    I was interested in two pieces, first piece is the retro Tacoma emblem.
    [​IMG]
    and next is the skid plate with text. I would want it to say "SoftShellTaco"

    Both items are for a 1st gen and the skid plate would need to bolt on to an All-pro tube bumper.

    These look great. How large are they? Are they intended to go on the aftermarket grills or Satoshi mod grills? Have you done a shaka, hang loose emblem before, the one with the hand showing the pinky and thumb up, other fingers down. That would be my choice of emblem.

    They are custom so you can choose the size. Generally it is the size of the stock grill emblem and can be made for the stock grill or a satoshi

    Hey guys, thanks for the responses! I am really pleased with how these turned out. And yes, we are capable of producing any of the stuff you have seen and just about any other custom designs you can think of. Just shoot an email over to info@emblemart.com and they'll take care of you. I'll still be making all of these myself though!

    If you have any skid plate ideas or questions, shoot me a PM and we'll talk it over. I have designs for 1st gen, 2nd gen, and 2nd gen RCD lift (as far as I've heard, there arent any others out there) :)

    Keep in mind, all of my skid plates can be customized like the Retribution one you see above, I can do lettering or logos with great detail since I cut the skids on a waterjet. And yes, they do look great with some lighting behind them! I'll like another one that was done that turned out really well in a few.

    Hey guys, Travis here with EmblemArt!!!

    MetalMiller has been telling me that he's been getting a lot of requests. THIS IS GREAT!! However to keep efficiency up go ahead and contact me and I'll take your order for custom emblems. Just to give you all a heads up, as MetalMiller said, he's changed this from a hobby to a full on business. Therefore we have to charge a bit more for the emblems than you guys are used to.

    The prices are based on the area (total sq inches) of the emblem. It changes by model year and material. So here is the rundown for typical, single layer emblems in the 1/4" material. (The standard for grill emblems).

    Carbon Steel

    • 2000-2004 -- $120
    • 2005-2010 -- $132
    • 2011 -- $162
    • 2012 -- COMING SOON

    Billet Aluminum

    • 2000-2004 -- $140
    • 2005-2010 -- $154
    • 2011 -- $189
    • 2012 -- COMING SOON

    From there just add whatever options you like such as grinding (for rounded edges), mounting hardware, powder coat, or polish. Check out this page (http://www.emblemart.com/aluminumprc.html) for the prices for the different options.

    There is a setup and rendering fee of $70 for every order.

    Mind you these are prime SEMA quality emblems. They are not the knock off pieces of plastic from china. They are precision cut, hand ground, highly polished, and practically indestructible Emblems. There is one other place you can find pieces like these, however you would have to be willing for fork out $1000-$10000 for one.

    We look forward to working with you.

    *BE SURE TO SEND EMBLEMART A PM TO DETERMINE TO VERIFY YOUR QUALIFICATION FOR THE DISCOUNT.

    *THESE PRICES DO NOT APPLY TO THE "METALMILLER BATCH". They are just for your everyday custom emblem Exclusively for TW members.

    Why has the price jumped so high? I believe it used to be $85 shipped and powdercoated?

    Not with the powder coating. It was $85 shipped. But like I said before, MetalMiller was doing this as a hobby, not a business. He was barely making ends meet. Sometimes he would lag behind on orders because he had to dedicate time to a 'real job'. Now we have the opportunity to work together. He can dedicate more time, and get better higher quality emblems out the door.

    There is no other company that makes custom steel and billet aluminum emblems like these. I know, because it is my business to know. These emblems take a long time to make and are worth every penny.

    The plastic emblems that you now have on your trucks would cost around $1500 if you were to order a custom one made of plastic. (And believe it or not, I've had clients that bought emblems at that price) That's why most emblems have a minimum order requirement. I have developed a technology to make custom emblems with no minimum order, and MetalMiller has developed a technique for making metal emblems with no minimum order.

    What it comes down to, is here in TW, MetalMiller has discovered a product that has demand, and has been given this opportunity to turn a hobby into a full fledged business.
