    So...I saw truck (not a Taco) this morning with blacked out badging...no big deal I know. However, these had a body color letter within the blackout letter and I thought it looked pretty cool. Similar to my CRUDE picture. What are your thoughts? Anyone know of someone who could do this? I reached out to Harmon Customs and they said they couldn't.

    I'm not thinking sticker, but rather an indentation that can be painted to color match the body.

    That's pretty cool. I like the look of the Black overlays, which I want to do, but I think it would look really goor to have a thin "TACOMA" ect. over the black.

    @CBoy808 I am ordering the blackout kit tomorrow. Could you make vinyl lettering in Inferno to fit inside the Tacoma and V6 Emblems? I want it to be more of a highlight and not the focal point. If it looks good, I will do the tailgate as well.

    perhaps a hollowed out black inlay-ed sticker....ensuring 100% color match. I'll take a free set for the idea, thank you :thumbsup::D

    That was my original idea, but fabrication would be tough.

    I have inlays for the emblems for sale on my site. While the pics show them on the chrome emblems they will work on black emblems, and I have vinyl the closely matches the inferno paint color.
