    Picked mine up from USPS....
    Ordered from motorsfan 11/21. Few days later asked to ship thru hong kong... delivery attempt 12/11.
    What i got: 2 piece grill. All black. Looks great. Box came in great shape. No broken tabs. Biggest flaw... little flashing

    If anyone wants to know what the letters look like on an OEM compared to the China ones I attempted to take a couple pics of my OEM grille.

    It's funny. I know they are out there but after running mine for 2 weeks I haven't seen another pro or aftermarket grille in my area. In fact I have not seen anything except stock grilles in the 2 years I have owned my 2016.

    Hey, just because it’s not mandatory for me to have 12 children here in NC, don’t bash us. It’s a great place. Mountains, Ocean and great year round weather. Non Brigham Young country. :p:p:D:rofl:

    I love the stretch of Itah merging Off I-80 to I-84 heading west. It’s gorgeous in the winter.

    I wholeheartedly agree! I'm actually from Mooresville and bought my truck at Hendrick in Concord. I'm just always amazed about the number of tacomas I see when I'm home vs the number I see in utah.

    I work in a place with 12,000 employees and have only seen five 2016+ Tacos at work. Have probably seen a dozen around town. But since I bought mine there are 3 more in my neighborhood.

    After seeing the pro letters... mine seem way dark. I could barely tell the paint line between the black plastic and the grey paint

    Can you send link for Amazon. I trust purchasing from amazon and also don’t wanna wait a month for eBay ones.

    Thanks. What do you mean? For example, mine hasn't updated since the same "Processed through Facility HONG KONG AIR MAIL CENTRE" status on Dec. 1.

    Ordered 11/17/17. "Shipped" 11/23. Contacted seller 12/05/17, normal canned response. Opened claim with eBay 12/08/17. Refunded in full 12/14/17. Not upset with seller (motors fan-it), just bummed. China buys are a crap shoot.
