Not all TRD Pro grilles are the same.

I don't need to tell you because if you're here more than likely you already know this but...
The OEM grill is 400(ish) without garnish
Replicas vary in price from sub $100 to almost OEM prices which might seem strange since they are all basically the same but not exactly so here's a few of the differences between them...

 

Does this mean I can buy one from you now ?

 

Still don't understand the obsession over these grilles, but w/e.

 

yes

 

Hi AJ,
Good video man, thanks.

So with the TSS equipped Tacoma you remove that backing plate on your version of the grill?

I'm confused by the Aftermarket, OEM, No Thanks choices on your website. Which choice would I select for either a 2019 or 2020 w/TSS?

Also, does your grill replace the bezel on the 19' or 20' Off-Road?
Thanks,
Rob

 

If you have a TSS equiped taco, you need the "garnish" so yes you replace that center piece with the garnish in order to avoid any errors popping up.
If you have a 2018-2020 you need a grill with garnish. OEM garnish is much more expensive because toyota decided to raise the price on them but aftermarket so far seems to be working like a charm, its what I use on my 19.
Yes this style of grill replaces the chrome bezel as well.

 

Ok so then the three choices are for either aftermarket, oem or no garnish (pre 2018). Got it.

My 17' was totalled and I'm waiting for settlement to buy my replacement. Could be a month or two. How long is your sale going to be going on? I'd be ordering the black or grey letters (I'm painting them to match the color truck I get anyway) with the aftermarket garnish.

I do not want to deal with plastidipping the OEM grill like I did last time.

Thanks,
Rob

 

I'm ordering the grill from you. So $299 includes the OEM garnish? You have the OEM in stock? Do youhave any issues using the aftermarket garnish. I have the OEM Pro grill and garnish with no issues in my 18, however I'm funding my sons build on his 18 and trying to save a little. Thoughts please. Nice video and thanks for sharing.

 

should compare oem to aftermarket so we can make that choice

 

This.

 

They look better.

Case closed.

 

Maybe. I don’t like the way they stick out like a big ol plastic boner

 

I’m happy to be adopted if you would like.

 

Black letters in stock?

 

Wow 10 minutes of riveting description! FWIT, Ruffles have ridges.

 

I mean. Barely.

Better than that fugly Toyota emblem and chrome grill surround. And that sorta black chrome ambiguous colored not quite honey comb pattern.

 

The non-pro grilles look like complete shit. The Pro grille looks awesome. It's not that hard to grasp.

 

It’s still pretty hard for me to grasp. So you’re saying you like the pro grill better? I’m confused.

 

My concern is also the aftermarket garnish. Any return or exchange for own policy if we have trouble with the aftermarket?

 

Yea I like it but it seems like everyone has one. Honestly though there has to be other ones that are cool too...
