    Hey guys I’m new here and thought I’d ask you guys what you think about an aftermarket TRD PRO grill vs. OEM from dealer. The sensor cover piece is what I’m most concerned about. Has any one had any issues with aftermarket?

    I have an aftermarket pro grille on my 2017 got it for $90 still holding strong couple years later. And just installed one on my friends 2018 with the sensor and so far so good! Not worth paying $400 for oem in my opinion. Save money for other mods haha

    Aftermarket is just as good. You don’t need to worry about the sensor cover not fitting because it should fit without any sensitivity issues

    Thanks! Did you have to reset the sensor after or is it just a clean swap?
