“Pro” grills are on every Tacoma I see in SoCal..

OEM Off-Road grill with Black surround checking in. Can you guys post your grills that’s not a “Pro” style grill? Feel free to check in that you got a “Pro” grill as well. This is an equal opportunity posting. Good luck with your brackets and have a great night.

 

When the 16's came out there was no Pro and guys were installing SR5 grills with black surrounds. The PRO's came out and now any slightly modded tacoma has a pro grill.

The Toyota safety sense really stiffled the grill vendors, but there are plenty of choices.

 

I remember when I was one of the few with the pro grill on my 2nd gen....

Then China did their research

 

The reason so many people have the pro grill is that it looks good.

 

I liked it for the retro look .... now I’m starting to not like it. But I would like to hear everyone’s opinion on it as well

 

I’m noticing that more since I put mine on (two weeks ago lol).

Maybe Selective Observation.

 

Sorry I meant I would* ... made the edit

 

In fairness, I don't dislike the other grills that much either.

 

I personally like the look of the SR5 grill on a 2.5 gen

 

Ive only seen a few here in new orleans ... and im pretty sure all of them were actualy trd pro’s ... im just faking it

 

Check this one out for the prefacelift 2nd gen

 

In B.C. Canada I think it comes Stock on every single trim level. I can’t even see a 3rd Gen Tacoma without a pro grill on the roads anymore.

That being said I do love the look of it!

 

The only knock on the pro grille is it is obviously just cheap plastic. Even the OEM version. When I took off my 2017 OR “black chrome” cheese-grater grille I was actually surprised at how nicely it was made. Then I took my OEM TRD Pro grille outta the Toyota box and thought “da fuck is this?”. However, I am a slave to fashion, so I’m still rocking that cheap plastic OEM Pro Grille.

 

But the letters are mixed up

 

I kept my factory grill, simply for the fact that everybody and their brother has a pro grille.

 

Sometimes you gotta fake it

 

Nice truck! Would look sweet with a pro grill

 

I saved my chrome cheese grater. I’m going to wait until all other grilles are Pro grilles then put it back on. The chicks will be like “wow.....his truck is so fancy!!!”

 

I think Toyota doesn’t allow you to show the logo on a replica part being sold so the sellers do that to keep Toyota off their back

 

Hahaha! People will say “wow don’t see many of those grilles must be a pro” LOL
