Sounds like an R. Kelly song

 

He made no mention of urination. I don't get the correlation.

 

Pictures of it on the truck? I'm close to buying a faux grille but some I've seen the lettering is darker than OEM and I like to see some contrast. Sounds like this one doesn't require stickers or anything either?

 

Based on the seller name, and where it came into the US, I'm guessing it is just hung up in Customs. It should start moving again in a few days.

 

Job #1 after picking it up today. Bought it for $117 on Ebay 3 months ago, so had plenty of time to get it ready....not that it took much.

 

Looks great! I installed mine yesterday. I love it, but I had an awful time getting the assembly back on the truck. Everybody makes it look fairly easy, but for some reason, it took me about thirty minutes just to get it back on the truck. I didn't have any problem getting it off, or removing and installing the new grille. Did you have any problems with that? Love the AC!

 

No, getting it back on was pretty quick and painless. The worst part for me was getting all the clips out. I'd get 3 out and one would pop back in, lol. Overall it wasn't too bad though.

 

i just ordered from areyourshop on Amazon. grill was packaged great. no broken clips. i ordered on 4/19 and recieved the grill on 4/24. i dont know if im part of the lucky few that got a perfect condition fast shipped grill or maybe areyourshop got it everything figured out and this is now the standard for them. but would reccomend ordering from them, worst case scenario amazon would refund anyway. thanks to @turbosmitty for that advice.

 

have a link?

 

For those of you who are holding off because of quality...I have had an OEM Pro grille and a China Pro grille side by side and the difference is negligible. I kept the OEM grille because of the killer deal I got but there is NOTHING wrong with these Chinese equivalents. Hardly any difference.

 

For anyone wondering how well these Chinese grilles hold up... I received my grille from eBay seller motorfansclub on November 30th, almost 5 months ago and it has held up quite well for approximately 5K miles. Zero Complaints!

 

Anyone find options on garnish for the TSS sensor or is that only OEM?

i cant compare the oem to the knockoff, but my ocd thinks the gap from the grill to surround was too noticeable. especially in certain lights. i only took a pic of the bottom, but the gap was too noticeable to me on the top and bottom. sides were pretty flush. i put some foam stripping behind the grill to "hide" the gap. but overall i cant complain. i had gift card, so i only paid 60 bucks.

after


does/did anyone have the same issue with knockoff or oem grill?

 

If anybody is curious what their original price is and how much they are being marked up. If anyone is entrepreneurial enough to nab them in mass.

How did @rrentrop inlays fit man?

 

They are awesome! They fit like a charm.

 

Thanks for the research. I just bit the bullet on this Grill because of the price, location & quick shipping you described.

Without looking back through 207 pages, has anyone dipped/painted the silver letters black for an all black look?

 

Bought the Grill on Ebay for $120 Good deal that I couldn't pass up, Everything was going great but a little hick up delayed me a bit. the TSS sensor cut out has a raised part for the screws that left basically a fraction of an inch for the grill to sit right (All but two tabs seated into place). I'm thinking I bought the wrong year (18 instead of a 17) but it looks good and I just have to figure out which part to dremel next week now.

P.S If you were wondering this was the 2 piece grill where you screw in the Toyota part not the stick on letter one.
