    I was going through Amazon and ebay to look for plastic inserts for the tacoma letters by the glove box compartment and the only ones in inferno I could find were decals. Purchased them and while they looked okay I wanted actual plastic inserts. So i got to work on my 3d printer and a week later this is what I came up with.

    After 3d printing then acetone smoothing and then minor cutting with exacto knife this is what I came up with:

    This weekend I am going to paint them inferno and see how that comes out.

    Heres one where I painted 2 letters but the picture makes it look more redish.

    ABS plastic. It was so I can Acetone smooth it as ABS works best for that.

    Thanks guys. I was thinking 12$ for white and 15$ for painted and shipped within US(will try to have Tacoma colors or try to match as close as possible) but I am not sure yet as I would have to do a few sets first. Let me know what you guys think

    They look good! $12/$15 sounds reasonable. I’d like a Silver Sky set, please.
