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

Just an FYI update on my order from TPD, all shipped out on Friday with our issue or delay, or cost increase on the shipping. Pretty excited. Now I just have to wait for it all to show up!

 

My local Dealer said Toyota would be selling the OEM TRD PRO GRILL to non TRD PRO owners, has anybody here been able to purchase one from their dealers for an 2018 TRD SPORT ? TIA

 

I was able to purchase one for my SR5. Guy at parts found a VIN from a random TRD pro for me and was able to order. This was about 2 weeks ago.

 

Subbed to read later to help friends install my 17 pro grill on an 18 pro

 

I used the license plate holder hack and mine works like a champ. Over a month a 1000 miles later without a single issue (knock wood). I did do as someone on here suggested,...cant find the post number now, but I added a washer to the top screw to make sure that the sensor was aligned correctly. It seemed that it was pointed too far down, but you add the washer and it straightens it up.

 

TPD came thru. Parts arrived today!

 

Lucky! Placed an order today and it was voided

 

Found another dealership, and it shipped today!


How important is 88214-04020, the longer wire harness

 

Not necessary, I was able to route mine fine with stock harness.

 

I purchased it honestly because it was pretty cheap and after waiting for it all to cross the Atlantic, I didn't want to find my self needing it to get the job done. And have to wait weeks to get it.
Should have it all done tomorrow if I get a few minutes to myself.

 

Yah I ordered it, $18 and should be ready for pickup today at a local dealer

 

Any updates?

 

To summarize and for those who wants to go the OEM route, here are all the part numbers to make installation easy and straight forward. I got everything for around $270.

 

How neccesary are

$8 Lexus Genuine Factory 2 EMBLEM NUTS 90183-06044

90183-06044 Nut, Spring (x2)? Can the old ones not be reused? I ordered all the other parts but forgot to order those... is that something a dealer would normally stock if I really need them?

 

There are no old ones to re-use. I had to run to the local parts store to grab a couple... $0.10/ea.

 

I didn't know about the longer harness when I bought my oem grill and garnish plate.
I re-routed the wire as best as possible, but you can still see it when looking through the grill... Not really that noticeable, but if you're a perfectionist, you'll look at it every time you walk by it like I do. (Doesn't bother me enough to pull the grill back off tho )

 

Looks good on everyone else’s truck. Looks GREAT because this ones mine!

 

During my install over the weekend, I really appreciated having the new longer wire. Made things super easy.

 

I just ordered one of these online from a semi-local Toyota dealer. It asked for a VIN when ordering, so I just put one I found on Google. It was $207 including shipping and tax. *EDIT* Well after ordering they adjusted the tax and ran my card for $202, so I saved $5.

 

Wow that’s a great price for an oem pro grille. Share the link!
