How about drinking grain alcohol and rocking out to black metal? :headbang:

Would you be able to encase these within a UV-stabilized acrylic, like the OEM does? That extra wind resistance of the exposed metal is really gonna slow people like @zrk down

my guess is he won't buy it anyhow. I don't think he likes my milkshake or want to come to my yard

A pile of Toyota to make bling and I pick up some carbon backing ovals tomorrow from waterjet. I'm sorry I'm behind and I super appreciate everyone being patient with me

Why is the center oval so wide? And the top oval doesn’t curve in before the top of the logo, like the actual Toyota logo. Does it have to be slightly different to dodge lawyers? How is the titanium attached to the carbon fiber? And I assume the carbon fiber is flat, correct?
Thanks!

You are the first person to ask and I am so excited to answer!

Firstly, I like to avoid the chance of getting sued but I also chose to do a more traditional "straight edge" 'T' as a throw back to the 1958 Toyota 'T' because "1958 = 58 or b58" because I'm a f*cking dork 😂😂😂

the carbon is flat, the titanium is flat, they attach using a 3m manufactured pressure activated adhesive film that is clear and literally paper thin and costs me a great deal of money that I hope to recoup over time but it's worth it because you will barely if at all be able to see it, it's incredibly strong, and has high temperature and humidity resistance

When I see people paying $100-200+ And it's falling apart like the Florida guy with his GR badges I think I saw on FB it makes me sad. I don't want people to worry about mine doing that. If mine ends up not good enough I'll do it better and replace what wasn't good enough.

Haha, fantastic explanation. Sounds amazing. I was worried you had poor attention to detail, but it seems it’s quite the opposite! Any plans to do a TEq logo? I would absolutely love that.
And I’m not sure where I’m Charlotte you are, but if you ever need a silver on red to model some stuff (with a hood, too!), let me know! Haha

😂 well thank you sir.

I wish I could turn the detail part of my brain off to be honest, it gets exhausting.

I live in stallings, just east of Charlotte proper but I am everywhere all the time. I'm driving to Vegas day after tomorrow. I'd love to meet you and see what you're talking about red on silver

Funny! I'm right down the street, off of Airport Rd in Monroe, and go through Stallings all the time. Can't believe I've never seen your car, it stands out a good bit!

And it's silver on red, not red on silver 😂
