The Chinese Special TRD Grille... on the cheap!

[Asilomar]

Looks nice, waiting to see how it fits. Do they also have the lower bumper piece?

I paid 125 plus shipping. The guy said if we order 5 or more he can do the kit for 100 dollars plus shipping. Figured I would share it with you guys. Thanks for looking. The packaging is amazing, wood frame and all. I'll be installing it tomorrow

I was looking at that for last 4 days, now its $160, lol thanks. Also, they claim there will be a gap if it's not a TRD PRO, not sure if accurate. OP can you confirm the black part covers the whole middle grill pls.

 

[SilverTEP]

yeah, but it has dimples. I bought the TSO one specifically because it was flat, clean and fit well. Never wanted the letters, looks better with out them; IMO

TSO is made from a better material, it will last longer... but then again there is touch up paint to fix things up as they get ****ed by the sun.

 

[Ditchhanger]

I would be interested depending on the fitment

The Pro grill is no different from any other grill until they add the overlay (except the Limited, which has a chrome strip on that spot).

Sorry that this undercuts the TSO grill by quite a bit, as I think TSO was a great American-made stopgap until this arrived. It was a great service to the guys on this board to make it available, but I'll bet he saw this coming.

I don't think so. Even TSO admits that their vacuum-formed PET part is not as sturdy as injection molded ABS (like factory). He said this would really only be an issue if you were trying to remove it after installation (it will break). Injection molding parts only makes sense if you know you can sell hundreds or thousands of parts and can amortize the cost of the molds. TSO's solution was more boutique and still required the upper honeycomb section from Toyota.

It was only a matter of time before this got reverse-manufactured in China. Hell, I'd be super surprised if the original Toyota vendor for the official Pro grill pieces isn't Chinese too. They might even be from the same mold.
