? Any transparent covering used on the grill to protect sensors like OEM pro grill has? If so, what covering material did you use? Thanks.

    Got this response from them regarding my shotty painted gray grill with broken tab (I rejected their offer and clarified that they are not the same quality, nor am I ok with the grill being made from any other color plastic than black.)

    Hello Customer,
    Sorry to know that you are not satisfied with the grill. All the grills we provide are with the same color as the one you received. The quality of the grill with removable grill and unremovable grill is the same. The broken tab should be caused during shipping. We will improve the packing from today. Would you try to use zip ties to hold the grill in place or would you please use hot glue to hold the grill in place where the tabs had broken? How about we offter 15USD for each broken tab and you could keep the grill for use?

    Best Regards,
    Motorfansclub​

    Disagreed...it arrived broken and others have received much higher quality grills from the same seller. Not only that, but as soon as any road debris or big bugs hit the painted plastic, it will flake and chip. The ad (while likely not of the actual product) was shown as all black plastic. Their add needs to reflect what they are selling. And they should not randomly ship one or the other (one piece/two piece) interchangeably...they should specify or offer different auctions.
