    For some reason I can still see the difference in the product shots. I do have a feeling the way its mounted plays a part with the sizing difference.

    This is the only thing holding me back from purchasing the grill at the moment. :annoyed:

    All of the letters are the same font and size. The first T and A have a lighter background color, so they look slightly different, but all the letters are exactly the same size. You can paint them before applying, and I'd suggest plastic epoxy because the double sided tape is weak.

    Letters are all the same.
    Light might just be playing tricks on you, the lighter background might make it seem like that.
    Here’s another couple of shots,
    This is from a pro grill with the OEM garnish pre installed.
    I’m getting ready to ship these out.

    Thanks for stopping by my shop dropping off 2 grilles! I sent 1 off to get painted. I'll let you know how it turns out.

    F9B74A81-3732-4427-ABA9-42A6DD9E4BA6.jpg The T and A are different. They have a skirt on them that is painted the same color as the letters. You have to paint the skirts or it will look odd. Just painted and attached mine last night. I used 3M tape instead of what came with them. And after they were all attached I took my soldering iron and melted the little tabs into the grille. They aren’t going anywhere

    This looks a lot better! Thanks for the info!

    When you got the grill the letters already came attached right? Did you just take them off and paint them?

    Ordered mine. I've been afraid of the eBay ones for broken clips, etc. so I appreciate not having to worry about that. It took me a while to figure out the two letters were why it didn't look quite right. That's an easy fix though.

    The OEM Pro does not have screws either but all the other trim styles do. I think the screws help hold the bezel on and the Pro doesn't have a bezel.

    Looks better than the Chinesium black. It makes the letters hard to see but I know some like that look.
