1st Gen Tacoma “PRO” Grill

Well this whole thing is screwy.
If I plug in numbers on the product listing it ends up being $98 with shipping per grille for 5 grilles or $84 per grill with shipping for 10 grilles.
However, after talking with the supplier they are telling me that its $60 for the grille and another $70 for shipping per piece for 10 grilles.

This is all to erratic for me.
I will just wait until I actually need (well want really) one and go through the order process then.

 

Getting dark and paint is still drying but here’s a preview

 

I like it!

 

next time I replace my grill, i'm going to mod these LED's into the triangle sections for turn signals.. already bought them but too lazy with my dremel to do it.

Paint dry and a better pic. Still waiting on the letters from the seller. I’m kind of wondering if the letters from the 3rd gen replica pro grills will work

 

Saw this one on Instagram. There is an account selling them for $350 shipped pretty steep, especially since they are probably buying them from the same supplier.

 

Yeah that’s definitely the same grill I got. Finish is the same. Guarantee they’re just buying them in bulk and selling them for 3 times the price.

 

How hard would it be to vinyl wrap the grill in chrome vynil?

 

Drop shipping mofo...ofc they live in california

 

The center of the grill pops out with tabs so that part wouldn’t be bad. But the corner triangle indents look like it would be an issue

 

You leaving it black? Or is that just primer?

 

yeah I’m leaving it black. I just didn’t like the color it came with. It was flat black like a chalkboard look. I was going to color match the outside to super white, maybe at some later date though. The raptor bro lights do fit

 

I was just hoping you were going to paint it silver so I could see what it would look like haha.

 

Just emailed them about the one without the lights. They said they are out of stock in the USA and shipping from China is too costly.
Hopefully they restock I guess.

 

Letters finally came. I’m not a big fan of the “O”s. Any chance anyone has measurements of the actual TRD pro letters wondering if they will fit

 

All right review time. Overall I would probably rate the grill 6/10. I think it looks good after some paint. Just my opinion though. I would say the quality of the grill is less than other aftermarket ones I’ve had. The plastic is pretty flimsy. The screws that came to mount the letters were too short, had to go out and buy longer ones. Most of the slots where the grill clips should fit in, don’t have the correct tolerances. You slide the clips in and they only stay in place in a slightly angled position. Even with new OEM clips I couldn’t get them to stay in. I ended up using the zip tie method on all the mounting points. Sounds worse than it is, it’s pretty solid. The led lights snap in so no complaints there. Overall I’m pleased with how it turned out. Would I recommend it based on the price? Ehhhhh

 

Did you end up installing it and have some pictures? I may purchase one.
