Item returned

So item arrived....terrible packaging. I'm surprised it was not shattered on the inside. This unit came with the dimples, no Toyota letters and instead of having the adhesive tape already attached to the unit they tossed a roll of used tape in with the unit. Fitment was terrible and it felt like it would scratch easily. I may just pick up on from the dealer. Thanks for all the input.

How is the quality of the grill and cover? does it match the factory lower grill in color or does it have to be painted?

Thanks for following back up. That's unfortunate.

Fyi most companies don’t post the letters in order to avoid a cease and desist from Toyota. If you’re only advertising a black piece of plastic they can’t go after them. So with that in mind, I always assume most, but probably not all, of the pro grilles advertised without letters will come with them.

If you do plan on keeping it, CT does have just the letters for $10.

I have the original TSO Grill, and it came out really well. He has since updated it.

When I contacted them about the letters they admitted that someone forgot to add them in during shipping. At least the great thing about this company was there customer service. They processed me a refund as soon as I sent it back.

I order a grill from a company off of IG. No holes drilled just very light dimples. It was extremely difficult to get the lettering lineup, the letters did come with mounting tape already pre installed on the back. When I went to place the the black part onto the grill there was a half inch gap on both sides when centered. I contacted the company about this and was told that this is done so they would not get sued by Toyota. I mentioned that their website did not mentioned anything about a gap and stated “perfect fit and 100% guarantee” and I would like a refund. In turned they offered to refund the cost of part less a 20% restocking fee. The restocking fee was also not mentioned anywhere on there website. I advise them that they should update the website to reflect the restocking fee and the gap and got a stroke job response that “we’ll get to that and thanks for your feedback.” The site still hasn’t been updated.

Does anyone know if Grille - Toyota (PZ327-35053) fits 2014?

I found OEM for cheap at 2017-2020 Toyota 4Runner Grille PZ327-35053 | Toyota of Turnersville

The description says "Grille - Toyota (PZ327-35053)
2017-2020 Toyota 4Runner".

But I know a lot of stuff fits even it Toyota Dealer says it doesn't, like the trd pro skid plate (that I've already installed).

So does anyone have experience buying OEM from dealer? Are there any difference between 2014 and 2017 trd pro grills?

I believe they are only selling the upper grille. That's the part number. It doesn't include the TOYOTA plastic slab....So, it's not much of a deal. It's just the internet price from multiple sites.

[QUOTE=zw470;3326405]I don't have that specific grill, but Amazon grill was perfect with just a wee smidge of gap on either side.

How are the letters holding up ?

They're fine. The adhesive that holds the garnish itself on could use replaced but it isn't urgent.
