    This little gem was born while tailgating one day. I've been making custom emblems for a few years so I figured I'd try something with a little bit of function!

    These bottle opener emblems are a replacement for the stock emblem and can be powdercoated to match team colors. The standard emblem comes in gloss black with a silver bottle opener like the one below. These can be made to fit any Toyota truck.

    Please pardon the Ford! I'm waiting to get my photos back from the Tundra shoot.

    These run 40 + Shipping (10 anywhere in the states). Add 5 if you want the bottle opener itself powdercoated.

    I will be running these in batches, so hit me up to get on the list!

    I could do the plate for 28 bucks plus shipping. I'll just need the hole pattern on the Yeti opener so it will be ready for mounting.

    That's a cool idea. How strong are they? Can you actually open bottles without breaking the grill?

    You bed you can! The backplate is made of 10 gauge carbon steel which makes for a solid mounting surface and it evenly distributes any force that is needed to open the bottle. It doesn't even feel like there is any strain on the grill. Lets just say I've put it through the test plenty of times! Here are a couple of ford openers I've shipped out. Custom colors available :)

    I've done it on both the Tundra and my buddies' Taco. I didn't realize how little force it takes to open a beer bottle. Any of the grilles I've seen will hold up just fine.
