    I have an aftermarket grille and would like to put the Toyota grille emblem back where it used to be but since its plastic and not designed to be a flush mounted it would look very crappy.

    im looking for suggestions just wondering who knows of a similar Toyota emblem hopefully made of metal and have studs with backing nuts that will look better and be able to be fastened to a generic billet grille?

    I thought about the ones made to peel and stick onto trunk lids and such but I don't think it would hold for long with so little surface area that actually be touching on it.

    I don't HAVE TO have one but it would be nice to retain as much of the stock look as I can

    thanks for your help

    thanks, a bit pricy but looks worth it, I would just like to find something under $30

    I saw these but I think they would just peel off over time http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1PCS...e-Bumper-Trail-Boot-Trunk-13CM/907105385.html

    I guess im over thinking it and I can just put the stick on emblem onto a piece of flat aluminum and put screws through the plate to hold it then black out everything but the emblem.

    Hey brother Devil Horns will last you a lifetime since they're made of billet aluminum and if ever you get tired of them they hold a great resale value. PM me for a discount code only available to TW members if you're interested.

    Could you do the Toyo emblem in brass, or at least something that gives it a gold look?
