    Hi guys I searched on here before posting but didn't see this exact thread...

    Anyway wanted to see Verified Purchase opinions on the Fake Pro Grilles
    See what suppliers are better than others for price and quality, see what people had for buying experiences...

    Thanks

    I like mine from Taco Garage. Note that shipping was extremely slow (like two weeks) but everything fits nice and works with TSS. Only issue is that the aftermarket garnish has a few flaws but you cant see them from more than 3-5ft away so all in all I'm happy with it.


    Btw this has been posted countless times on here already

    Why put fake stuff on your truck just to save a few bucks??

    How do the letters attach on theirs? Also, how long did shipping take?

    2 screws for each letter (except 1 on the "Y"). Took about a week to 10 days (don't remember exactly)

    That looks good man I want one with red letters instead of just the gray or black and id rather save a few bucks to put towards some other add ons

    I saw this company and all the reviews were decent but couldn't find anyone that made a purchase from them

    thanks

    Seriously, we're talking about putting a Pro grill on a non-Pro truck. Do you think most of us really care if the grill is OEM or not? If I can save a few hundred dollars by going aftermarket and it looks and functions the same, why not? Mine cost $150 for the grill and garnish.

    Yup I second this. The pro grill is like $400, vs. $150 for an aftermarket. Obviously beat if you can go OEM, but the savings is significant
