    It takes a week to arrive give or take a day or two more or less. They do signature required so you’ll have to be home for it. Overall was a great purchase. I painted my letters red. So as soon as they dry I’ll install it and see how it looks.

    I hope you put something in front of the sensor to protect it. If a rock damages the radar sensor you'll have to take out a loan to pay for a new one.

    Haven’t put it on the truck yet because it’s been in single digits. But here it is painted. The Y and O look different in the picture but that’s just because the light source is directly above them.

    That’s a good point. I did not. . I will say, the sensor trips pretty frequently post-swap, the error message tells me to clean the sensor. Open to ideas.

    Sweet. That's the same thing I wanna do. I already got the red letter. Just need to get the grill. Is the general consensus to go with areyouashop-a?

    I had good luck with them. And it didn’t take more than a week. Unlike pepppe who ordered from other sellers waited a month and got a lanyard instead of a grille.

    UPDATE: If you have ordered from eBay seller yan-linm and have not received your grille - you may not. My grille is far past the guaranteed delivery date. I tried to email the seller and eBay and received the message that the item has been removed or is no longer available. I tried to email the seller and eBay blocked my attempts to do so. I called eBay and apparently this seller has been flagged as having been involved in “fraudulent” activity. I am now 2/2 with getting scammed on eBay so screw this - I’m done. I am now going through the claims process and will hopefully have a refund soon. My next purchase will be an OEM grille from Toyota. Best of luck to all.

    Yeah, this sucks big time. I’ve never had an issue on Amazon but eBay scams seem to find me every time....

    Should have ordered from Areyoushop. Vast number of people in this thread have ordered from then and the worst outcome I’ve seen has been broken tab or two

    yan-linm was getting a bunch of positive remarks on here right up until about a week ago when I ordered mine from them. Supposedly they shipped it the same night, and it has cleared Chinese customs. Just waiting to see what happens next.

    My order hung up at Chinese customs for like 6 days and then randomly arrived in the states and then was out for delivery the next day.

    I understand your frustration but before you go down the over-priced OEM road why not give Areyoushop a shot.
    Folks have been quite successful using them and they are on both eBay and Amazon.
    This is just a suggestion. You, of course, can do whatever you feel you need to do.

    Ok. After I sent my last message Tacoma World refreshed and I now see other have offered the same "advice".
    Sorry for piling on. :)
