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

So is the issue with the garnesh or the trdpro overlay grill or both? I looked at my SR5P today and noticed the safety sensor would make it difficult to get the TRDPRO cover over it.

Both the upper grille and the garnish are redesigned for 2020. The upper grille has new mounting locations for the upper bracket, and the garnish is molded to fit around the TSS sensor.

Both. The cover would have to be cut to fit around the sensor(minor, I was already willing to do that), but the grille insert is completely different. Tabs are in different locations, making a huge space difference where the screws would go; the bracket that holds the upper grille support to the top of the radiator is different too so it would not fit onto the 2019 grille insert. I mean, if one had the time, patience and tools I’m sure it would be doable to make it fit, but I lack at least two of the three... lol
 
Is there even oem 2020 upper grill mesh currently available? At my local dealer, they had this xp predator 20 model, and front grill they just left it as normal SR's with just black out emblem, even chrome accent on upper grill was left alone. I was under impression that all predator package models suppose to get pro front grill.

I wish. They added the skid plate and black exhaust tip to the XP predator package, but omitted the TRD pro grille for 2020. I even asked my sales rep to do some digging and to try to get me the OEM TRD grille on it at the port, and up until now he says that he can’t find the OEM TRD grille for 2020!

Yep, the dealership in Leesburg and Orlando claimed as well it’s not in the system yet - which means they can’t order it
 
Well, just went to the post office and picked mine up. It unfortunately has one of the ends broken off. Anyone know who or how to get ahold of these guys about this?

Thanks guys. I did end up emailing them the next day and got a quick response. He said he was shipping on out to me. Tracking showed that it left the facility on the 9th. Hoping to see it soon. I want to tackle it, the factory LED fog light install and front lower valance install all at once lol.
 
I just ordered today. Hope to get it by this weekend [emoji2957]. I was told it actually ships out for CA [emoji2957]

You'll love it! I'd recommend letting the grill sit out in the sun for a few hours before installing to help it warm up. Depending on inventory at the time, yes, they do have some grills ready to go in the states, otherwise it'll come directly from China anywhere between 5-11 days (depends on Customs). Shoot me a DM if you have any questions.

Mine came from CA in just a couple days to WA. However the other parts are coming from China it looks like and still waiting on those, including the black Toyota lettering.
 
I got mine from China in 7 days from order to my door. But that was awhile ago. I recently ordered another item from them but it took 20 days to get here. It’s the luck of the draw with customs.
And yes the recommendation of heating up the garnish in the sun or with a heat gun is the way to go. I also heated the cross member, the tape on the garnish, and the tape on the letters before install. Got the tape nice and tacky.
 
Here is my tip for getting the letters straight:

Put them on straight, using painters tape to line them up. Attach them super lightly.

Then take a picture with your phone. You can see how straight the letters are better on your phone and you will see irregularities you don’t notice just by looking at it. At least I did. Then adjust the letters to perfection. Mine came out darn good and I am really picky.

Just curious how everyones grill and letters are holding up? Is the tape that comes with it really good, or shouls it be changed out with better tape? Especially with temperature swings. In colorado it gets to like -10 sometimes in the winter, and in the summer can get >100.

Anyone have issues with the grill or letters coming loose? Is the tape that comes on it pretty high quality?

Ordered mine on black friday and just trying to make sure i have everything ready for proper install.
