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

vdo, thanks for the pic! I have to put off install on my Limited for a while due to home projects taking precedence, but seeing your pic makes me want to install now!
 
Here's a pic of mine. Not the best angle, but the only one I have ready. Did some minor trimming and installed with some zipties. Fits pretty good.

That looks really good. I was thinking of adding the trim piece and then blacking out the center section of the chrome grill. I may order one of these now.
 
UPDATE
Ordered grille last Tuesday (25th) and so far only one email from the vendor saying something was out of stock and would ship in the next day or so after I had requested an update 3 days later after no confirmation. That was on the 28th.

As of today, no confirmation email with an order number. Paypal has taken the money out of my account for the Grille and the expedited shipping. Two emails to the vendor have not been replied to... not looking good
 


To be clear, this is NOT the same grill as CarTrim, so be careful. There are numerous reports, probably in this thread, that sellers on Amazon and eBay who sell similar TRD Pro Replica grills are crappy quality. So you're also aware, CarTrim has the non LED version of the grill for $125 + free shipping.

I've asked you a few times via DM for an order number or SOMETHING from CarTrim. Without that, I can't follow up with CarTrim to see what the issue is. Did you check your spam/junk folder? If you really didn't get anything back from CarTrim when you placed the order, DM me your name/shipping address and I'll see if they can dig up the order info based on that.

Like I mentioned in the DM, nothing other than the Paypal receipt... very strange. I have checked my spam too, nothing in there. I have emailed my email hosting provider to do a spam check for Cartrimhome to see if it was blocked at their level, but I already have received one email from the vendor already so I can't see why... just waiting on their call back. I'll DM you my address so maybe you can see it in the system... Thanks
 
UPDATE #2

So just heard back from my email provider, no emails from CarTrimHome were received - however there were a couple from a generic odd gmail account that had that text in it matching "CarTrim" so they are pushing them to me in the 30min!

If anyone still has their order confirmation, did it come from a CarTrim or CarTrimHome domain? or did it come from an odd individual name? I am thinking the emails now may have been possibly blocked due to the senders email address...

Their e-mail does come with Chinese letters in it so your provider could of very well blocked them.

The guy there I found to be pretty responsive when mine was missing.
 
UPDATE

Yes, it turns out the email were blocked. In the end I received a shipping confirmation fairly close to when was promised - just that it was blocked because it came from a random gmail account with foreign characters...

So for anyone with heightened security on their email, this may cause issues as I received communication from three completely separate addresses none of them at all related to CarTrim domain.
 
No. I swapped out my Limited front bumper with a trail front bumper and added the TRD Pro "garnish" from cartrim. :confused:

lol... the Trail bumper is no different than the SR5. And since you dont have the hood scoop, looks like you have an SR5-PRO-Limited.

To clear the air, this was NOT on CarTrim this time. The item shipped July 1 and a delivery attempt was made today, July 3, but was not successful. Looks like you need to go to the post office and get it. I DMed you the tracking number.
