    A BIG thank you to my wife and the team at The Taco Garage. Got my Pro Grill installed yesterday. Ordered from Taco Garage and went with grey letters and the garnish pre-installed for the TSS.

    Installation was super easy and took under 30 minutes, working carefully and slow. Qualify of the grill looked very good, and both the letters and garnish shipped pre-installed. Was pleased to see that their grill even had a spot to pop in the TSS plastic wire retaining clip.

    Turned on the truck and was happy to see no error lights on the dash.

    The truck looks tougher and proper now!

    Is that a python green Macan gts I see? Tried to talk my wife into that color. No go. Ended up with the ruby copper which is pretty amazing but not python green!

    Nice looking grille! :thumbsup: Did your truck have an OEM grille 'surround' of either color-matched or chrome plastic? It looks like the new grille replaces this 'grille surround' entirely, is that correct?

    Looks like a Macan to me…nice car. I’m still old school partial but love most cars.

    Enough for now
    looks great man!

    word of caution, I got the same grille and tried to install raptor lights and two of the four would not seat and one was loose because the hole was too big. just know that raptor lights may not workout with the taco garage grille

    Thanks for the tip. Was not planning to add Raptor lights but will be aware.

    Yes - good eyes. It’s a 2023 Macan GTS in Python Green. Posting a pic of the Macan here now, and of it’s matching little brother.

    Yes, it completely replaced the thin chrome ring around my SR5s grill.

    Hmmmm I got my grill lights from R4T and 2 of the 4 (think the inner 2?) snapped in my Taco Garage pro grill perfectly. The other 2 were slightly too large so I used an electric sander on both sides of the lights until they fit in perfect.
