1st Gen Chrome TOYOTA Emblem

I have been trying to find the chrome TOYOTA badge (PT211-TT980) for my 2002 Taco. There are several on-line places that have them but the cheapest I can find costs $250.00 for just one which is not worth it.



So a friend of mine is looking to see what it would take to make some of them using his commercial 3D printer. He estimates he could probably sell them for about $75 each if done in small batches. In the mean time I will keep searching on-line for one of these emblems at a reasonable price.

 

Dang, turning out to be a rare one huh just like the SR5 badge?

Those were up on ebay for roughly $200-300 on average.

 

I don't need the SR5 badge but if he can make the TOYOTA badge he can also make the SR5 one.

Another option is to buy the PreRunner SR5 badge for about $50.00 then just cut the SR5 part off and use it.


Gives you a spare PreRunner Badge.

 

Oh I don't need any, but there are others that want them.

I was sure the Prerunner SR5 was slightly different than the SR5 by itself.

Referring to the emblem on the side of the cab.

 

I'll remove mine from my truck (OEM) and sell it to you for $200.

 

Lol wut?




I have some sun bleached sr5 ones on the side of my truck and I hate them! Just not a big badge guy lol

Someone want em? If they're on ebay for 200-300 I'll let my used ones go for 100

 

I just took mine off the other day with a plastic putty knife and tossed them in a box

 

They sure look the same to me.

Which one do you have the SR5 or the TOYOTA?

 

I took off both side SR5, rear TOYOTA, rear SR5 V6, rear TACOMA. everything but the side door raised emblems at this point. leaving debadged for a bit and then will put on my vinyl ones from @CBoy808

 

Damn, it’s worth that much?

I went to a car show and bought a box of brand new OEM badges from a bunch of different cars and stuck them all on my toolbox. Including a Tacoma one.

 

I took off all my 2004 badges (not the Toyota Tacoma doors) and put them in the trash.


Clean look. And they dont hold up too well Anyway

 

Yeah once they come off you really can't put them back. They're made of a soft plastic, almost like foam or silicone.

 

yeah they were like chrome covered foam junk. they creased when I took them off but sort of look normal sitting there

 

For those of you that took off the badges after all of these years what was the paint like underneath?

 

I’d buy one!!

 

Please send me the link to that super cheap original oem for $250!!!

Check out how much they are now... $999

There’s a few on the bay of e right now for $500

 

For those prices I will keep my original emblems with patina for future "value"..!

 

It depends on what the condition of the paint around them looks like. The paint underneath is like new so there likely will be some ghosting which can be corrected by compounding the area

 

Lol
