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

nice that you dont have any side gaps. i do see a gap between the grill and the garnish though. i have side gaps on mine but no warping on top. i did message the ebay seller and he refunded me some. ended up getting the grill and garnish for $120.
 
Sounds like I might have been better off buying through eBay instead of doing the group buy. Or I just have bad luck.

Ordered on cartrimhome web site on 12/13 and paid with PayPal. Got shipment notification on 12/16. No scans on the package since 12/16. Emailed the seller on 12/24 asking if the package was lost. They responded:

If there are no other factors, it is expected to be delivered this week.
We are urging logistics staff every day.​

Here it is 12/27 and still no scans since 12/16. I've emailed the seller again. Hopefully they have a better answer. Not sure what to do at this point.

got mine in like 5 business days. the quality is going to be a hit or miss. some garnish will fill up the bumper with no gaps, unfortunately mine has gaps on both sides. i left my black vinyl wrap on before installing the garnish to blend it in a bit better. will post some pictures tonight.

Keep us posted, Im in same situation - I bet my package is right next to yours...
Ive been refreshing this "tracker" multiples times through the day: China Post Tracking System
 
I ordered a set on the group buy. Showed up Dec. 22 via USPS. I never checked the shipping tracker. Just assumed it would eventually show up.

I have not opened the box. Still sitting exactly as it arrived on a shelf in the garage. Probably won't put it on until spring. Maybe not at all. Kind of an impulse buy. I should probably at least open the box to make sure it's got something in it. My valance is beat to shit, so I'm debating on whether to repaint it, fix the deep gauges and wrap it, or put a new one on. Also debating on whether to wrap/paint it silver to match the Trail colors or go with black.

That’s exactly why I used paypal...i can dispute it. I’m hopeful it will show up by next week, and with TRD PRO emblems thrown in for the delay (not sure exactly where the emblems will go, unless I want to go full poser).

There needs to be a knockoff lower valance made pronto so everyone can complete the front end look.

Corny as it may sound, i want to order this but want the lower valance as well and I don't want two different shades of black between the pieces. Does that make sense?

I prefer the silver on the TRD OR and I like the TRD Off Road badge color on the side of the car. I prefer the silver version of the TRD rims. Maybe it is just me but blacked out rims seem very played out. A few guys on here have bronze colored rims and those look amazing. Different strokes for different people though.
 
Am I correct in assuming that nobody has the option without the letter dimples? I prefer the rebadged look, but don’t want to have to deal with filling the holes.

Mine came in recently, haven't installed it yet due to cold temperatures. With no garage and warm temps months away does anyone have any idea of safe temperature to stick something like this on? I'm just concerned about the bond of the double-sided tape.
 
Got mine for $150 off eBay. The black mid place needs to be heated up before the install. It doesn’t fit right, there are gaps on each side so you need to push it in just right to keep the side gaps even. The middle top part will bend down on the top, Ive added styrofoam plates to even it out.

All in all, for the price it works, makes $400 for a piece of plastic bit out there.

Did you get off eBay? How much was shipping? All the eBay ones I see say they don’t ship to Hawaii

Don't really shop on ebay anymore so I just went with the group buy. One of the reasons was that they don't ship here bull shit like we not part of the US.

Still didn't get it yet. I'm assuming most stuff from China goes to the mainland first then here so it always takes a month. I'm used to it so no big deal.
