Well, just took emblem off, sanded down and primered. Will dry over night. Sand some more and paint tomm. I am going to pain it black with a thin red border to match my TRD lettering on the back. I will re-install and at the mod meet(if I can wait) I will install to my grill. I will do this by securing a 1/4 bolt to the back of the emblem with epoxy. Then, in turn, secure to grill. I will post pics tomm.

Ok, had to sand down, again. My wife has a steady hand so i am going to get her to do it.(the red part), if it doesn't look good I am just going to solid black. When I painted solid black, I really liked the way it looked and almost didn't do the red, so I got one more shot.

^^^ What he said....we like to be a part of it until it gets boring or you talk about it too much. Keep blabbing about what you want to do next and next and next....and then she'll not want to hear it so you can just got spend as you please.
