    Hey TW! I read up on the forums a lot before grabbing one of the TRD Pro grills, and there's threads upon threads of people going back and forth talking about the quality of the knock offs vs OEM. I noticed lots of people asking for pics also, so I made a vid which goes over the quality of the knock off (or as I'm calling it, the 'faux-pro grill,' ha) as well as running through the install with garnish for the sensor.

    Here's the vid!



    For the price difference and amount saved, I'm happy with it. I've checked out OEM TRD Pro grills up close as well and there's nothing that stands out that's drastically different. I figure since it's a grill, it's going to get some rock chips and hit lots of bugs. For the price I was seeing OEM grills at the time, I could buy ~3 of the knock offs. Got both grill + garnish on Amazon, links here:

    Grill: https://amzn.to/2F7B997 (if sold out > https://amzn.to/2OhFEB9)
    Sensor Cover: https://amzn.to/2T54Ew6

    Been driving with it for a few thousand miles and all is good! Washed it about 3 times since as well, once with pressure washer at a car wash, and lettering + finish is still fine.

    Hope some of you out there find it useful! :cheers:
