    No worries, I'm very happy with mine, that's about what I paid when I got mine, but I know they went up for awhile. If your experience is the same as mine, I think you'll be satisfied.

    Contacted the company and after going back and forth with them they sent me a new garnish. May fix the issue but once I hit 5 miles every trip it throws the warning sometimes before that. I’ll install the new one today and see what happens. Have you guys fixed your issues?

    Aside from the minor Garnish fit issue, everything went in as expected, tightened up, there are no squeaks or rattles TSS works as it should,throwing no codes or lights...
    whole install was less than an hour start to finish.:)

    Mine keeps throwing clean sensor message and leaves the light on the whole drive. The new garnish they sent me throw the code at 5.6mile vs the normal 5.

    @danbarone1994 Is it possible that the TSS is not plugged in all the way ? (properly seated ,whereas you can feel the click)or a wire was broken when rerouting the cable , or has gotten soaked ? ( pressure washer or rain water.

    @Lucifer1 can you take a picture of your sensor without the garnish on and post it here place? And a close picture of the garnish on? I want to see how far your garnish goes into the grill. I think I see the issue but need something to compare it to. You have no issues right?

    That is correct, I bought the Mad Hornets grill on line for my 2019 TRD Sport 4x4 Man. shift, my truck is equipped with ACC and DRCC . I tried to just pop the garnish into place, it would not fit properly, it was loose and wobbled, this was while I had the grill on the bench, face up. I grabbed my trusty Drummle tool, set it on low speed, and proceed to trim the horizontal tabs to give me a snug click in fit, recessed in slightly, no more loose fit or chance to rattle. turned the grill over (facing down) secured the TSS sensor. with the existing hardware. Mounted the grill on the truck, made sure the connector was pushed snugly into the sensor, it clickes. used tie wraps to secure the extra cable. have put almost 1000 Miles on it in DFW traffic and freeway driving, works perfect. I am 68 yrs old, Technically challenged, my cell phone will probably take pictures, but I don't know how to post them.
