I'd love one of those TRD style grills but I think we're SOL on that. 460s are already not as popular as the 470 yet in the aftermarket and then the group of pre-facelift vehicles is even smaller. But let me know how much it would take for you to part with that F Sport. Lol.

I would also prefer a TRD style grill over the f-sport to be honest, it's a pity we're such a small group at this point with pre-facelift models. Garage Alpha makes some cool ones for the 470 along with their prado conversion package, I actually sent them an email not too long ago to see if they had anything in the works.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is not fully completed yet - but URJ150, who has been selling TRD style grilles for the 470 owners on preorder has just mentioned to me upon reaching out that TRD style grilles are in development for 10-13 models on the gx460, and 14-19 models (top half) after this. Can't wait!! Here's their page: https://www.facebook.com/URJ150/

Garage Alpha does fulfillment of orders on URJ150's behalf, one and the same product being sold on that website: https://garagealpha.com/

@MrTorgue , guess I won't be needing that f-sport grill after all if this goes through!!

Except they will not ship that Prado build kit to the east coast. I tried to order it for my 13 and finally gave up and just ordered the 2021 GX update from overseas. Really wanted that Prado 150 look too.

Did they give you any particular reason why they refuse to ship ? I actually remember seeing a fully converted gx to prado for sale in NYC when I was looking for my 2012, looked amazing.

Just that they did not ship to SC. Kind of disappointed but love the look of the 2021 GX it has morphed into.

Do you have any doubts over the quality of the parts ? I've been seeing a bunch of people doing conversions lately, but considering that these kits are coming from china, i've been hesitant as to how they will hold up long term and the constant stress that is MA weather. Also, I prefer the look of the 10-13 on the back, haven't seen a kit for front end only yet.

Man that TRD style grille will look great on our 460’s.

No doubt on the quality - not sure about longevity of some of the components but the fit and finish on what I just installed is pretty close to OEM. The quality of the lighting is outstanding. I did my wife’s 17 with new grill, headlights and rear lights - they went on easily and fit is really good - not perfect but pretty close.

The 13, the new front and rear went on easy enough. The long process was figuring out the lighting as they sent me the wrong wiring harness as my 13 was a halogen car and not a HID car. Once I figured that out, it worked great.

No error codes on either vehicle.

From what I have can tell, the older lights are prone to error codes. Not sure how old this kit is for the Prado conversion so I’d be a bit worried about that. If the would have shipped that to me in SC, I’d have got it. Since they would not, I just bit the bullet and bought the parts for both of the GX in the garage and did the updates to them. Figured it would be cheaper to ship in one order vs two as that is a huge chunk.

The headlights are as better than my wife’ 17 HID factory lights and not quite as bright as my aftermarket 13 55W HID bulbs. They have a great light pattern for sure.

Default Update on the TRD

Urj 150 just teased the look for the trd style grill - says preorders go live soon, delivery in March. Opinions ? I think it looks stellar.

Default Trd grill / f sport grill

Well folks, been a while but I figured Id hop on and give you my so far pretty bad experience with my trd grill purchase.

Firstly, it arrived on time as they promised, but with 4 tabs broken - the packing was inadequate to say the least, just one bubble wrap kind off bag that the grill was in, no other protection.

Since then, ive heard nothing on reaching out to garage alpha and urj 150 about recieving a broken grill - been nearly 3 weeks now since I texted and emailed them directly. Growing slightly annoyed considering it was a 300 buck product.

hope those whove ordered here have had a better experience than I have - ill be sticking to my oem grill for now it looks like (unless someone is selling their f sport) 😅😅
