Custom LED Backlit TRD Pro Emblem

I’m working on finishing up a custom project that I have a lot of hours in and wanted to share my progress so far. I designed these in CAD based off of the original TRD Pro Emblem. The badges are made using ABS and the letters out of PC/ABS. I still have to sand, prime, and paint but I wanted to share what they look like so far. The light on the pro is more red then the pictures show. My phone makes it look more orangish. Also, there won’t be light escaping from the back as I haven’t installed the backing yet.

What do you think?

It’s cool but you’ll catch a lot of shit for it most likely

 

Very cool!

 

That is sweet, functional? No. Awesome? YES. well done OP, very original.

 

Nice work OP!

 

@mesojdm gone get dat ass.

 

I like it. I’ll take two off road ones These remind me of the new F150 emblems that light up on the fords

 

Dope! But why not print just the clear letters and snap them onto the stock emblem base? Woulda saved a lot of work. Do you have pics of the backside/lighting array? Nice CAD too

 

Thanks everyone.

I don’t know, that’s a good question, lol. I guess I could have done that, but would have to check if the letters actually go through the face of the original badge, I think they are just part of it/all 1 piece...not sure though. It definitley would have saved a lot of work though! And no sorry I don’t have any pics of the led set up.

 

Well done! Any chance you’ll offer colors besides red?

 

That's very nice. I'll take one that says TRD Off road if you plan on making one in the future without the lights.

 

Nice work but you might wanna familiarize yourself with the Lanham Act.

 

It would be cool to have these light up as you approach the truck. Like the interior lights. Very cool stuff.

 

Very cool! also in if you decide to start customizing (Off Road) and selling.

How is it powered?

 

Neato.

 

I’d love one that says TRD Off Road but I don’t really want to drill holes in my doors lol

 

Need to hang one in the man cave

 

Those are awesome looking! Great work OP!

 

That looks pretty cool.

Some constructive criticism...I would raise the R up just a tad bit or shorten the legs. Looks a little low IMO.
