    Bump. Looking for a new garnish (that both works and also does not cost $300) after the current one that I have didn't work out.

    I bought one very similar to the linked garnish. Worked fine for a little over a year (no codes or PCS errors) but then delaminated.

    I went back to my Ares Customs 3D printed one, but that is no longer available and kind of looks more dark gray than black after getting blasted by sun.

    I've had this one for a month... Not only does it work intermittently at best as far as the TSS is concerned, but it also is doing the exact same thing.

    Maybe @RainMan_PNW can do some 3D modeling magic based off his OEM one and pass along an STL file?

    I know where you live, dammit!

    So let's say I could get one made... where the face doesn't fall off, it blends better with a TRD Pro grille, and it actually works with the TSS sensor. Think there would be a market in the $60-$70 range?

    :rofl:

    I would say that, as long as the front doesn't fall off, $70 is a good price point for something like that.

    I would buy one lol the one I bought off eBay for $45 and it worked for about a month and then started erroring. I thought about just buying the AJT relocation bracket to see if moving it back to its original location higher up would fix the issue.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    I wouldn’t even know where to start.
    Mine works just fine.
