TRD Pro grill

Bro... Your signature is AWESOME!!

 

Thanks, Just want to bring happiness to the team~! LOL

 

Has anyone installed a mgm color match pro grille? Was just gonna do the standard color, but if its a match I will go for the MGM.

 

This seemed the appropriate place as to not ask in any vendor-specific thread, but is anyone having QC issues with aftermarket Pro grilles? Before I respond (yet again) to a vendor I've been working with, I want to level set my expectations of quality.

Long story short, the 1st grille I ordered had a lot of leftover plastic on the edges (from the manufacturing process I'm guessing) that will need to be trimmed. There are also some deep cuts/gouges in a few spots, the coating is thin/missing in several areas and the upper section, which is visible once installed, has two glaring defects.

I reached out to the vendor who responded pretty quickly and got a replacement shipped out (told me to keep the old one, which I thought was... interesting) but it has the same QC issues.

It's not OEM, I get that... but are defects like these common from various aftermarket vendors?

Images of the 1st grille I received (sent these to the vendor):















Going to keep the vendor anonymous for now until I get a feel for others' experiences. I do "technically" have two grills for the price of one, but either way I'm going to have to spend time sanding, trimming and respraying before installing.

 

Man the first few posts in this thread nailed it!
