Sorry guys here they are:
Valance Panel, Front TRD Pro - 4Runner (2014+) - Matte Black - Self modification needed for SR5 models - Toyota (53901-35250) | TRDShop.com
Rear
Rear Bumper Cover, Lower TRD Pro - 4Runner (2014+) - Toyota (52169-35120) | TRDShop.com
Kind of tricky to find. You have to put in 2018 off road premium to get both the front and rear bumper. 2019 only brings up the rear and pro brings up nothing.
Although I put the 2 valances into the cart to see shipping and it’s $75 to ship to PA. Total of about $415. Too steep for me. So I think I’ll wait and see if cartrimhome makes them. I know it will be cheaper than that. Maybe we should all begin emailing them to express our interest in them selling the valances to make it happen?

Oh ok, sorry for the confusion. If you scroll up a bit someone emailed cartrimhome to see if they will begin selling the valances and they said they plan on it. So we’re hoping.
Hey 91324. You seem to have some sway with the folks at cartrimhome. Perhaps you could put a word in with them to begin selling the pro valances?

Got it I dind't read through everything.
I would be interested as well since ******* can't park and scratched my rear one twice already.

My plan is to just dip them but a replacment would obviously be the best and most permanent option.

As you mentioned, someone on here (not me) already reached out to them about the valences. I did reconfirm last night that they may consider this in the very near future. I've been working with them on another product which I think a lot of you will be purchasing once complete. I won't reveal what that is until they finish fixing something on it and I get it installed, but I think it'll be another success. :cheer2:
I've also been getting asked to repost my link to the grill since it's been pushed further back in the thread, so here it is again:

received my grill. installed. not thrilled with the fit. There is clearly a gap on both sides and noticeable from standing several feet away. I removed it and put additional 3M tape on the edges to try and pull it closer, but the gap remains.
What's confusing is how they can make the top grill replacement spot on, yet miscalculate the size and angle of the large plastic piece. #chinadisappointsonceagain

This is what keeps me from rolling the dice on one. I don't see why they can't just make it a little bigger and get rid of the gap.

It’s a small 3mm gap - what would you expect for a $125 grill? You can always spend $600 for the OEM Pro replica which also comes from China.
Take it off and sell if it it bothers you. Someone will surely grab it.

I get it, but I just would think that one of the China mfg's would make one just that much bigger to fill the gap. I'll probably end up ordering one either way.

I'd expect them to correct it for future production. how difficult is that!?op2:
My personal opinion:
1) They've sold hundreds of these grills as is
2) They clearly document on the site there will be a gap
3) The OEM Pro Replica also contains a gap
4) I suspect < 1% of people complain about said gap
When they're rolling in the dough on these things, why invest time and money to fix something so small that continues to sell like hotcakes? It's made in China - they care about quantity, not quality. Even then, the quality on the grills is above my expectations and many others for such a low price.

A friend and I made a video of the cheap chinese grille vs my OEM Pro grille. A little slow on the edit but he put it together and here is the video!

I believe the gap varies in size by a mm or two depending on whether it’s a Trail / Off Road or an SR5. So they would have to make various sizes. For the price point compared to the OEM it is unbeatable. Also, has anyone ever inspected a Pro’s grille to see if there is a gap stock?
