    I'm a new Tacoma owner and I was wondering if there was any particular way/method to "blacking out" the front Toyota emblem. Is there a way to take it off? What's the best to use when coloring it? Any tips and advice would be very helpful! Thanks!

    A few bolts are different.
    if you reach back in the grill there are two clips on what would be the top part of the back of the emblem that you squeeze down and it pops right off. sand it up a bit and use krylon fusion spray paint, its made to bond to plastic. let it dry and pop it back on and your finished
