    If you don't need a 2018 grille, buy the a 2016-2017. No garnish will be needed. That area of the grille on those models do not have the recessed area requiring the garnish on the 2018's.

    EA091A78-B99F-4FDD-9A92-91AEDC0D4412.jpg Here is the 2018 grille. The 2016-2017 does not have the open recessed area below the TOYOTA

    I'm sure that someone on here with a 3d printer could make something awesome to fill that area for pre-2018 models.

    To clarify, 2016-2017 owners SHOULD order the garnish piece for the 2018 PRO style grill, otherwise they'll have to live with the gaping hole in the middle.

    I have not ordered a pre-2018 grille, to the best of my knowledge the 2016-2017 does not require that piece because it has a honeycomb filler that is made into the grille. The garnish should not be required. I will try and find you a pic of a 2017 Pro Grill. 4F0763A9-2675-47D4-A45F-65B4743F8FD1.jpgThis is the part number for the 2018

    This is the 2016-2017 grille. As you can see there is no need for the garnish. It’s part of the grill

    WOW!! ARE THE 2016-2017 really that expensive ?!?!?! I wonder what the hell is going through Toyota's mind ?!?! Hell, if I didn't have an 18, I would buy one too. They are virtually the same piece of plastic. Well if you have owned a Toyota or tried to modify one before we all know Toyota never makes it easy.

    I would echo Marvin. For way less money. Go that route.

    Correct, The 2018 grille needs the garnish piece the 2017 does not. The 2018 will fit on the 2017, but the 2017 will not fit on the 2018 because of the sensor.
    The garnishes are on back order with Toyota.

    Anybody have a picture of the garnish? Does it look good and easy to install? Thinking of ordering both 2018 pieces for my 2017 Tacoma.
