I was looking into a new (or used) front grille and ran across the fact that these four grilles more or less look the same (give or take an emblem and paint color). There is an obvious price difference, but I would like to know:

What is the fitment difference? (Does one fit better than the other? Do you have to modify anything? etc)

What are the quality differences? (Are they made of metal versus plastic? Do they hold up well? etc)

What are the cosmetic differences? (Does one look "cheap" in person? Does one have better angles or design to it? etc)



I did a seach on this and more or less came up empty handed. There were a million photos of them and plenty about whether or not people like them, but nothing that actually compared them against each other. Did I miss something? Any help of feedback would be greatly appreciated!

 

I don't know, but i'd like to know the price of them.

 

This was a quick online searh:

L-Sportline Grille $256

TTE Grille $369

DSR Grille $230

TRD Grille $319

These seems to be the general prices for buying a new one. I'm sure you could save a buck or two if you really put some effort into it or found a used one.

I just want to know what makes them different. Anyone?

 

1. LSportline- Havent had it but have heard many members saying the fit isnt the greatest.

2. TTE- OEM Toyota part (Europe) and has a great fit.

3. DSR- Had it also and the fitment on that grile was very good also.

4. TRD- Had this one too and like the TTE, OEM type fit. Fake carbon fiber but you can paint it if you want.

I would go with the TTE. After that TRD, DSR, then LSportline.

The LTuned grille has an excellent fit too and is pretty cheap.

 

I have heard only one thing about grills JP fits like a glove but isn't cheap at all $880.00

 

I like TTE the best ..I dont like the trim edge around the TRD one
Lsporline Fitment sucks ...DSR

TTE Looks best maybe one day ...when I get tired of my Modded Ltuned

 

I have the TRD and it fits like a glove.

 

Thanks to all for the feedback so far. Does anyone else have one of these grilles and how is the fitment on yours?

 

TRD is FAKE carbonfiber????

 

Yes, it is a faux carbon fiber. GS300Rich covered his in a silver real carbon fiber that looks outstanding. You can search his thread for that.
