TACO GARAGE - TRD Pro grilles (and garnishes)

Placed my order for the PRO/ Heritage grill on Monday, 8/17.
Received my tracking# on Wednesday, 8/19. Package shipped 8/20.
Package received 8/21.
Taco Garage.

 

seller here seems flakey, not a good business move plus the claims they sold cheaper quality grills they didn’t actually make. I bought mine through someone else after reading through the responses here

 

Just ordered a fully blacked out one on Monday 8/24. I received tracking info on 8/27, and it shipped on the 30th. Should get it 9/9. Will post Images/Install when received.

 

Received mine today. Looks good, but wish I would have just spent the extra $100 for an OEM like my old one. Don’t like all the rough cuts and plastic burrs.

 

The best deal I could find on a OEM was $390 before tax.. $240 more. I guess maybe e bay has some cheaper? Didn't check there tbh

 

Lowe Toyota. It’s like 300 shipped. No garnish

 

I got my faux grill for $99 shipped. You can't tell the difference between an OEM and aftermarket once it's installed. I'll take a $200 savings any day.

 

I will still be able to see shit like this when it’s installed. Guess it will just look like a beat up OEM.

 

Well your initial post stated "it looks good", based on that picture, it doesn't look good. You should call Taco Garage and request a new one, good luck though from what I hear they take forever to respond and even longer to deliver their products.
This thread is the reason I bought mine elsewhere.

 

It’s looks like a good cheap repop. Definitely doesn’t look as good as OEM. I noticed the differences as soon as I started pulling it out of the box. I’m also pretty ocd about details. I just expected more the way people talk these up.

 

The one I got, not from Taco Garage was pretty damn good, especially for $99. Though having never physically dealt with an OEM Pro Grill I had nothing to compare it with. Ultimately it's just a cosmetic change, so money saved is well worth it to me.

 

You definitely got a bad one out of the batch. I would definitely contact Fresh Mexican about that and see what he'll do about making good on it, he's good about fixing issues like this. I bought one from him about a year ago and it was gorgeous out of the box, no mold defects or anything, definitely on par with an OEM pro grill except for it being a matte finish instead (which I preferred anyways).

 

Mine came from taco garage, the actual grill part I didnt notice any issues, though the plastic was a bit 'rough' around some of the edges. Now the aftermarket garnish on the other hand.... that came with scratches and clear imperfections . I did contact them and he sent out a replacement, however that one was worse then the one that came originally, so I just kept the one it came with. From 5-10' you can't see it, but I am a bit disappointed. for the money difference, I'm still glad I got this one.

 

Mine has a small warp but only noticeable if you really look for it. Otherwise, I’ve been driving around with the grill and sensor for 5 months and no issues.

 

I might have Ponied up more $$ if I would've found a OEM grill sub $350. Didnt see any so I went with TG. For the price, I'm happy with it. But everyone has different standards. As long as we all agree, PRO / heritage grill is a a p.damn good looking.

 

Are grills and aftermarket garnish in stock?

 

They are and in fact we now have color matched letters to tacoma colors as well as white and amber raptor lights, smoked lenses or not.

 

Thanks to all of you guys who have bought from us so far we really appreciate the support, we have been absent from the forum for a bit but were finally caught up with orders and shipping daily again.

 

We have a million messages and posts to go through, I apologize if we don't get to every single one, we'll be going through them and responding

 

Any plans for a 2020 TRD Pro grille for those that have the multi-terrain view camera? I'd love a non-OEM option.
