    I recently purchased a 2021 "Barcelona Red" SR5 and I ordered black replacement emblems (not the overlays). I was wondering if anyone has replaced the emblems that came on their truck with emblems that are the same color as their truck? I've tried to find photos of red tacomas with red emblems but came up empty.... Just curious what others think

    If you do you can get your exact truck color and spray paint your existing emblems. Obviously, take them off the truck and perhaps sandblast them if they're the chrome version (that shit is like kryptonite).

    The only truck that came with color matched emblems was the x runner, as far as I can remember. I think it was black, blue and red?

    What’s the point of changing your OR grille? Same concept.

    Mum.... Kind different, you can see the style of grille. Same colour of emblems and truck, just like use black permanent pen writing on a black paper (example. Black)

    Definitely not comparable to writing haha.
    Changing the grille because you prefer the look is comparable to changing emblem colors because he prefers the look.

    I got the black overlays and painted them blazing blue along with the grill letters and inner wrapping bar in the grill for my 2017 black. Not 100% sure if I love it but it does look clean and the blue pops well enough

    Stick with the black. Barcelona Red really comes alive once you de-chrome it.

    Sorry, I should’ve been more unambiguous. Im curious how Tacoma’s would look with emblems that are the same color as the truck.....

    Yes. I'm also a stickler for factory design. I've debated removing it entirely, but would never consider the black knockoff version. It looks...wrong.

    I pulled all my chrome emblems off & deleted my TRD OFF ROAD silver bed stickers found these things just for nothing other than not to look like every other Tacoma running around
