    Not saying it couldn't happen, that little badge is super light and squishy though. It'd be the least of my worries if the airbag went off.

    Honestly if that was such an issue then Toyota wouldn’t have put it there in the first place. Like a few nubs are between you and an impression tattoo.

    If it’s stuck on the vinyl cover it will pivot out of the way, if it isn’t stuck in there it may catapult right at you. IDK I like what you have all done, and I may be intersted in doing it myself, I’d just melt the legs back or use some double sided tape or glue to be sure.

    Is there a chance? Sure. But the airbag literally deploys out of a horizontal slit immediately underneath the Toyota emblem. The airbag shoots out at such speed that if anything, that emblem would likely get deflected upward or even toward the windshield rather than at your face. That being said glue wouldn’t hurt. Tape probably not.

    Nice! Is that glued/stuck directly on top of the existing emblem, or did you remove the original emblem first?

    Not in the least. It will most likely rotate with the cover, but even if it doesn't, it is small compared to the metal shards that folks were getting hit with.

    Thanks!

    Definitely possible to remelt them. The shiny chrome was killing me.

    I would vote MGM, except for the gloss finish. I liked the matte black since it matches the rest of the interior black out stuff and the shine is gone.

    I painted the rest of the interior trim MGM a few months back, I think it will match better.

    Got the first version of the trd steering wheel logo done. Not very good yet, just a proof of concept. I'll get it dialed in though.

    Dude this is sick. Does anyone know if the dimensions for the badge are the same between 2nd and 3rd gens? Would love to do the retro one on my 2nd gen.

    Can't wait to see that, you do some nice work :thumbsup:

    I'm curious too. I haven't actually tested it yet. I'm pretty sure it will be fine, I kept it thinner than the factory logo. I'll post up if I end up testing it, I'm partial to my pro grill though.
