It took me a few emails (one strongly worded) to get a response.

I just ordered one through Runnin 4 Tacos. I think it got here in about 3 days. Total was in the $160ish arena. Letters came installed and they're straight. They have a few color options too.

I know the 2020 is going to be different, but not sure why you'd spend $400+ on this mod. I honestly don't notice the gap on either side - around 1/4".
Looks like they're sold out currently, but I think I checked a few weeks ago and it didn't take long for them to get more.

Regarding these replica TRD grills from China, are they all coming from the same factory? I see there’s multiple eBay and Amazon sellers offering a range of pricing.

So which company has no dimples for the letters?
I want to run it plain.

This... Some pics show no dimples, then others show dimples on the same item. Would love to know who has just plain dimpleless replacement.

mine did the same emailed them back in january (about 6 months of use) and got a replacement about a week later. so far no issues with this newer set.
all they asked for was pictures of the burnt leds.

This one popped up on a search I ran. Has anyone tried it? 124.49 (no lights) and free shipping.

Reached out to Runnin4Tacos. They said they will no longer be getting any of these in.
Does anyone know of another kit available that comes with the letters pre installed like theirs?

Yeah, the OEM overlay comes w/ pre-installed letters.
Stop being cheap - pay for OEM. SMH...

I spent some time searching last week after I found out the same thing from Running4Tacos. I contacted them as well and got the same message, and also that they don't have plans to restock them either. I liked the installed letters as well. No others I found come with letters installed.
Found an options for 125 free shipping at MCAutoParts, just not sure of reputation. Another option at MadHornets.com for 170 with free shipping.

You have anyway of contact them to see about my issue that they have dodged me on for months? My grill lights that I ordered back in September have been bugging out for months now. They were quick to respond when I was looking to purchase stuff from them, but have not responded to numerous emails regarding their lights failing after just 9 months.

1. $114 for the 2014-2019 grille upper and garnish
2. Cheapie dremel: (Or a good one if you’re doing other jobs like bumper or fender liner trims)
3. Masking tape: to guide where to cut AND align the lettering in the dimples
4. Heat gun or blow dryer: to heat up the 3M strips and bumper where the garnish will adhere
5. Remove the 2020 grill bracket altogether: this IMO provides no structural support and the push tabs will suffice
6. Save hundreds of dollars.

Thanks. I installed one on my '15 and it wasn't too difficult so I suppose this is just one more step. Now waiting for free shipping...
