Looks great!

Btw, who the hell would spend 70$ on a couple of emblems...

Whatever happened to some charcoal/gunmetal paint? of course a little sanding and appropriate coats of clear coat.

oh well, beats me...

 

Me. If you want them from the dealer, i believe they cost more than $200

I actually went the first route.painting the emblems, but they do not have the jewel-like clarity of genuine emblems.

 

I didn't know you could get genuine emblems in black. You sure they're genuine!?? Or did they just chuck them into a Toyota box haha.

 

That's great! What clearcoat did you use if you did? Sorry for all the questions.

 

The gunmetal spray is a semi transparent clear coat.
I thought you already chromed your grille?
This gunmetal spray won't look good over real chrome either..just makes it milky looking and has a semi gloss sheen.
-Yes they are genuine, Emblems were offered as part of the coach edition package, or separately in 00-01

 

Ohh, i see. And yeah I did... After about 3 weeks the clear coat started cracking from UV damage im suspecting. Within a week and a half, the cracks had made their way through the top coat. Ditched the wrecked grill for a brand new 95 grill, and then for the sake of looks ripped off the tacky chrome trim around the car.

 

took off the chrome from around my car too lol...

 

Oh ok cool. They should last forever then.
