    Yeah I saw that too, I think fake reviews are gonna be on any of these faux grille options. I know that Amazon is much more strict with sellers though, I'll update everyone on how this goes :/

    I think I got scammed by the same ebay person, same exact thing with a phony tracking number. Ebay just refunded my money over it too.

    i bought the same one Grille looks oem BUT if you have an 18+ i’ll let you lnow that the garnish didn’t line up perfectly so a friend and I had to play with it a bit. So far i have no more errors stating to clean the colision sensor and in fact today it someone cut me off and had to brake and my TSS went off saying to brake so it’s working

    That’s how I found out. I was pissed. He deleted the listing I paid for and every time I tried to click it, it just went back to the home page.

    Gotta look at the reviews and time sent. Fakes reviews are minutes apart or obvious fakes like, Robert Plant, Sammy Davis, Elsa Woods other famous names (seriously) , short reviews, or ALL 5 stars etc...
    I tend to look at the 3 to 1 star first.
    Ask where is it shipped from . This plays an important part if you need to return it.
    If sent from China , forget it.

    Everyday my Taco goes further with no error. Today made it to 12 miles before it asked me to clean sensor. Possibly learning new position. Sensor is clean. Garnish is flush. Sensor is tight.

    **Freaking T and A will get you in trouble every time!**

    It's a mute point now, but I like to show off my faux ebay grill and garnish that has worked flawlessly since I purchased and mounted...No need for a big money purchase people. This plastic works as good as the other plastic!

    The Amazon grille came out perfect. The sensor cover fit like a glove and I had no issues with the Install.
