Looks like we are going to need someone looking out for us. I will talk to my contacts and see about pricing.

I would have to be another group buy type of deal. Where 50-100 are ordered at 1 time. Last I spoke he told me $180 each with a order of 100 upper grilles. But he said they inspect all parts as a company policy before they are given to the customer. So at least it would be a non issue on our end.

It almost looks like the mold release wasn't fully cleaned off. Have you tried using rubbing alcohol or some type of degreaser on it?

Most likely this is a injection part. When we do molds for Toyota we do not use mold release sprays.

If this is on most parts it looks like the mold may have had some type of texture or grain on it and the mold has gotten damaged. A repair was most likely made and either texture not fixed or Toyota approves of this minor flaw. Sometimes it’s imposible to match.

Yes I tried alcohol. Household cleaner and crazy clean. Nothing took it off. I think it's supposed to be a matte clear cost. The parts with even coating matches the bottom grille

Humm, is it rough to the touch, or would a few coats of paint cover it up?

Paint might cover it up. But if it's some type of demold I doubt it would stick. I will take a look I have mine with me I was going to ship it back today.

I got 3 more ordered in to my dealer today and all the new ones all look like this. It's definitely a mold issue and probably not going to change no matter how many are ordered. I struck out with 0 out of 6 grilles all looking the same. Rattle can it is.

I posted a couple updates. But production will start early next week. It will take a few weeks to get the molds made and get all the kinks worked out of the forming process. No firm dates yet.

Would be awesome if we got that group buy before the covers shipped. then we could combine our orders! I'm in as well!
