    It would sure be unique --if you had that spelling -- one would get a lot of second looks and head scratchers that's for sure

    Not sure why anyone gets bent out of shape about it. Slapping PRO badges on a nonPRO Tacoma is dumb as shit, but a nicely designed grille that just says “Toyota” just looks good.

    Any Tacoma enthusiast will know the difference anyway.

    My 2nd gen is largely debadged and my mud flaps are cut short so they no longer have the 4x4 logo. People probably think I’m some prerunner but who gives a fuck.

    Only people that can go to hell are people who badge a truck and sell it as something it’s not. Fuck those people.

    TRD chrome grill vs black Pro grill. Nuff said. I'm pretty sure Toyota made it deliberately ugly so people would replace it.

    Looks legit to me but if it's too cheap to be true then it probably is...not a risk I'd take personally.

    Faux:
    The 3 vertical bars are thicker
    Letters not colored
    O's are wider
    Does not have safety support in the middle bottom of the grille

    Working on it, dissent offroad racks, shift sense pro, pedal commander , ARB twin, rigid SS dually's , dual batteries, ARB fridge , 2.5 Fox coil overs wResi , 2.5 Fox rears w resi Total chaos UCA , deaver packs , Nitto trail grappler's 33" .
    There are some parts...is the Pro grill I like and have. But not going to badge my OR with Pro badging.
    I wanted my suspension and my wheels etc... So for me buying a Pro would not have made sense.
    But if someone wants a full on faux Pro, go for it and enjoy it !
    I got the shift knob too lol
