    I have, the quality is pretty good for the cost.
    I have heard that they sometimes send the insert in two separate shipments.DSC_1689.jpg

    The Amazon one, Areyoushop.
    Mine is a 2017 TRD Sport, so I do not have the sensor.
    However, there is an area in the faux grill to switch out with the plastic piece for the sensor.

    Also I am unsure if it also applies to the OEM TRD Pro Grille, but it seems like a plastic that can fade pretty easily. So might need to hit it up with a bunch of UV protection.

    just buy the OEM "radiator garnish" for the TRD Pro and snap that into place to cover the sensor and you'll be good to go.

    I bought from the second link on Amazon, pretty quick shipping, and i did buy the garnish from ebay as i have an '18 and wanted to continue use of the TSS.

    Took longer getting the old grille out than putting new one in. I opted not to use the tape when putting TOYOTA on from of grille and used plastic epoxy instead. Sensor worked great, looks great, no issues at all. Haven't seen an OEM grill, can't imagine much of a difference for the price besides piece of mind, etc.
