Guys....thats the TTE replica grill.

Those pics of the grill installed on those GS are of the AUTHENTIC TTE grill.

This ebay seller was using my old pics of my car on his auctions with my TTE grill to pass off his replica as having excellent fitment. I emailed them to remove my pics...and they did.

So....as for the TTE replica grill....I have no idea about its fitment.

JP's are nice but they don't match the style of everyone's car. I think the TTE/TRD style is much a much sportier look and as much as I like the JP the TTE would probably look better on my ride. My 2 Cents.
