Is anyone concerned about the fit of these? I ordered one and now seeing the side view am wondering if I'll even install it?

What do you see wrong with the fitment? Looks good to me.

You're correct, the picture I linked is not what was ordered, I think the grill looks good.

Well just got my refund from Garage Alpha late last night for grill. Alibaba sent me an email a few days ago saying my grill has been shipped so 10/14 can't come fast enough.

Mine is out for delivery today! Will post some detailed pics once I unbox it, hopefully I can try to install it today and take pics of that.

So I inboxed it and I stalled it last night, my first thought was this was it was really well made, everything looked good.

I made the mistake of using the old screws, It comes with these 4 gold screws, make sure you use these for the sides and not the old ones cause if you use the old ones it stretches out and the gold screws will be loose. However you can use the old screws for the tip of the grille.






As I went to install it you have to remove the metal bar that's on the old grille and that's where some fitment issues came in. I had to trim the metal that's circled in red to get it sit flush. Unfortunately after I cut it I didn't take any pictures cause I was frustrated with messing with it but once you cut it, the bar sits flush with the new grille.

Before and after pics, I have the raptor lights and still need to put them in, I just have to figure out how I'm going to wire it.







Overall it looks really good and the only fitment issues is the bottom corners stick out a tad (circled in red) but everything else fits really well.

Wow, that's way better fitment than I dared hope for. Wish they had the cheaper high speed shipping option when I ordered mine. Oh well.

Curious to see how it looks on a post facelift without a color match. Since I already have a black offroad bumper, what I might do is hit it with the same black spray paint I used on the bumper.

Looks great! Mines on order right now and should be here in a couple of weeks. As for wiring, I saw a video where someone was doing an install on similar lights and ran them across the hood and then down the strut into the engine bay.

@Ktang235 thanks for your descriptive posts! Now I’m all the more excited to get this, and we can confirm it comes with the “Toyota” center piece.

I’m curious if the 06-09 will need any/more trimming to make it fit, or transfer of that metal piece. I’ve steered away from doing a satoshi mod bc I tried to take my grille off and the bolts/studs holding the grille in place just break apart (thanks rust!).

Is the provided hardware just those bolts or did it come with new (cap)nuts to use as well? I’m at the point now that any hardware that comes off my rig is getting replaced with new hardware if possible.

It came with 4 screws to use on the metal piece but I just used the original ones, it did not come with the screw caps so I had to use the old ones as well.
