    Ok Went to the dealer after work. They installed my OEM grille and the piece i posted in the pics earlier. Everything is working perfectly. I am not sure what they did and the tech left befire i could ask. I will find out tomorrow exactly what was involved They didnt charge me for anything. To thank him for his time I left him a $50 tip. They were awesome helping me figure this out.

    Drove home 35 miles and everything worked perfectly. I bought the oem grille, but i bet that it will work with the Chinese grille as well since it has the cut out

    What is the purpose of the shiny thingy in the front if is solid plastic? I thought is clear plastic like a lens for the camera and radar.
    Toyota could have made a plastic thing to match the grill without the mirror look.

    The smooth surface allows the millimeter radar to pass without interference. Would also allow snow from building up and easier to clean. All Toyota vehicles with radar cruise all have a smooth mirror finish in front of the radar.
