grille i just put on from ebay

 

sparks parts has OEM replacement for every trim

 

thanks everyone !

 

The eBay grilles have a pretty attractive price point. How does the color matching look?

 

Yes, but they are so backordered its insane. I ordered the color match hood buldge, TRD pro grille and grill surround, dec 2. Still has not shipped.

 

What bar is this?

 

the brush guard?

 

Yes

 

Ordered the pro grille from my local dealer and had it on the truck installed four days later

 

damn. I tried that with the dealer in CO here, and they told me that they would not color match paint it and I would have to take it somewhere else. Sparks emailed back and send Toyota changed vendors and orders before jan 2025 were cancelled and reordered so now another 2-3 weeks.

 

sorry for the late reply. its a Aries pro series

 

Tread lightly with Sparks and any paint related items. I had a very bad experience with them, tons of run around, they switched up painters, etc. What I was quote was some 3 months maybe, when I actually received my items it was closer to 8 months. That and the paint match wasn't great (Cement/1H5) and now, it chips like nobody's business. Doesn't look like they did any prep, just sprayed over the Super White. Annoyed as hell, and will eventually likely have a local painter do some paint match work for me.

I've heard nothing but positive feedback about paintedoemparts.com (https://www.paintedoemparts.com/) though I can't say I have experience. If I had to do it all over again, I'd probably go with them and get the TSS garnish elsewhere as I don't think they stock/supply that.

Best of luck with Sparks. If you keep getting the run around, shoot me over a PM. I believe I ended up finding a way to call them as they never seem to respond to emails.

 

I appreciate that. Yea they emailed about 2 weeks ago and said they switched manufacturers and had to reorder my part and it should be there in 2-3 weeks. If I don’t have any update by next week. I am going to cancel the order. It’s been since dec 8.

 

After being told 2-3 weeks, 4 weeks ago… I had to cancel the order. So back to the drawing board. Might just order a grille and get the chrome wrapped. Because A it should not be this hard. B it should not be this expensive for some plastic switching.

 

I'd have been super happy with 4 weeks. I went on something like 8 months. On too of that, they took a Super White and doesn't look like they even prepped paint, just sprayed over it, and it chips super easy. I can't see any primer at all.

 

Brutal, think I am going to go to a local spot and see if they can wrap it and just order a new grille insert. Just want to get rid of the chrome!

 

Have you try fredandersontoyota out of NC? Maybe email them first and see if they can get you the grille you’re after.

 

Unfortunately Toyota doesn't sell just the insert and you have to buy the whole grille. Just a heads up.

 

Toyota may not, but did find this on High Country Offroad: https://highcountryoffroad.com/prod...le-2014-2021-toyota-tundra-aftermarket-grill/
