FS: Custom TOYOTA Grill Emblems

Thanks for the bump , I'm finally getting the free time to do another production run. The question is how many...

From that old waitlist (in red), who is still interested?

1. @AR15xAR10 - powdercoated, TBD
2. @DuttonCD - white powdercoat
3. @Tacomoto23 - raw aluminum
4. @flyfisher4822 - bead blasted
5. @TacoPretzel89 - white powdercoat
6. @blairboy12 - raw aluminum
7. @KK1849 - ???
8. @Sleipnir - ???
9. @orezona - ???
10. @Ulysiss - ???
11. @sulfurburner - raw aluminum
12. @gsuit11 - white powdercoat

If you're on this list and you don't want to be, or vice versa, shoot me a message. And if you've got a ??? next to your name, let me know if you want raw aluminum, bead blasted, or powdercoated finish.

 

Sorry man, ended up buying a plastic emblem.

 

In for raw Al!

 

No problem, my fault for the delay! I'll take you off the list.

 

Sounds good, Thanks!

 

Does powder coating include bead blasting? For that textured look or is that the extra 10 dollars

 

I used to have a plastic emblem, but the black background would turn me off a little. These have a much more appealing look to me, and you can also paint them any color you want easily instead of just dealing with white. At the same time though, the plastic one is a decent choice...I sold my emblem in like an hour when people heard I was going this route.

PMs replied, waitlist updated (first page). I'll be placing the order with the waterjet cutter next week so if your name is still in red, please confirm that you still want a set or I'll take you off the list. Thanks!

@Dozer can you take a close up pic of what a bead blasted letter looks like compared to the raw

Still want them. I am in Denver, CO.

 

A bead blasted set if I have not missed the cutoff. Thx

 

If you have these on your truck can post a pic please

 

Did you see the first post of this thread...?

 

Yeh but I would like to see it on a few different gens and vehicles. Thanks

 

PMs replied and first post updated with current list. I just got the quotes back and unfortunately both the waterjet price and shipping costs both went up since the last time I did this. Just to cover some of those costs I had to update the price for each version by $5. As always, that's the price shipped to your door.

Raw aluminum - $40 shipped
Bead-blasted finish - $50 shipped
Powdercoated - $60 shipped

 

It's included as part of the process - the parts are beadblasted first to remove any scratches/burrs that you might get on the raw aluminum parts. Personally, I liked the metallic/textured look of the beadblasted aluminum so I just applied a clearcoat before installing them on my truck. The powdercoating has a smooth finish so you won't see any texture from beadblasting after they have been powdercoated.

I don't have any on hand, but the raw aluminum is what I get from the waterjet cutter - I box it up and ship to you. It might have minor scratches or burrs on the edges, as you'd expected on any piece of sheet metal. The beadblasting smooths out any blemishes gives an even texture - it also makes it look matte silver instead of glossy metal. This is the best shot I have of the beadblasted letters from my truck (compared to the plastic emblem).

You got it!

I think they're only on 2nd gen Tacomas right now, but after this round we could have a variety, and a 4runner or two. @01 Runner, do you want me to add you to the list?

 

I'll take a bead blasted in that case

 

Updated the first post with a new single-piece backing option. It was a custom order request that I'm now offering to everyone. If you are interested just reply in the thread of shoot me a message! Ordering deadline postponed until tomorrow, Thursday Feb. 9th.
