Toyota Parts sites...

I'm assuming they're legit from a bit of google'n I've done.

Thing is, I'm hunting for the MGM paint matched grille and these sites just list a basic color like "white/gray/bronze etc."

Is that normal? You'd think it being a Toyo parts place they'd have the actual color names.

I've found one, near me too actually in Lakeland FL - I'm just kinda hesitant to pull the trigger because the color says "gray"

Also heard with these sites there's no way to tell if stuffs actually in stock, people generally get an email after purchase saying, "tough shit, out of stock!" to that effect.



Anyone had good experiences with these sites? If not, better place to find a MGM grille that doesn't cost a mortgage payment?

I'm thoroughly addicted to this truck since I bought it. This must be what crack is like.
I want so many things done... but this... grille... is like the holy of holies to me right now


(an example of one of these sites)

 

Not sure but most paint matched parts (grills, bumper covers, door handles, mirrors, etc) are sold bare and have to be painted to match the truck.

 

Like Dm93 says, body color parts often requires painting. I bought a genuine driver's side mirror cover and had to have it painted. An aftermarket knock-off (pre-painted) off e-bay would have been half the cost.

However, if you google the part number, it appears the B1 at the end means it's the correct "1G3 MGM." Look up the part number without the B1 and you will find other colors available.

Part Number 53100-04481-B1
Supersessions 53100-04480-B1
COLOR NUMBER 1G3
COLOR NAME GRAY ME.

 

this site from Lakeland FL, I use to get part numbers. I like the diagrams all have the old way the Toyota website used to work. I've never ordered from them thou. I've found an official Toyota Site that is local to me that gives the same discounts. 28% off is about the highest discount I've found.

 

Pro tip, thx. Thats precisely what I wasn't doing correctly
