    Switched from a 2002 Tundra TRD Limited to 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport extended cab 6’ bed last summer and haven’t looked back. Just need the OEM TRD Pro grille and I’ll be set!

    Really loving it so far

    Welcome to TW! Don't get the OEM Pro grille, good quality replica Pro grilles are available for sale on eBay for 1/4 of the OEM price.

    I bought one of the first available replicas and actually found it here on TW in a thread dedicated to them. But I drilled the lettering holes too wide and never ended up installing them onto the grille, or the grille onto my truck

    No I had to put them in place. They can't come preinstalled from China. That's how they get around trademark violations during customs inspections.
