TRD Pro Grill - Taco Vinyl

If I’m not mistaken, MC Auto Parts has just the grill, and it’s around 300 for it.

 

They come and go on eBay based on availability or being taken down for showing the Toyota logo. They've been around for a while in different colors, i recall seeing them even when i bought my grille almost 2 years ago.

Edit: Here's a combo in white.

 

I'd be surprised if that comes with a garnish

 

Ah, cool. Thanks!

 

I purchased back on June 16. Got a message from the seller saying it will ship in 2 to 4 weeks, but potentially closer to 4 due to order volume. I plan to post some photos and a writeup once I have it in my possession. Need that chrome gone!

 

It comes with it, I specified that in my email to them. We’re talking about the glass cover, right? I had read some reviews that mentioned that that cover didn’t always look great. In their response the gal mentioned they changed how they made that part, the old model didn’t work as well. The new one, she claims, looks like OEM

 

here’s the link:

if you look at the FAQs, it mentions the pieces it comes with. Centerpiece (grill insert), garnish plate, garnish cover, and TOYOTA letters, all at 59% off, about $265

 

That's what i thought!

 

Ok fine this video just sold me, going to order the center piece

 

bought one, let's see what happens!
Decided to pull the trigger since it's painted already. With the others you'd have to spend extra $$ to get it painted. It made sense to order from taco vinyl.
Let's see! can't wait for no more chrome

 

Oh man, I can't wait to see it when you get it. I may pull the trigger too!

 

Following. I am really interested to see how this turns out. I almost bought this setup but when you can get the pre 2018 TRD pro setup for the same money already painted from Toyota I had a hard time spending that much on aftermarket pieces with unknown quality and fitment. Also now to find out it takes a month to get when you can get from Toyota in a few days. I was hoping they would do a group buy at a greatly reduced price to get their foot in the door with the Tundra community. Then if the quality and fitment is good then they could justify charging what they charge. Guess we'll see.

 

Has anybody had a chance to take a swing at these yet?

 

they are showing out of stock now, pre order is available

 

This looks like it’s gloss black only and doesn’t come with a hood bulge

 

Yes they’re out of stock according to the site, but looking at it yesterday they mention this week should be when they get more stock. I’d call them, email them, whatever. They respond quickly.

As for hood bulge, yea you need to find that somewhere. It’s around 265 for the grill and garnish, or 295 for that plus the lower surround, I believe painted black. Personally I think this is really a great option for just the centerpiece and garnish. Not sure if the paint match on the surround is good.

 

I think that those who ordered were told about 4 weeks for painting, so I am guessing they have not received them yet.

 

I just couldn't justify spending over $500 for aftermarket pieces with unknown quality probably made overseas. I bought the older TRD pro grille with matching bulge from my local dealer and had next day for $515. Both parts are made in USA. Had installed in 15min. Happy with my decision.

 

Decided to pull the trigger last week of June. Seller reached out today to let me know it should ship out by end of next week. Will update with photos once available.

 

I decided to take a gamble as well and ordered one two weeks ago. I haven't gotten any updates but hoping its in the same shipment.

 

Man really want to see a picture of one installed and what their take is of it. Mine shows pre-order when I did mine a few weeks back.

 

I really want to try one of these

 

Same but they’re all sold out!

 

Will this work for my 2020 SR5???

 

All sold out but no one has ever received one.

Is this place legit?

 

Reading back through, sounds like they were upfront about the slow shipping times. Looks like they order from China, paint them their selves, and send out.

 

Yep, they said up front it would be slow. I ordered mine on 6/16. On 7/12 I received a message apologizing for the delay. They said they were doing everything they could but their hands were tied while they waited for the parts to clear customs.

On 7/26 I received this message: "The grilles just landed in the US on friday and we should have them by the end of next week. Then itll be another week or so for paint and shipping to you." So based on that they should ship any day now.

I'll keep you all updated when it ships and when I receive it.

 

I've been slowly trying to figure out how to get rid of all that chrome up front. This seems like a great product. But then I still have to find the hood bulge, right? Is OEM the only place for that still?

 

This one is supposed to come with the hood bulge and the sensor cover.

 

Except no one knows the quality yet, as no one has yet to received one.
