    What’s up guys, can you recommend the best aftermarket fitting grill replacement for my 2023 SR5.

    Thanks for your help.

    I would imagine the best fitting would be a factory Toyota grille....

    I have had a chinesium special on for 3 years now with the knock off sensor cover and I havnt had any notable issues. Once in awhile I get a dirty sensor message typically clears up in a few minutes. Biggest difference is in the lettering.

    I bought a cheap Chi-com made Pro style grill from MC Auto. It came with white letters and a garnish plate. It's been on for 3 years now with zero issues. I think it's kind of hit or miss with these cheap aftermarket Pro grills. Most folks have no issues with them, but some do!

    Mine is from Taco Garage. I was actually surprised at the quality, it’s really nice for being Chinese.

    Yep, the grill was the first thing I replaced when I got my '19 Sport. That plastic honeycomb is so ugly and plastic won't stop a tree branch or even a big rock at highway speeds. I got billet aluminum from Trex and never looked back, here's a link for SR5: https://theyotagarage.com/products/...e-overlay-2014-toyota-4runner-trail-sr5-21949 and my installation post here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/3rd-gen-grille-installation-with-eye-candy.675257/

    Also you left out the "n" in your post title so google and this site search won't be as useful..."Replacemet"
