    Hey everyone,

    Recently purchased a faux TRD Pro Grille off eBay when they had their 15% off coupon. The ad stated that the grille came with the Toyota lettering, but upon opening it today it does not. To make it worse, the seller has deleted the ad as well and when I try contacting them about it with the item number, the item number pops up as invalid. I’ve been screwed over by eBay before where they pretty much tell me to go kick rocks. So I’m just trying to figure out what the missing piece is called so I can get it installed on my truck and not make it look like it has missing teeth.

    Thanks!

    If all else fails, you could put some lighting in there.

    Ehh, the whole point was for it to say Toyota and not look..shitty:pray:

    I’m going to do my best to return it and get my money back. eBay screwed me over once, stopped using it for over 2 years, and the one time I go back to using it another identical issue. Hopefully they can help me out this time.

    I remember reading on the huge TRD Pro grill thread that the grill and the letter inserts were shipped separately to avoid copyright or trademark infringement (or something to that effect) with Toyota.

    What was the sellers screen name? I have one on the way from eBay and he deleted his post also. Hope it's not the same person!

    I had my wife check it, I am at work. She said it was left at the door which I expected. I’m going to have to check the mailbox to see if it’s there or keep waiting until Wednesday.

    The seller was “sellgoodbye”.

    He has 100% feedback so figured I’d be safe, and it was shipped from LA. Hopefully the other pieces are on their way or are in my mailbox like @flipnidaho stated!

    If you do it right, putting a decent light bar from ridgid or Baja designs would actually look pretty nice in the center, don't just throw some Chinese made no-name light bar with a zip tie on it

    Well good news! Looks like @flipnidaho was right! Just got home, went to check the mail box and boom! One piece is broken but that’s the least of my worries. For $75 I can’t complain! Thanks for the insight @flipnidaho!
