    I'm actually thinking of derping the grill in five vertical stripes - three white and two red - along the same lines as my original thought of doing the lower valence. Since I can't get Texas to get rid of the front license plate, I'm moving that idea (below) up to the grille.

    I'm also considering finding someone who can make a custom shield to perfectly replace the Toyota emblem, or just up and making my own. It would be the oval, but done in such a way as the star is off center because the shield is coming at you.

    I would be king of the nerds.

    Well it's a good thing it ain't up to you, it's up to the household CFO.

    Who is not me.

    She is cheap.




    But at least she let me get a monster stove and oven.

    Take a look at the T-Rex billet grille. You could wrap the upper third billets in red, the middle in white, and the lower third in blue, and they give you a nice flat plate for the Toyota badge, which you could use to put your shield.

    So @rrentrop is a perfectionist, and isn't 100% pleased with how my side marker decals over so he's doing a do-over.

    He has found a way to make them even more bad-ass.

    Thank you sir!

    Way ahead of you. It wasn't on his radar at the time, but if demand increases...

    Hey @Andres - how much for a Captain America shield replacement Toyota grille emblem?

    Hmm, I may be able to have that emblem out by mid July.
    Price will be determined when it's ready on the website.

    No hurries - I'd have to float that past Missus America anyway. Supposed to be saving money for a project on the house.

    More like $150. I think you got a decimal off. I have had it replaced.
