    I got scammed too receiving a lanyard and no grill by a different seller that actually had history of selling car parts. 3 of those sellers you listed are somewhat sketchy to begin with considering they have the words jewelry in the sellers name haha. I am going through the same situation, had to claim "item not as described" for a return but since the account is closed ill likely just get a refund.

    If you're going to get a new grill get an OEM grill. Yes, they cost more (stay away from the cheap @ss Chinese clones on ebay) but your
    truck looks sooo much better with actual Toyota OEM grill. The locking clips on the knock offs are made of garbage plastic and will eventually
    snap. There's a reason they're $120.00.

    A couple things
    Mine looks exactly like an OEM grille. Not sure how it would look soooooo much better than just like it. If the tabs break I'll buy a BAMF or something else...No way in hell I'm giving Toyota $400 for a plastic grille.

    I work with a guy that has the real grille...it looks exactly like the china one. Mine actually looks better now that I painted it. Here's what I learned from buying the knockoff Chinese Toyota TRD grille... you are gonna save acouple $100 ....but you are always taking a chance of getting something broken or not getting what you ordered at all. Its a gamble but if the worst that happens is you get afew broken tabs then that is an easy fix. Plastic is Plastic... it might not be made by TOYOTA but no one else would know by looking at it!

    Who cares, order one, if it arrives broken just return it. 120$ or 400$ I’ll take my chances. I got one for 150 ya it took a month lol but it looks awesome and you would have to really look hard to tell it’s not OEM. Hell I’d be willing to bet the OEM and knock offs are made in the same factories ahaha and if it breaks 2 years from now I’ll buy another 120$ one and still have saved 200$

    I should be getting my grille on Wednesday. I will take pics of it on my truck. I will then take pics of my friends OEM pro grille he bought from the dealer in his truck. Will post both side by side. I want to see if these anti-knock off guys can tell the difference.
