New TRD Style Grille
Garage Alpha has been "previewing" a new TRD style gille to some folks. Their listing is here: Toyota 4Runner [4th Gen - Facelift] TRD Style Grille - PRE-ORDER – Garage Alpha
Pretty soon after that, SRQ started selling the exact same grille: 03-05 4th Gen TRD 4Runner Grille | SRQ Fabrications (Garage Alpha also has the 03-05 style, but SRQ, is "working on" the post facelift design) When two totally different manufacturers came out with something so close together, some of the folks on the Facebook group got suspicious. Sure enough, they are available directly from the manufacturer on Alibaba: 2006-2009 Auto Parts New Style Front Grille Fit For Toyota 4runner - Buy 2006 4runner Grille,2009 4runner Front Grile,2006 Front Grille For 4runner Product on Alibaba.com Apparently if you ask for photos, they send you a picture of the logo in the middle. Anyway, I have a feeling we will be seeing a lot of these pop up in the next few months. Ordered direct through Alibaba its 125$, which is a pretty great deal. Not quite as classy looking as a good Satoshi mod, but a lot cheaper. |
Great Info and research

I'm glad I love my plasti-dipped v8 badge grill or I'd be mad that I'm broke right now. These look awesome!

Looks legit.. based on timing and everything the other companies charging more than 100 more for the same thing... id say this is a go

I'm betting these start showing up on eBay in the next 3 months for 150-200 through Chinese direct sellers. SRQ and GarageAlpha are going to have to bring more to the table to get people to buy from them instead. Heck, if someone on the forum has an empty garage and wants to run a group buy, I'd be willing to bet they could make a quick buck. |
I wonder how long they'll be available directly from the manufacturer? With a little painting it'll look even nicer.
I ordered the 03-05 version, without lights. |

Thanks so much for this post! Ordered! I was really wanting to get a TRD style grille but all the options seemed so expensive for an aesthetic mod. First Alibaba order actually.

Garage Alpha or SRQ is honestly probably a little pissed they are selling these to other people. They've been circulating "samples" on IG and the like for a bit. I don't know if they developed it though. |
