The knockoffs are here - OEM style Pro grill garnish

Spotted this on eBay today. I don't know anything about it, but the race to $40 (like the Tacoma garnishes) begins!

Hopefully the knockoff grille assembly isn’t too far behind.

 

Rad find, hopefully you’re right! Only thing holding me back on switching out my chrome grill is the dumb price

 

If we get a bunch of other members to "offer" only $50, maybe they'll get the hint to drop the cost. Think about it... they'll get 50+ offers for only $50. Not a cent more.

 

Are we allowed to talk about Ares and all his shenanigans with the grille garnish, or is that still a hot button topic around here?

 

The difference between this and the Ares thing is it's a straight up copy of the OE part presumably made at a factory that makes automotive parts, versus a random dude with a 3d printer.

 

Yep. Pretty exciting to see something that should actually bolt up without all the QA headaches that came with his.

 

I must have missed something. Search comes up with a thread about how awesome his bracket is.

 

The relocation bracket was great, but he had some issues with the 3D printed garnish for the 2019 Pro grilles. I don’t know the full story, but he basically asked to have his profile deleted and be shadowbanned because of some issues with liability or something. And then he tried coming back a couple times under pseudonyms and getting re-banned. It was entertaining for a couple months.
