Aluminum Tacoma Grille Badge 2001-2004
This is a 2 piece aluminum TEQ grille badge for the 2001-2004 Toyota Tacoma. The outer visible piece is made from machined aluminum. The backing plate that goes behind the grille and protrudes forward to the front is made of 3D printed ABS plastic. Look at the pictures to fully understand the 2 piece design. This comes in two options; there is the satin black and gloss red finish. You can also order in bare aluminum and add your own color option. There are no tools needed and no hardware used. The factory badge must be removed first and then the backing plate will slide in behind the grille opening. You do not need to remove the grille to do this. Just pop the hood for easy access. The TEQ badge will have 3M adhesive on the backside. Remove the red backing tape from the adhesive and simply stick the badge onto the backing plate sandwiching the grille in between. Use good force while clamping and hold there for 20 seconds to ensure a good bond.

These are machined Aluminum TEQ badges (NOT PLASTIC) that can be mounted to any year and model Toyota/Lexus on any flat surface. It comes in 2 options. You can order the round or oval TEQ badge. Each badge comes in 3 finishes. You can get the red/silver, black/silver, and bare metal. The black/silver has a satin finish. The red/silver has a gloss finish. Just seemed to look best in those two finishes for those specific colors. The bare metal is for folks who want to paint them with your own custom color. Just do a couple heavy coats and then give 48 hours of drying time. Get some fine grit sandpaper and sand off the outer edge exposing the aluminum on the letters. The round is 3.5″ in diameter.
