    Doesn’t look too bad but for the extra hundred bucks I’d get a genuine one that comes with specific hardware for the install. I doubt these guys include the proper spacers and wedge washers, atleast I didn’t see a mention of any hardware included in the listing. Could be wrong though…

    Also the oem one includes the snazzy trd letters already so no need to source those after the fact

    I've seen the taco ones, to be honest, I couldn't tell the difference between the real stuff and the fake.

    For sure. I tried the faux skid on my Tacoma but eventually went to the OEM and it was way better. I do believe one of the pictures of the faux tundra skid showed the hardware..

    For sure. The taco ones are all over Amazon and eBay. I only could find the tundra one on eBay

    But I prefer steel which is $345. Though I have the entire RCI plate package.

    Is that $345 for painted steel? I should probably just go on their website
