TRD Pro Grille Finally!!!!

Just had my TRD Pro grille installed at the dealer because the TSS had to be reprogrammed to correctly operate, plus if something goes wrong with the TSS the dealer installed it so it covered under the manufacturer warranty. He told me that if I would have installed and messed something up that possibly Toyota would void my warranty. Any validity to that?

 

Just curious, what did they charge you to install it?

 

One hour of the labor rate. It was $100 but I have total piece of mind if something goes wrong.

 

Pro Grille looks soooooo much better than the Stock Grille.

 

$100 for a 5 minutes Stealership service!!!!!!?

 

Yea, but if something f@#*’s up I’m covered. So it’s piece of mind on my part plus I don’t have the computers to program the TSS

 

Program the TSS?? From reading other posts, it looks like you just unplug and plug it back in? I've ordered the pro grille with the garnish and planned to install them myself.

 

Good luck my friend, I hope it works out for you. Knowing my luck I would have destroyed something if I did it myself.

 

i'm wanting the same grill for mine, did you get it from ebay like everyone else or did you go a different route?...really trying to avoid the whole " its chinese and doesn't quite line up or is missing letters" debacle... looks great by the way

 

I got it from a Toyota dealership. The grille was $197 and the Garnish piece was $67. I paid $100 for the install (I know you can install yourself but I didn’t want to f@#& up my truck). The grille is a 2018 pro model. The part number is PT228-35180

 

Changes the whole look of the truck! Awesome!

 

cool, thanks for the info @jeffruba702

 

holy crap man you got a good deal, i just called where i bought my truck and they want $284.14 just for the grill without the Garnish

 

Soooo happy I had mine thrown in when I bought my Taco

 

5 min?

 

So easy, a few main bolts - the entire grill assembly pops off. Pop out the old, plug in the new, bolt up = done.

That’s a 2016-2017 grille, not a 2018 with TSS. This is what the 2018 factory (non Chinese) grill looks like

 

I put the garnish in to see what it looks like

 

Kudos for not buying knock off Chinese garbage. IMO knock off parts really ruin the car/truck scene. No one on here would be caught dead in fake Nikes but people dont seem to have an issue with car parts. Just dont get it.

Also for the guy saying 5min job.....good luck with that. Shop minimum I'm sure is 1hr so that's what your getting charged. Realistically probably took them 30min to get it done.
