    I went with truck-accessories-guy.com for my Faux Pro Grill and couldn't be happier.. It's really good quality for the price ($150 including garnish and Raptor lights), no issues with fit or the garnish whatsoever. I know these grills are everywhere, but I just didn't like the look of all the space in the OEM OR grill and the chicks seem to dig it - cuz that's what matters.

    I've had an OEM Pro grill installed since Jan 2017, X-mas present from the wife. Back then they were $400 sourced only from a dealer.

    Still looks great and matches my steering wheel.

    Summer 2016 when I had the stock grill.

    20160408_175402.jpg

    OEM Pro grill installed Dec 2016.

    Quicksand looks so much better with the Pro grill.

    $75 free shipping ebay one here. Good enough for me. Sure there're gaps here and there but there's bigger one coming from the factory. Just look at the rear bumper and how far it sits away from the bed. $400 OEM grille seems overspent and unneccesary for this cheapskate. I put that money towards a decent slimline bumper and a reliable winch instead. A grille is a grille is a grille.

    Knock off grills didn't show up until later in 2017, if you wanted a Pro grill then you had OEM or nothing. Now it would be hard to justify the price of OEM over the better knockoffs available today.

    Same..... that's also why I put it on the X-mas list for the wife to buy, I do that to all the expensive truck stuff I want. It's how I got Clazzios for my birthday.

    I'm just trying to remove all chrome from the truck. The cheapest black grill is these replica Pro grills. I'd even settle for a SR5 grill but there's no market for replica SR5 grills.

    Yeah, I'm the process of deleting mine as well. This is not the 60's. Get on with it Toyota.

    Actually, I love my 2020 TRD Off Road "Taco Belle" just the way she looks. My wallet and goals on what I do to the truck are moving towards enhancing the performance (not going overboard), and mild off road capabilities within reason, and not for looks. Armor, suspension, sliders, aux lighting, and tires are probably all I will do, along with a cap roof rack system (Thule Skybox) for the Leer cap that is currently on the truck, and a rack over the cab (no decisions yet as to what brand). An air compressor, recovery boards, snap line and all other goodies to get me out of trouble (or somebody else), is what's in store, for now.
    Our goals are to have vehicle "travel ready" for beach driving, and mountain roads, and to take us on a long cross country trip camping with overland side trips in a year.

    Still loving my X-Trek. I always thought the pro grille protruded too much on a nose heavy truck.
