    Yes!!! I was able to get a factory tundra 4x4 badge and black tacoma badges straight from the tundra/tacoma manufacturing plant here in SA.

    So I took off all the chrome badges and spray painted the new ones flat black. :cool:

    Ha it's so much easier putting on brand new badges. I looked at the other debadging threads for the great "how to". Check it out. My first real mod...

    I posted this pic up before...but this time just for comparison..
    [​IMG]

    after I took off badge...nastyness...
    [​IMG]

    New badges...
    The one in the middle is not painted...its just straight from the factory...the one below and above it painted flat black "rustoleom flat black"

    After putting them on...

    I like it!!
    It reminds me sometime back some guy told me, "Is your truck 4x4?"...I said .."Yes, it is why?"
    Well it does not say 4x4...he said. I told him that "It's on the mudflaps"...but I think I will do the 4x4 sign on the tailgate!!:rolleyes:;):D

    not at all, I used the blow dryer to heat up the adhesive on them, and used fishing ling in a saw like motion behind it from one side to the other. then I found out I really didn't need the blow dryer for it to really work, it just went a wee bit slower.

    Can you believe, my sister works at the toyota tundra/tacoma manufacturing plant here in SA and one of her co-workers DID NOT know that they made 4x4 tacomas.:facepalm::smack: How do you work there and NOT know that? :confused:

    I really like the contrast of the white "4x4" on the mud flaps and the black one on the tail gate.
