    Got a few badge ideas for my Tacoma, bought a 3D printer and whipped up a couple badges in AutoCad.

    Wondering if anyone would be interested in a few ideas I have:

    “TACO”
    “TACO OFF-ROAD”
    “TACO SPORT”
    “[image of taco]”
    “TEQ”
    “TEQ OFF-ROAD”
    “TEQ SPORT”

    Any other ideas?

    Not looking to steal any money from anyone but I’d love to see my work/badges on other Tacoma’s if anyone’s interested.

    Badges will be similar to the “TRD PRO” badge found on Tacoma TRD Pro’s

    Ex: gray TACO, red (in smaller font) OFF ROAD

    I don’t really have the financial means or experience to be a vendor I don’t think. I just enjoy drawing things in AutoCAD, and would prefer to see my work on other Tacoma’s than the financial benefit.

    If becoming a vendor gives me more credibility or significance I wouldn’t be opposed to it though.

    There is another guy who is doing this, but the wait list is so long. I think the guy doesn't have the operation to handle the demand.


    Some people weren't happy with what they got, so they asked to return the items. I asked the guy If could I buy a returned item, he seemed to think it was a good idea. I never heard from him again.


    Anyways, please to don't offer if you can't provide the goods.

    Not that I felt like any of my designs would take off, but if they could I feel like I would have the means to keep up with it all.

    However when it comes to buying parts from guys on here I think people have to understand that the guy making the part probably is working full time and has a family with other business to attend to.

    That being said, if you’re going to offer a good in exchange for cash you should most definitely be able to finish you projects in a timely manner.

    Edit: Luckily I also have a girlfriend who knows how to operate the 3D printer, and has expensive tastes in clothes, so she may be able to help with operation if my work ends up becoming popular.

    So I’ll post some concepts and see what y’all think of the files, then whip up a couple prototypes

    I would be interested in Taco Sport. Do you have size dimensions? I like your idea of making it look like the Pro badge, but all the other badges on my truck are blacked out, would that be something you could do, all black?

    Here is the other guy's thread. Seems like you will be using the same 3d-printing method that he does. Wouldn't hurt to have to some competition in this space. I wanted to buy one, but
