    Don't do it... it will look too deliberate and rice. What looks good is painting all the emblems black or whatever color you like or otherwise replacing the V6 badge with an official TRD or TRD Pro badge once the suspension is upgraded.

    No matter what kinda suspension I got, I would not run fake badges.o_O:notsure:

    You can always check out the photoshop thread to get a better idea of the look.:playball:

    I put these on my side doors maybe it'd work on tailgate too:rolleyes:

    Those look nice.

    OP, I think you might be able to get away with something a little bigger like these, if your going to center it on the tailgate. I think the normal badge would look too small in the center. But you could try it out with some double sided tape before committing to peeling the paper off the factory adhesive just to see.
