TRD Pro Grill - Taco Vinyl

Did you… I mean did you even click the link??

 

Lol I’ve been researching so many of these I wasn’t sure. It was actually your post that confused me though! Were you talking about inventory numbers when you mentioned the hood bulge wasn’t included?

 

Ah, no that was in reference to a link from mcautoparts selling a similar set up

https://mcautoparts.com/products/18-20-tundra-grill?variant=32438012444734

The one in this link does not have a bulge

 

Received a response today stating the shipment arrived and was sent out for paint.

 

This looks great! Is the color cement?

 

I also received the same response in my email today. Hopefully we’ll have them delivered soon.

 

Same.

 

Thanks, yes it is Cement.

 

Got a notice a few days ago that a shipping label was created for my order, and now it says it'll be delivered tomorrow! Exciting

 

Nice! Hopefully its worth the wait. Still waiting for another update on mine

 

Did you have your surround & budge painted or buy it already painted?
I need to de-chrome my cement soon!


Looking forward to reviews on this grill.

 

Just ordered the grille w/o surround from mcauto. Hopefully it works out well!

 

truck-accessories-guy sells pro grills for cheaper than mcauto i think. use BLACK10 for 10% off. i got the '14-'17 grill and it looks great

 

These Taco vinyl Guys are only like 15 minutes from my house. I may go down there tomorrow and see if I can get some intel for you boys. Maybe they have some samples inside their storefront.

 

I was checking their other Tundra stuff out. Anyone know anything about their DRL LED fog lights?

 

Well, hows it look??

 

Alright, here it is!



Overall I'm very pleased with it! The quality is great for a non-OEM product, and the paint job that Taco Vinyl did looks high grade and the color match is spot on.

Here's everything that came with it:



The only thing I did have to buy was some double sided 3M auto tape to attach the rubber stripping to the top of the hood bulge. A very minor inconvenience, but one I thought I should mention to save you an extra trip.

For full disclosure, there was one slight issue I came across, but I don't view it as Taco Vinyl's fault. It looks like the box was roughed up during transit, and subsequently one of the plastic clips was broken off when I unboxed it and removed the bubble wrap. I messaged Taco Vinyl about it this morning and they called me about 5 minutes later to see what the damage was and what they could do to make it right. They offered to send me a return shipping label and replace it if I wanted, but ultimately I decided to forgo the hassle and make do with it as is. I didn't come across any issues installing is, and it's definitely solidly attached. There's many other clips and 4 bolts holding the bumper on, so I don't foresee it being an issue whatsoever, but in an effort to post an honest review, I'd be remiss to not mention it. All that being said, I was very impressed by their customer service.

Ultimately I would have ZERO hesitation recommending this product to anyone looking for a much cheaper alternative to the overpriced OEM Pro Grill. Hope this was helpful to anyone else looking to grab one!

 

Nice review…thanks!

 

Very nice and appreciate the review! Looks awesome and the color match appears to be spot on.

 

Dang it, there sold out now.

 

I emailed them a couple of weeks ago. They said they will be getting more in a month or so

 

Have you had an issues with the TSS sensor?

 

Tried giving them my business, messaged them was told I’d be sent an invoice and then they went dark. Multiple emails without reply. Took my business to PaintedOemParts.com and they replied and called within minutes of my email.

 

What do you mean? It seems they take orders online and currently they’re all sold out

 

I've only driven about 25 miles since I installed it, but so far so good!

 

Thanks for sharing another resource. For the whole front end they’re quoting about $1300. I think if I just piece everything together on Sparks it’s the same stuff for only about $1000

 

I ordered the grille assembly from my local dealership…ordered yesterday morning, arrived today. The grille assembly was about $480. I ordered the bumper caps from PaintedOem for about $425.

 

That paint match on the cement is perfect. I’m sold!
Thanks

 

FYI I just went through the process to place an order while everything is sold out. The invoice came in at $750 total before taxes and shipping. At this price I'll just order from Sparks Parts.

Are they increasing the price? Still says $449 when I look, but all colors are sold out.
