    Wanted to avoid getting a TRD Pro Grill but this is listed at a pretty good price. Seller claims it’s OEM Toyota but hard to tell from pictures. Anyone able to tell if so? If it is aftermarket what’s your guys take on what it’s worth? Thanks!

    OEM Pro grills have more gloss than that what your posting. look for some part numbers. I have an OEM Pro grill and cannot remember if it had any part numbers. However if that one your looking at is aftermarket maybe worth $50. They can be had for $100 from some sites.

    OEM Toyota should have screws and clips. Aftermarket clips only. From what I’ve seen…

    I believe the OEM grill has ribbed sections on the internal upper bars...in the photos those look smooth.

    The back of an OEM grill will have Toyota stamped on it and part numbers. Also that garnish is not OEM either. Aftermarket garnishes are usually very bright with their colors. Here is my OEM Lift Kit Grille with an OEM Garnish

    I went aftermarket and have not had any issues in 2 years.

    Here's a helpful video to help explain some of the differences.

    Thanks all! Checked it out yesterday and was definitely a replica (after guy messaged me it was OEM ‍♂️). Decided to pass as I figured could get an aftermarket for not much more, was just hoping for a steal for an OEM.
