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

This is where I ordered from. There are only 100 or so miles from me, so shipping was only $12. YMMV depending on how far they are from you.

Are these actually OEM parts? It doesn't look like its affiliated with any dealership.

Can you post a picture of your parts when they arrive?

 

These are OEM. It's a Toyota dealership in Chehalis, WA. If you remove the subdomain and go directly to their website, you'll see. Many dealers have online parts ordering subdomains like parts.yourlocaltoyotadealer.com etc. I will post pictures when it arrives.

Here's a Google street view showing they are in fact a Toyota dealership.

I added their products to my cart, gave them my email address, and closed the window. Within an hour they gave me a coupon to reduce shipping costs by 20%.

Did you order the 2018+ grill or the 2016-2017 grill?

 

The new 2018 one with the part number shown here on my order:

 

I really want to wait for someone to order using this website and receive their product because it seems fishy that the 2018 Pro Grill is about half the price of the 2016-2017. And it has no picture.

 

From searching around Google, it seems the 2018 version is significantly cheaper than the older model. Search that part number on Google and you'll see the cost at various dealerships parts websites.

 

That’s literally what this whole thread is about haha.

2018+ Grills are 170-200 and requires a $50 dollar radar garnish. Problem is 2018+ grills are harder to get because Toyota has issued a stop sale. The few dealerships that will sell them will ask for a TRD Pro Vin # to place the order.

2016-2017 Grills you can get at any dealership, no questions asked but they are $440+ dollars

 

@Rysandro So, are you going to open that box and show us?

 

My bad We installed it on Saturday and haven’t taken good photos yet.

PS this is not my truck, it’s my Uncles. His son and me are just spending his money haha

 

Looks good!

 

You can verify you receive an OEM grill by the markings on the inside: Toyota symbol, part #, date code.
Something interesting I noticed is that the new 2018 grill has both part numbers on it... the old 2017 part number, plus the 2018 part number.
The cheaper 2018 grill is literally the same exact grill (minus the radar filler plate), and they're just stamping in the new part number.
If you have the tss radar, don't waste money on the older OEM grill.

 

If you google pictures of TRD PROs...you will clearly see the exact some TSS cover that are in all these threads...weird...someone didn't educate their employees lol

 

Just received my tracking number this morning. I should have the grille soon.

 

For the $207 did the garnish come in the box and the two bolts. Did you need the longer wire as well?

 

I don't think the garnish comes with it. I'll know Saturday when it arrives though. I won't need a longer wiring harness, the one on the truck will reach.

 

I have to go pick mine up

 

Hmm this site looks like it may be down or something now. Placed an order on it earlier and now it isn't loading. We must've overloaded the server.

 

Its down at the moment.
