TRD Pro grille insert. Where to get it?

I can't seem to find any that are oem for less than $350. Do you have a link possibly?

 

are you guys who bought the knockoff grille running the OEM garnish piece? I wasn't going to use the Pro style grille but after looking at the other options I just can't stand the plate at the bottom of the mesh type grilles.

 

Yeah I bought mine off of ebay. I think that the pro grille does look the best with that garnish cover, mesh grilles look a little weird with it.

 

Paid $180 for the grille itself. They did not have any on hand nor did any other dealerships around me have it. Took them 3 days to get it. Parts guy took a random pro vin and was able to order without any problems. Try calling around different dealerships to see if they can order it for you. Each dealer sells parts at a different price.

 

Thanks for the info! I will make a couple calls tomorrow

 

Just broke down and bought the $72 one on eBay. Going to go without the garnish first and see how things go. If no issues I’ll run it that way, if I run in to issues I’ll spend the additional $50 and get the garnish.

 

My $73 Pro Grille from eBay just showed up today without the entire center section and logo even though the listing says."come with logo."

awesome... wish me luck!

 

Oh shit. That’s not good.
I think it says, letters may come in separate package.
It does indeed. Patience and you should be good.

 

Unfortunately, the listing I purchased from reads a little differently and doesn't appear to involve two separate packages:

 

I got my $73 eBay grill a few days ago and the logo was complete. BUT the oem garnish did not fit properly.... palm to face.

 

The 2016-2017 Pro grille ranges $300-$400.

The 2018 Pro grille is much cheaper $170-$180. Search part number PT228-35180 for the 2018-2019 version and you’ll find several dealer listings. Find the dealer nearest to you to minimize shipping costs. You’ll need to suppy an actual 2018-2019 Tacoma TRD Pro VIN to complete the purchase. See the link below:

The radar/sensor garnish (part # 53141-35060) has to be purchased separately. It goes for $40-$50.

 

I initially ran with the 'knock-off' garnish and at first I got a couple of TSS error lights on the dash. They went away in a coupe of days and the system always functioned OK AFAIK.
But, when I installed my forward looking camera, I swapped out 'knock off' garnish for the matte OEM garnish. I do know what you mean by not liking the shiny finish in the middle of a matte grille.

 

eBay has some. I got mine on Amazon...the company was Spartan something for $110. The new fake grille I got has held up just fine. When installing on a TSS model, it took me a second but there's part of the honeycomb that pops out with some force. As stated aboce, you'll need to buy the garnish separately but it's real straight forward. I see no reason to go with OEM. Also, there's a member on here that makes some real nice looking custom grilles called Xtec. They're classic retro looking...if I hadn't already installed the Pro grille I would've gone in that direction.

Ok so I need some help tracking down the original honeycomb insert on the pro grill. Mine broke and I bought the tss garnish. I’m not liking the shiny insert and want to back. Does anyone know where I can buy that insert that originally came with the grill?

 

Looking to get another TRD grill, and just wanted to save these 2 links for later... http://www.madhornets.com/trd-pro-grille-with-acc-drcc-garnish-sensor-cover-for-tacoma-2017-2019/
