    There is various users using these for over a year. I bought this same grill and it looks good. I would be happy if I get two years out of it. You can buy more than 5 of these for the same price as OEM, giving you the option to upgrade to the next hit.

    I bought the OEM garnish for $50 at the same time. No error message.

    Installed my replica grille last night with the garnish. We had some pretty intense rain today. I was concerned that it was going to throw some warnings while driving through the rain but zero indicators. Love the look but do feel that is cheap and does not attach as secure as the factory one.

    What do you connect the amber LED's to? The ebay listing I see (https://www.ebay.com/itm/ALL-NEW-ST...-TRD-GRILL-LEDS-AMBER-2016-2018-/362492805967) does not list it in the description.

    Well turns out the eBay guy bruceshark_001 took the money out of my account and didn’t ship it after 3 days of waiting I emailed him. He responded and said he will send it out in 24hours. Then he deleted the item and when I click it to report it the message says I am not purchasing the item. Hmm so he took my money then disappeared. Sounds like a scam. Anyway. I was mad all yesterday and tried to forget about it by painting my running boards with bed paint. They turned out great.
    Woke up this morning and my husband woke up early to go buy this off of craigslist. I walk out of the room and see this with some coffee.
    He knows me so well.

    I'd say he's a keeper (the husband, not the grill) :)

    I wonder if the plastic on the OEM TRD Pro grille is comparable to the fake one. Has anyone compared the two side by side? Any feedback?

    I got this one a few weeks ago, with the lights and everything, the fitment is okay...there is a slight gap when it's installed but it's not too noticeable. I also needed to replace the screws that came with it to attach the TOYOTA because they were too small to hold it in place, and I had to modify the area for the block off plate if you have the sensor in there.
