TRD Pro Grille for $140?

I found one on ebay for 120 a while back (maybe 3 months) and it's perfect. It came with all the hardware for my 2016 and all the letters. I just had to stick them on myself.

 

I think you bought from the same seller I did, they just have two accounts. One on the east coast and one on the west.

I got a pro grill for 16-17 Tacomas, non-TSS. I bought it not realizing that it was for 16-17 lol I have an 18 with TSS
I’m located in SoCal, local pick up for $100.

Pm if interested

 

They come with all letters. They only show TOYO in the ad to avoid being shut down for copyright.

 

Got mine in today from the Cali location and installed, fit perfectly and looks great but the OEM garnish tabs don't line up with the grille holes. Trying to figure out how I'm going to make it work, might have to break off the tabs and glue or 3M double sided sticky tape it to the grille.

Here are some pictures, if anyone has any ideas I'm all ears. Until I figure out what to do, I put the cover back on to protect the sensor and I just won't be using the adaptive cruise control.

Edit: Part # for the OEM Garnish is

$365 53141-35060 Genuine OEM

53141-35060 in case anyone was interested

 

I just got one of these from Ebay for 90 dollars. I was a little worried about what I was going to get, but the quality was outstanding for the price.

I can't believe I almost bought an OEM TRD pro grille. I am going to mount it on tomorrow.

 

There are members here not using the garnish, just the piece that came with pro grille. Like how you have it. They just use a piece of black plastic to protect TSS sensor. Some are using a section of front plate holder, cutting it out from behind plate. Install it between sensor and supplied piece TSS works fine. There are post about it.

 

Will not be included. Chinese no way, dealer depends and you could always ask. Look at your itemized invoice. There should be two part numbers if from dealer.

 

Just bout a TRD PRO grill from motorgenic. It has the letters that need put on with adhesive- which worries me. Anyone stick letters on with epoxy and if so what seems to work the best..?

 

Definitely epoxy them, that double sided tape is worthless.

After installing with the tape I literally pulled a couple letters off by hand, so I knew it wouldn’t last. I bought some plastic epoxy at the hardware store and reattached all letters with it.

 

just bought one for my, yet to brought home, Tacoma from Newshopusa on Ebay.

Great price, order one myself too.

 

It doesn't list it as fitting the 2018. I don't know the differences other than the radar sensor for cruise control on the 18's. I am getting a 2016. Hopefully someone else will chime in for you.

 

Order one from a different vendor at the same price as you.

 

All 2016-2018 grills will fit the 2018. There should be photos showing the removal of garnish for the sensor. That photo should show whether the holes are correct for the sensing garnish.

I got my china grill from Amazon, showed all the photos I needed. Sensing garnish was from Ebay.

 

Has anyone thought about just using Saran Wrap to cover the sensor instead of using the oem glass piece

 

I'm not sure how that would hold up through slush, mud/dirt or small rocks in the road...

 

If you don’t pull the cover off that comes with the grill. The sensor is blocked off pretty well. The only thing really is of concern is rain, mud, or snow.

 

This is how mine sits right now. I really don’t like the way the glass looks, so I’m looking at alternatives to protect the sensor. I’m also in California and we have had very little rain.

 

Just installed my $88 grill today.... fits perfect... I'm also not going to use the glass cover (since I'm not a fan of how it looks)

I think I'm going to get a piece of thin black plastic or something to cover the sensor... or I may just go to Home Depot and browse until I come up with a decent idea as to how to waterproof the sensor

but for now, I love the way it looks!
