    You can try messaging them thru their webpage. They are very responsive. I had a few questions for them about the install and I messaged them and they replied back to me within a few hours.

    Mine were in a tiny bag, taped to one of the bags that the letters came in. I almost thought I didn't get them either till I looked at the pile of "trash" closely.

    All's well, my grill shipped yesterday. Weirdly, I received my "customized" letters today separately (mounting clips included....whew). Gave me something to do before the grill gets here.....I prepped the letters for install:

    Letters arrived yesterday, grille today as well as mounting hardware separately. I work in manufacturing and deal with injection molded products and I can confirm these are well made. Although I still need to order vinyl letter decals, I was really excited to have everything together and ready to be installed....then the reality I still don't have a Tacoma set in. Still driving grandmas car.
    Maybe I can make the grille fit!!:kona:

    i don't know man, i was printing t-shirts on the domain toyotaoffroadgear.com and they came after me about a month ago. i had to shut it down. they said I couldn't use the toyota name or logo.

    i've been selling grilles for the third gen with the toyota logo on them and they haven't found that site yet.

    this seems a little too sketch since it looks damn near identical to the original

    It really depends. I think they avoided a big issue by not having the letters standard. They also changed up the mounting brackets but, yes, this is very close and you never know.

    well i drilled two holes in the grill and the emblem had clip things for mounting holes, so the glue is extra basically. i cut out the center mounting post because it wasn't in line with the others

    Thanks. Looks great compared to the replica letters. Those are a little too bold and look off.

    I think we may have a winner!

    I painted my faux letters and they look good, but as mentioned, the letters are a little off on the faux grille (the O's are wider than other letters), and painting them was a bit of a pain. For $40 bucks or so, this has a factory look, and almost a "peel and stick" type option.

    Looks damn good.

    Would love to see what an old FJ40 grille emblem looked like on there!

    Maybe one of these color matched for quicksand on the tailgate as well....
