There's more red flags here than a north korean parade.

The only source for OEM parts is Toyota. Anyone selling OEM parts that's not a dealer or Toyota is just a drop shipper, counterfeiter, or gray market importer. Just don't.

Good luck.

 

Tacoma owners have to be some of the easiest group of people to fall for a good old fashioned illegitimate storefront scam, it just needs to be a flashy website and five dollars less than retail.


I say this as I'm literally waiting on parts for my convertible that I ordered from Bulgaria.

 

If you have to question it then it's probably not legit...

It's because everyone is always looking to save as much money as they can when it comes to auto repairs, that's why Amazon/ebay parts are so enticing to people that wana guess at a part instead of actually doing some testing or paying someone to test it. The parts are such shit though that they build in more problems and spend more money (and still end up taking it to a shop) than if they would have just got a proper diagnosis to begin with. Then by the time we get it we have to replace all the shit parts with good parts in order to find the original problem.

Granted this is just a grill but just remember those cheap parts usually cost more in the long run than buying a quality part up front.
