    Looks like the 81-87 Land Cruiser Emblem would work, just have to center it.

    you sir, doing God's work. To the less discerning eye, I looked at your side by side photos and I think they did a great job on the replication.

    What exactly did you mean by drilling holes. Curious because I'm on the fence about ordering this grill

    When you receive the grill you will notice that from the back there are preexisting drill points that are closed just in case you dont want to add the letters.

    In case you do decide to add them you just need to drill those little holes to give access to the pegs of each letter. You will notice that each letter has a specific peg that matches each hole so it wont be hard to line them up and make sure they are all straight and evenly spaced out. Once each peg is in place they will fall into their corresponding spots. You then lock them in with the clips provided.

    Hope that helps. But if it doesnt let us know

    @daohaus -- I'm interested in foglight bezels that work with the stock foglights, but appearance-wise are similar to the Rigid Industries ones from the TRD Pro.
    Reason being, the round foglights and bezels don't "flow" as well with the front end, but I'm really NOT interested in getting LEDs or having even more labels on the truck. :anonymous:

    Got my grill installed, perfect fit.. Land Cruiser Toyota emblem ordered too, should be here soon. I'm kinda worried about emblem fitment since the grill has a center bar and the emblem posts are centered too. Will probably have to work up a fix on my 3d printer since i dont really want to drill holes just yet

    Why not just get the bezels from a SR5? The Sport and Off Road have these weird square bezels, while the SR5, limited, and Canadian Sport and OffRoad models have a shape similar to the Rigids, but for round fogs.

    They do look slightly better, I'll give you that. But there's still the large round hole/light, and nothing to break it up.
