New Tacoma owner and Aftermarket Grills

Hey everyone! I recently bought a 2018 Tacoma SR5 Double cab and also am new to this page. I decided to do a bunch of new cosmetic work before doing anything huge. So I’m curious if anyone knows of any good companies that work in aftermarket grills that I can check out? Thanks! Look forward to being apart of this group.

 

Probably best to type grille in the search box above. It should bring up alot og posts on that subject.

I'm curious why there's such a huge price difference between those two options. Is there a big difference in quality too?

 

One is OEM, the other is not. Both are plastic. Really up to you if you think the OEM version is worth the price premium (hint: there’s no wrong answer).

Edit: shit didn’t click on the link. Looks like both are non-OEM. Still above applies, I’ll say caliraised is a “known and trusted” company for whatever that’s worth.

The OEM grill costs even more.

 

Neither of those are OEM. According to CaliRaised he works directly with a supplier he knows pushes out very high quality fakes. Whether it's true or not, I don't know. I ordered a $75 grill that's coming from China. I get it today, we'll see how it works out.

 

Caliraised version says it's from Caliraised and is 'OEM quality' so my assumption is that it's not OEM. I could be wrong though!

 

There’s a huge debate whether the $75 aftermarket or $450 OEM plastic grills are the same plastic. Whichever the case, you can buy 6 aftermarket for the same price and have some leftover for front end collisions and Christmas presents.

 

Yeah I noticed that after clicking the link. Just assumed the second url would be OEM.

They also sell the cool raptor lights. all plug and play. Check out their Youtube as well, they have install vids on everything they sell

 

Wow I like that a lot. Too bad it probably wont work with TSS

 

You never know, might be worth it to give them a call and ask. They have pretty good customer service. I have a second gen so idk about TSS, but is there a difference in the sensor location from 2016-2017 and 2018+? Because it gives a drop down box to choose which, so the grills must be different between the model years

 

Empyre off-road metal grilles!
Love mine and get sooo many compliments on it!
And tss compatible

 

I believe TSS is only on 2018+. 2016s and 17 don't have TSS

 

Then i'd be willing to bet that TSS will work with that grill, as long as you choose 2018+ when ordering.

Always liked their stuff, probably would've gone that route if a pro grill hadn't fallen into my lap

Is the Toyota pro shop grille good quality anyone have any problems with them??
