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

Anyone try this version on a Limited?[/QUOTE

I got mine for the limited. I fit it today and the OEM chrome crossbar seems slimmer than that on the SR5. I will have to do some sort of modification to make it snug and tight. The top grille piece mounted perfectly though.
 
Got mine today, ordered from Ebay on the 15th. I put the letters on already but can’t do anymore until the rain stops here. Quality seems very good, not bad for $136 shipped from China.

Which seller did you use?

And has anybody found a knockoff black lower valance to complete the look?
 
yeah the cheapest on ebay i can find is like $150ish. And the website that was doing the groupbuy is $125 but shipping is over $50. they have a coupon spot, but cant seem to find one.

I would love to see some pics of what it looks like. Trying to change my limited up a little...trying to decide which route I would like to pursue
 
Can someone private message me a link to a seller you were satisfied with? Has everyone been satisfied so far with what they’ve seen?

I posted the link few pages back but here you go:

I believe i was the 100th buyer about 2 weeks ago or so...and it was shipped from China. Received it fast considering that. I think it took about little over a week. Now looks like they have sold 209 as of today Dec 21, 2018. Quality is great! The letters may not be has pointy as OEM but hard to tell i think. Check the comparison someone posted few pages ago.! Also looks like they have it in stock in thwir US warehouse (Chino, California it looks like).

I didn’t get the extra double sided tape like one guy did here but i ordered 3M double sided tapes just as a extra peace of mind over the already double sided tape on it.

Going to install on Sunday and I’m going to get the Grille center piece and front and rear valance on my Trail 4Runner professionally painted to Semi Gloss Black. So they all match plus extra protection from any fade on the center grille/garnish.

Does that come with the "TOYOTA" it's not in the pics?

Yes it does but doesn’t hurt to ask them. I did to many sellers.
They don’t post pics of TOYOTA letters to avoid any “issues”. I have seen some post incomplete letters Lol. Anyway got mine & all checks out.
 
Here is mine. Delivered yesterday and I just put it on at work. They 2 Os are different and are marked with different color tape on the back. Also mine came with extra tape as well

do the letters have pegs that fit into the small holes to align them perfectly?

Wonder how their double sided tape will hold up in cold weather conditions etc.
 
Yes they have indents for the letters to sit in. I installed mine Thursday and so far it's been holding up good, also just drove from. NC to Georgia 400+miles I was wondering if I was going to arrive with missing letters but they are thereI'm happy with the purchase.

Once the tape is on for a few days it will be hard to take off. Body side moldings are put on the same way on vehicles

Thanks! good to know that the letters can be lined up easily and stay on.

Yes, but there are different grades of 2sided tape. Even within 3M alone some are more permanent than others
