    I wonder if anyone else has the same experience? I have a 2018 Sport and would hate to spend money on a grille that is poor made specially if any error msgs spears due to the TSS. I would buy an OEM TSS garnish thou.

    Sure thing. I'm here to help you frivolously spend all your money.

    Please note that these ATX 16x8 wheels have a zero (0) offset, while the 16x8 SCS Ray10's have a -12mm offset, so the appearance and clearance may be slightly different.

    I know, I don’t mind a little extra poke... I had to make 285’s fit my SR5 so I’m not too worried about rubbing haha

    Thank you :bowdown:

    20190203_120344.jpg Bought mine from Ebay also. But the Garnish I bought happened to be genuine Toyota so I had to modify it a tad to get it to fit. Also they sent #8 screws for the "Toyota" letters (which I was happy because mine was the 1 piece logo) and it took #10. But I work at Fastenal so I used stainless screws anyway :p

    I don’t have TSS so I don’t need to worry about the sensor cover. Didn’t buy one.
    No issues for me.

    So update on this...unfortunately, the Ebay seller turned out to be a shady POS. A week after placing my order, I check the status on my account and it was no longer available "Item as been removed". I usually wouldn't care about stuff like that, but right before doing this, the seller placed a fake shipping tracker on the item which charged my PayPal. Long story short, called Ebay and they were more than accommodating and refunded everything.

    Seller had 9k Reviews, almost all being 5 stars too.. :censored:

    Decided to buy this instead - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07N86H4VP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
