    TRD emblem

    As we all know, TRD stands for Toyota Racing Development and it was established as a line of higher performance vehicles and parts in the line of Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles which range from commercial to professional racing series.TRD is responsible for improving the performance of commercial vehicles as well as supporting Toyota's racing campaign around the world.


    TEQ emblem:
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    TEQ emblem was inspired by the famous original Toyota logo written in Katakana, a type of japanese writing. in 1933 Kiichiro Toyoda founded Toyoda Motor Co. which started as a side project inside Toyoda Automatic Loom Works. With the success of it's first production vehicle (model AA) Toyoda Motor Company sets off to become a japanese car manufacturer with hopes to be at the level of American and European car makers.

    In September 1936 Toyoda Motor company ran a public competition to design a new logo for the company, the end result was a modified version of japanese writing spelling the word Toyota substituting "da" for "ta" for a few reasons:

    1) Toyoda (トヨダ) was changed to Toyota (トヨタ) because it took eight brush strokes instead of ten.
    2) Toyota (トヨタ) can be written by using 8 brush strokes, lucky number in Japanese culture.
    3) Toyota has a much clear sound than Toyoda

    Both of these emblems can be installed on the front grille of Toyota vehicles with the use of a mid bracket. It can also be used as a hitch cover with a hitch bracket or as a stand alone emblem in an after market grille, double sided tape or even hang it on your office wall.

    Punisher emblem is $45 for the large one and $42 for the small one.
    Does your grille have an existing Toyota emblem?
    If so you can purchase a mid bracket for installation, the mid bracket will fasten onto your existing grille and the Punisher emblem will fasten onto the mid bracket.

    I recommend the small Model T brother, the large one is made for a better fit on Tundras and Tacomas
    You can find the Small Model T as well as a hitch bracket at Diazfabrication.com
    The website will give you a price including shipping.

    I'm located in Hawthorne, work in Redondo Beach
    You'll be replacing your factory Toyota emblem with the punisher emblem but you'll need the mid bracket as well.
    The mid bracket will have the same configuration as your 2016 Tacoma grille
    It is fastened with #10-32 screws.

    Can what be attached?
    What are you talking about?
    All emblems are designed to be fastened using #10-32 screws so as long as the screw fits on the mesh grille you should be able to install any emblem.
    So far I haven't heard of someone not being able to attach an emblem to a mesh grille.
