    Yeah, I don't understand the thinking that 2 piece = better quality. My one piece is solid black plastic and is excellent quality.

    This is to Calgary, Canada. No extra fees paid for duty or anything like that as is sometimes the case with products from USA.

    Received my grille today (12/7). Ordered from areyourshop-a on Nov. 24th. No indication of shipping progress other than "Processed Through Facility SINGAPORE EMS, SINGAPORE" back on Dec 4th.

    Two piece grille. No damage to the box and no broken tabs. Looks really good.

    Edit:
    Installed and looking good. Interesting that Toyota made the "chrome" grill two pieces.

    No the screws have nothing to do with the grille. The point of the screws is to keep the black shroud connected to the grille if that makes sense (the black part the grille popped into). The grille itself does pop in though as you already did. There’s like 2 on the bottom, 2 on each side, and 2 up top.

    Thankfully mine was great but I don't fault anyone for at least wanting to get something that's comparable to what others have received. I would have been pissed if mine was crappy and not similar to others. Anyone getting bad grilles should ask for a refund and failing that they should request a refund from eBay/Paypal.

    Singapore Post and USPS. May have actually been delivered by DHL, since their stickers are all over the box.

    Right, I don’t think there’ll be anyone looking that closely.


    Yes, USPS tracking updated from China to my doorstep.

    My package has been “inbound out of customs” in San Francisco for 2 days. Anyone else have something like this?

    Anyone reinstall the eight (8) small screws? I didn’t and now I’m wondering if I should have. None of the install videos I watched mentioned reinstalling the screws.

    C5C02DF9-A9F3-462E-A283-2C60278A9E1D.jpg I bought via EBay from Motorfansclub on November 17th early in the AM. No shipping info till November 22nd. No updates on eBay or any parcel tracking since then. Contacted Motorfansclub Sunday the 3rd and got the same canned response as everyone else, with a “I’ll refund $10”. Expedited my rear end. I am fresh out of patients. Going to file a request with eBay.

    Is yours molded from black plastic? It looks almost identical to mine including packaging but mine was gray plastic painted black.
