You sir were 100% correct. I pulled it off and realigned the fit, starting with the top lip and notches first. It fits perfectly. Thanks for the advice!

Been on the fence a long time regarding this mod. Finally did it. Fits just fine. I used real 3m tape not China 3m. Real TRD might be better but not $475 better!

Thanks for this thread, gang. Ordered mine the other day and will be installing it next week. Ya’ll saved me about $500. I ought to have my TRD Pro clone look for less than $1,000 in parts. Going to grab some new more aggressive looking tires (Duratracs most likely) and it’ll be complete. Well as complete as I’m making it... not going to worry about the hood scoop.

got my install completed. Since the package didn't ship with anything to install the smoke lights in the grill, I used 6/32 machine bolts. Perfect fit and they self-threaded without any problems. I did screw up putting the first "O" on, so I had to scrape the old tape off and put new tape on. Looks better now, LOL.

I still need to get a permanent wiring solution to the marker lights. Might have time to do that this weekend. In the meantime, here it is:

Installed. Installation was easy peasy... about 30 minutes. Everything lined up properly. Grill had slight depressions and letters had slight matching protrusions so no lining up, tape or guesswork. Got it through EBay but wish I had seen the CT post first - looks identical to the one I got and $24 cheaper. Happy with it.

I wasnt interested in this mod, but your participation with our members here has me shopping on the site.

I need a cover for the piece on the passenger side over the glove box...

Keep up the great work.

Can this grill be ordered without the dimples and letters?

If not, what are people using to glue the letters on? I want to use the best product so that they don't fall off. Thanks

The grill only comes with the dimples and letters. The letters come with 3M type backing. Once they are on, it’s difficult to remove them. Trust me, they won’t just fall off.

Thanks for the info. I thought that I saw someone else used an epoxy.

Ah, yes some are applying extra backings/epoxies, but I'm unsure why. I guess they just want that reassurance. I've had my grill for almost 2 years, it's been through numerous pressure washes and stress testing by my kids, and they haven't budged with just the tape.

Also for peace of mind, you can snag an extra set of just the letters:

Decided to piggy-back the headlight fuse and that seems to work fine, so they come on with the headlights..would still prefer to have them come on with the parking/running lights, any other option in the underhood fuse box to do that?
