    id probably be in of it were 70-80 shipped.
    i just don't wanna really wanna pay more then that since i really only need 3 emblems out of the 7.
    x2-tacoma door badges and x1-v6 badge.

    only other option aside from dipping like they are now is if i can find a local shop to paint my oem emblems for the same price.

    I'm still waiting on pricing. If I can retail them at $100 it may be possible to sell them as low as $80. That figure was the lowest in my head based how much I think it's going to cost to make the mold and manufacture and ship. It's very likely I'll offer a group buy or TW discount. However selling them on eBay or locally at our dealership or another my buddy works at at, I'll be trying to stick as close to retail as possible. If not budging at all. Like I've said before I'm not trying to get rich selling these, just think there is a demand and I personally would like a good quality full replacement set

    Can't believe they haven't got back to me yet. The rep I spoke with yesterday may be off today or perhaps it's some Chinese holiday lol. Hopefully I have something tomorrow. Kinda anxious. Just hoping this all pans out and I can put together a kick ass set of emblems at a great price!



    I'll keep everyone posted! Please cast a vote in the poll. The more people I have interest the better chance I can pull the trigger and make this all a reality

    Seems to me like there is a good amount of interest. Still haven't heard back. Guessing the girl I was talking to was off yesterday. I should have an email (hopefully) later tonight. Then I can figure out the cost of everything and some retail numbers then see if it all makes sense. If it does then all I need to do is send a set of emblems to them to have them get precise measurements. I'll keep everyone posted once I hear back.

    In the mean time if anyone has removed any SR5, 4x4, front Toyota emblem(s) let me know if you want to sell them and how much you'd want. I'm not sure what my cost is on a new set from work as I've been off for a week so far because I had surgery, but if I can pick up a cheap set to send to them to mock up that would be great. Or if I end up getting the kit made of someone sends me there I'll give them a free set for helping me out. If anyone is interested just let me know.

    Thanks

    I am interested, but of course only need the two "Tacoma" badges. With the Pro grille, debaging the v6 and having an Off Road, not an SR5, I am not sure I would want to buy all those extra emblems if it raises the price, I understand it from your end though.

    I'm getting the Nox Lux overlays delivered today and won't need the (1) front Toyota emblem, (1) 4X4 and (2) SR5 overlays. If anyone wants 'em PM me and we can work something out. Otherwise I'll post 'em up in the for sale section later. :thumbsup:

    Unfortunately they will all be done in a satin/matte finish. However if you take a can of clear coat and apply it before sticking them on, I think that would give you the gloss you want and also some added protection on the badges. I wouldn't think it would hurt them at all. Just food for thought :hungry:

    Small update. finally got a reply, she was able to answer some of my questions however she didn't receive the original email so she is currently working on that. Guessing I won't have numbers until Sunday evening or Monday now. However she was able to answer some questions.

    The emblems will be made out of an ABS material and will have a matte black. Shouldn't have any major UV fading with the life expectancy the same time frame as an OEM emblem. It will take 2-3 weeks to manufacture plus shipping time. So earliest I would expect them if I placed an order would currently be early-mid November.

    If anyone has any questions please let me know. Like I said I'm still waiting on pricing. Once I receive that, I'll be able to look at the numbers and set a retail price and see if this makes sense from a business standpoint. If the price is competitive and I feel there is enough interest in the product, I'll sit down and figure out some type of special pricing for either a initial group by, or a TW member discount (Or both).


    I'll keep everyone posted as soon as I have more info. To all that have taken the poll and have been watching this thread, I just want to say thanks! Pricing coming soon!
