Similar to 'mis-badging' 80's with Tesla badges, what alternative Toyota badges can replace factory logos etc.?

[sunrk]

My LHS barn door has two open holes where the factory logo badge used to be. What alternative Toyota badges will suit for replacing toyota logos on 80's?

Do any earlier (like 40 or 60 series) badges suit? Is it possible to get a 'teq' badge that will fit the 80 barn door?

On the same realm, which alternative front grille configs exist? Currently I have a standard grille with 'TOYOTA' and nothing else.

I've seen some people 'delete' the 'T' and 'O' to make it say 'OYOT'.

You could definitely fit a TEQ badge there, but you'd need to seal it up well. No other badge is really gonna fit perfectly on a barn door, maybe an LX450 rear emblem?

Coolest option for rebadging the front would be satoshi style:

For sale is a custom grille made by Matt of Custom Car Grilles, with a toyota emblem added. This is a one-off he made ahead testing if he wanted to build the product, which he or may not do in the future. This is grille is from an early FJ80, which is slightly smaller than the grille of an...

I would consider any badge that suits you and fits. Remove studs that don’t line up with the existing holes and use double sided 3M tape to secure it. If you clean the area well the 3M tape should seal the unused holes from the original emblem.

Good suggestion.

I don't think modern car's badges are pinned at all. Just double sided tape

Would anyone get mad at a full TEQ rebadge of a LX450?

If it's your car, do whatever makes you happy.

I personally like funny s***, so I want a Turbo the Snail badge.

If your LX has gold badges, anything else would be an improvement.

I ended up getting a genuine logo badge for the LHS barn door but don't have anything sorted for the front grille. It's still a standard style with no subsidiary 'diesel' or 'turbo' or similar badge.

Me as well, I don’t hate it. It’s emerald green and I think I might stripe the rockers with the yellow/orange/red. I’ve removed the body panels and flares and am having the holes filled and repainted right now. Still on the fence with the stripes.
