    See what you think at my first attempt at a direct swap in badge. It will need filler primer and paint and will be an easy swap with the OEM badge.

    The backing plate all printed. I still need to add tabs or threaded posts to secure into the existing holes.

    Do you know anyone with a 3d printer? If so, I might be able to help you create the design. I would offer to print it also, but I'm afraid I might end up in the 3D printing business and I already have a livelihood ;)

    Send me a pic of what you have in mind and I'll see what I can come up with this weekend.

    Is it just me or is the vectoring lines from the 3d print texture kinda cool? I'm tempted to hit it with a rattle can without primer and see what happens. I can always primer over. Plus it only took 6 hours to print if I need to start over. I'm happy to share the file if anyone wants to play with the design in CAD or I can post a link to the finished printable file.

    Looks great. I'd like the file. I'm going to create some sort of tundra lettered logo myself
