Hey everyone-

I've been missing one of the little false grills on the driver side of my bumper for months now (I don't know if it fell out somehow, or if some jackass popped it out and stole it.) Does anyone know where I can get one of these? I've looked around, and haven't had any luck.

Granted, I may just put fogs in those two little openings eventually, but I'm guessing a replacement false grill should be pretty cheap, so in the meantime, my car can look normal :lol:

POP THE OTHER ONE OUT, and if your other than black, trim the tabs and it will look good.

That isn't a bad idea, however I'm assuming that the VRD fogs (the ones I'm interested in getting eventually) need those tabs? I'd be concerned that if I trimmed them off, the fogs wouldn't be able to be secured in.

I was just hoping to find a place where I could get one of the fake grills for cheap, just to tide me over for now :)

Yes, the VRD fogs need those.

I'm pondering whether or not to keep my false grilles or sell 'em off... they're off the car right now cuz I have the VRDs

take them out, it supplies more air to the stock twin turbo's

I found out that Trdsparks sells them under their OEM parts list, they're $8 something, plus whatever shipping they need to charge. Not too bad :icon_yes:

you can always say screw it and do some DIY and make it look like this for cheap. there are grilles there just hard to see. i have those in on my tC in those spots as well.

check a local dealer it may be cheaper then TRDsparks after shipping.

Yeah, I've thought about doing that as well.
