Toyota emblem grille vinyl ?

I don't know that painting it would do anything bad with the sensor. Just nothing thicker than the film we been getting away with using.

Maybe try plastidip paint.

 

By the way, be very carefully with this mod, that emblem cost $300.
I know because I broke it...

 

We’re not trying to play basketball with it over here. Just putting a thin layer of film on it that’s fairly easily removed. Lol

Sorry to hear you broke yours though. I’d ask how, but I don’t want to make you relive the moment. :/

 

I know!!! I'm not trying to say that this is a bad idea, I'm only trying to highlight that it is a expensive part so people are extra careful when removing it.

As for how it broke, I really didn't do any research, I tried to take it off without removing the grill, and failed to notice that beside the 4 plastic tabs there's also a screw holding it in place so I ended braking 2 tabs and the screw mount.
But, on the bright side the wrapping turned out perfect. XD

 

Haha! I know. Just giving you crap.

That sucks though! In all honesty, I didn’t even remove mine to wrap it though. I just cut a little excess all the way around (basically followed the furthest point of the groove around it) and then tucked it in with a trim tool.

Sorry to hear about yours tho.

 

The bad part is that I had a bit of trouble finding a replacement, I called 3 dealerships and all 3 told me that their system doesn't show the part by itself and that the whole assembly had to be ordered with the vehicle ID to see if Toyota would sell it, then I looked online for the part# that is on the back of the emblem and it showed up for as available from one of the same dealers.

I'm hopping it's the right one, because if it isn't I'm taping it to the grill.

 

Not sure if you're still looking, but there's a guy on Instagram that makes vinyl wraps and decals for the front emblem, roof rack fairings, and just about anything else. I just ordered a wrap for my UpTop Bravo roof rack. www.instagram.com/c_mento_taco_808.

 

Hu what look ... don’t know if it’s the lighting I cant even see the emblem . Lol

 

Hello @allisonnm, I was looking for the actual emblem, not the vinyl wrap, fortunately I found the right part number and ordered it from a local dealer. However after trying the smoke vinyl over the new emblem I ended up ordering a decal from someone on Instagram and used that instead.

 

I'm all for blacking out the chrome, but at some point you reach diminishing returns. I've blacked out everything except the grille emblem and the wheel center cap emblems, and find that there are no easy solutions for those. At least they're not visible when driving.

 

came here to pump this guy’s insta, you have to DM him on Instagram but the final product is v choice and I’ve had no errors with TSS after applying mine. Definitely be careful with the tabs on the emblem even at 70° ambient temps they were very brittle.

 

Success.

 

How I feel with my giant ass chrome Toyota emblem on my Offroad grill:

 

Here's my first attempt with the vinyl. it's one layer of the gray and the yellow logo. This afternoon I did some interstate driving just to use the radar cruise control. It had no adverse effect. I'm now going to switch the gray to black. The wrinkles are because I was in a hurry and it was just a test one.

 

Also got mine from C_Mento_Taco_808. Super easy to order from, and instructions were great. End product was awesome. Definitely recommend having a heat-gun on hand to help with the installation process.

 

What does this emblem say?

 

Toyota in Japanese looks like Teq

 

If anyone is interested in an overlay for their Taco, we offer a variety of color/options/designs. We're constantly coming up with new designs, but do occasionally take custom order as well. Just wanted to throw it out there in case anyone is searching for a solution in chrome deleting the front emblem
