Blacked out TOYOTA logos and lettering

[Rat Patrol]

Was this a factory, port or dealer installed option or did the port or dealer have someone black out these pieces at time of sale?

There was a black pearl...but it was SET or GST. You can get them from the interweb

What are SET or GST?

South East Toyota and Gulf States Toyota...

My LC came with Black Pearl emblems. Only one I've ever seen. Here's a link to where you can get them, but at over $200 a set, plasti dip sounds pretty good.

I had them on mine too and like RND1, I'm also in MA. Guess a few LC's meant for SET and GST found their way up north. The finish started to fade after all these years so I PlastiDipped mine. Prefer the matte black look anyways.

I have them on my CA truck but if you can't find the toyota part numbers for them alot of the times it came from SET or GST.

Had no idea. I honestly thought a previous owner painted them or something. My 99 has them.

Did you take them off or just do a careful job masking?

 

[Ayc3]

Sprayed and peeled

Nice , does it take awhile to peel off the excess out of the letters?

 

[Ayc3]

Not at all. Probably 5 minutes to peel once dried.

You can use a toothpick for any fine details. Won't scratch your paint.
