2018 TRD PRO Grille w/ TSS-P Radar Info/DIY

very nice. I hope to do that to my Cement soon also. How did you get the original "garnish" off the $90 grill. Was it attached by push screws as well?

 

Mine wasn't .It was actually melted instead of being used by the star lock washers. Just used a box cutter and a flat head to get off the melted plastic.

 

Cool. On more quick question, did your 2018 TSS garnish come with the starlock fasteners or did you have buy those separate?

 

Separate

 

If someone needs a 35180 grill. This might work .Plaza Auto Mall in Brooklyn . I added one to my cart at the time I had another dealer working on it. They have sent me several emails wanting to know if I still need it. Anyway , it might work.

 

Thanks for the tip man. I just tried, grabbed a vin off autotrader. Placed the order, seemed to be going ok. But then they just cancelled order. Received a f/u email that said. “Unfortunately, this part is on national back order by our manufacturer and cannot be ordered at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.” I wonder if this is a blanket statement since maybe the vin wasn’t accepted. Anyway, bummer.

 

PRO grilles on ebay are down to $90...

Looks like it might have been the VIN I used. Anyone by chance have a VIN that has worked? PM me. Thanks.

 

Pm just now. Hope u got it . Have your local dealer try this or maybe see if the parts guy can be of some help

 

I may end up going this route since $90 is less expensive than the dealer's OEM invoice price and you can actually paint the letters nice and clean before install.

 

I ordered a 35180 from the local dealer (I have a TRD Pro so I gave them that VIN). But as a backup, I ordered one of these as well in case the dealer freaks out. It's easy enough to re-sell.

 

I guess I got lucky with the grabbing a VIN of the net and using it - was off a Pro at a another dealership. I ordered the grill, garnish and longer harness for $320 delivered. I also got an email from the parts guys saying that the order needed approval from Toyota to release - but surprisingly a day later got an email with tracking #

 

$90 shipped is crazy. The race to $0 is moving along quickly.

 

What's up with the missing "TOYOTA" lettering in that listing?

 

They come with the grille, they probably can't show it for legal reasons.

 

And the shipping was pretty quick too. It only took like 5-6 days.

 

Picker mine up for $90 the next day .warehouse is 10 mins from my house

 

This was my experience with them as well, they cancelled the next day with the same message.... I had luck with CheapestFactoryParts.com though.

 

Yes it is! This is awesome.
I'll be grabbing mine here in a couple weeks once I an move some other stuff, and install! Sweet!

 

I installed my OEM 2018 Pro Grille (80 not 70) today! I used the OEM Garnish and 2 Star/lock washers. Broke a couple tabs on the old grille when I was taking it off but otherwise the process went smoothly! The washers were tight to put on over the garnish so I used a pair of pliers to stick through them to widen them out a little more. I was kind of in a rush so I didn’t get to take pictures of the process but the OPs pics came in handy and were helpful!
