    So I was messing around with the Rago plate and I know a few do not like the new logo. Here is an idea that I came up with. I cut a piece of plexiglass and drilled holes to use the logo as the mount. I can actually shift the one screw over to the next hole so that they are even. I hit it with a coat of SEM Trim black. I'll cut a small TRD decal on the vinyl machine later today and see how it looks. Just an idea. The last image was just some vinyl to see how a decal would look.

    Hmmmmm…..seeing as people complained about logos on it just to put another logo on it? I like the idea but don’t actually understand people objecting to the rago logo on it.

    This gives me an idea.
    Adhesive backed shim plate material. Create a block off template from ball mount to ball mount. Terminate 2 sides under ball mounts. (Sandwich it in place). the shim plate can be found pretty thin. (0.003-0.009")
    Not sure if logo is larger than ball mount footprint.
    Would need to paint shim plate after fitting to color match.

    My guess is just that some don't like to advertise a company's product.
