    My OEM grille was made in the USA.

    Eta: I first bought an eBay grille and then decided it wasn't for me. The all gray letters would have bugged me. I know i could have painted them. A couple of the tabs also came broken.
    An eBay sale came up and I jumped on an OEM version. I had them side by side and really could not tell the difference other than the two all gray letters.

    I just bought this one.
    I took it out of the box to check it out and it looks great. Very well packaged and it came in a day.

    I’ll update here when I get it installed.

    It was like $330 after a 15% off coupon. It does look like they have gone up in price.

    I have noticed all China knockoffs are not the same. The one I got looks exactly like oem. Painting letters and all. Some letters on other knock offs are individul instead of panel, inferior paint etc. Shop around.
    Ebay seller was moto-vip but I see he does not have them now, as a matter of fact no Toyota grilles of any types.
