    There are a lot of things they are letting slide by, like theft. Also stunned they have the man power and resources to accomplish tasks like this for Amazon.

    still thieves, I don't feel sorry for them. I am sure if it was your brand, you'd feel the same way.

    There's gotta be 10+ companies that make Pro grille copies. It's one of the most common mods for a 3rd gen Tacoma. For a long time Toyota wouldn't even sell you a pro grille. Unless you proved you owned a pro.

    I'd bet the guy that was selling these purchased them from a supplier, then marked them up. Like any other business. So how are they a thief?
