    Got mine today from Motorfansclub-it. Ordered 12/20 and came today....lot of holidays in there so can't complain about the shipping time. Well packaged and no broken tabs. It's the 2-piece grill with letters attached. I did not notice any plastic clingers or defects at all. Snapped right into place very snugly....perfect fit.

    Crazy eh! I think like 80% of this thread was/is in the same boat. Facebook brought my attention to this issue and following here confirmed my concern and why I took action before the delivery date. It was a seller from Malaysia who ended up renaming his account continued to scam per say and finally removed from eBay.

    I think that guy was the second rename of Baylie_0 or something like that,who I ordered from and is now removed. I hope I am wrong for your sake if you bought from him though. But if so you'll get your money back with ease. If parcel is ePacket start the process now to get refund.

    That was who I was going to try for round two of grille order but worked out a great deal with a fellow Canadian member on here before. Good luck but I think you will be finally getting what you have tried a few times to get.

    Got my areyourshop-a grille today, one broke tab as well and it was in the box so not gonna stress that. Seemed to take a little force to get on but it's pretty solid. So far it's great for the money but time will tell as the Florida sun can put a hurt on even high end plastics.

    Your tracking info is more promising than mine since it shows
    It was processed in NY 11/28 and arrived at distribution center in NJ 1/3

    Even though I ordered 3 days before you mine doesn't show where it is.

    Delivered by air transport
    but doesn't say where it's been delivered. I'm hoping at a facility here in the US.

    I think today was the last day of my Window of delivery. I guess I need to file a claim but since I see movement in the tracking I've been holding out hope it will be delivered?

    If you're worried about possible sun damage you can try something like Krylon UV-Resistant Clear Matte spray paint.
    Of course any other brand of similar paint should work as well.

    Installed mine last night. Took all of 20 minutes including heating the end of a flathead screwdriver with a torch to melt the nipples of the stick on letters flat with the grill to make it so they won’t fall off should the provided double sided tape fail.

    I love the fact that we are all receiving our refunds weeks prior but still getting all the wonderful trinkets. I just hope it is atleast causing some wasted time and a little shipping cost to the ass hat in Malaysia.

    The Malaysian scammer guy spent a bunch of money shipping the wrong stuff. Seems like a poor business model really. Dummy.

    Mandatory tint, in-channel visors, and 265/75R16 MT Toyos.
    So now the day after I install my eBay grille I go in for the complementary service and my friend who is the parts manager tells me he might be able to get a Toyota made PRO grille for just about the same price lol.

    Apparently another employee bought a Taco modded and then swapped for a Tundra and is taking the things off before the trade. Probably gonna have to pick it up if for 200.

    Also looking at real PRO grilles today for the first time, I realized the color on the one I got is a bit more gray than OEM not a bother though.

    All - I'm trying to follow everyone's posts, but it seems safe to order from Motorfansclub-it (two piece) or Areyoushop-a (stick ons).
    Thoughts on what one is better? Links are much appreciated.
    Thanks
