How to tell if Pro grill is OEM?

I’ve got a used ‘20 MGM TRD OR that I’m running until my Lunar Rock OR is delivered at the end of the year. The previous owner did quite a bit to this MGM though. Pro grill, interior LEDs, steps, backflip tonneau, clear bra on the hood, power locking tailgate and the chrome delete kit from Meso.

I’m taking the tonneau and maybe the pro grill for my LR. My question is how would I know if it’s OEM or a knockoff?

 

I know the one that comes with the TRD lift comes with a front camera mount weather you want it or not. Was wondering if they actually make an OEM without it.

 

Not overly familiar with the grilles but removing it and looking for Toyota part numbers seems to be the easiest way to determine if it is OEM or not.

 

Look like a Knockoff

OEM has a semigloss to it. That looks like flat Matte finish like most all aftermarket ones

Also if the letters on the back of the grille are held on by screws or not. Or the letter section is held on by screws

 

Here are marking on the backside of an OEM...https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/sold-oem-pro-grill-garnish-225-shipped.679685/#post-23937457

 

awesome thank you

 

If you can't tell the difference does it matter?

 

Probably not. If it’s OEM I would find an original OR grill to put here though as I won’t have both trucks at the same time. If it’s aftermarket it’s not worth the hassle to me and I’ll just a new one later on

 

Looks like aftermarket grille and aftermarket garnish

 

The old version of the pro grill (bought mine in summer of 2017) don’t have the camera mount. Not sure if the old version is still available.

 

Throw some rocks at it?

 

It’s got the nice LED headlights too! Could always swap those if your LR has the standard headlights

 

Yeah I know this thing was pretty well equipped. My LR does have them too though so I’ll leave those be for the next owner.

It’s funny because the Honda dealership I bought it from didn’t list any of these upgrades and sold it as an SR

 

Dang selling as an SR was a mistake on their end. Definitely got a fully equipped TRD OR

 

Taste test

 

Haha
