Toyota Skull Emblem GB Feeler...

[fnkngrv]

Alright, Garm has just posted the below sticker on his vendor site microimageonline.com and in his thread he has stated that if we could come up with 50 emblems sold then he would do what it takes to have them actually made. These emblems would replace the Toyota emblems on our cars; this would be a real molded aluminum emblem, 3d just like OEM. I will be the first on the list. I would not expect Garm to look into it nor provide pricing without serious interest so let's go YW...if you think it is cool and would buy then get on the list!

Alright, after having a long discussion with Garm in regards to this we think that the best option for pricing and ability to even get this done would be to have for example rears only made and have them tooled in aluminum to provide the 3d effect like an OEM emblem. This would allow those that wish to polish the emblem to get the shiny sheen like a chrome piece and those that would wish to just paint the emblem to what ever color they want, be it matte black, glossy black, white, etc...

The LB and Sedan have different emblems so that means that we will need to fix the list to identify which you would wish to purchase. Also it needs to be understood that going the aluminum route will make a huge difference as Garm would have a lot invested up front going the plastic route which he might never recover cost on.

Depending on how well he is able to sell the rears may be able to warrant having the fronts done down the road or even up front...it all depends on interest. When it comes to cost, that will also be up in the air until the real demand is figured out. He did give a base example of the Netz/Vitz badging costing roughly 20 per emblem however that is a normal sale and not a GB. I have modified the numbers then for each member and ask that you either verify via PM or in the thread on whether or not you want to move forward with the new info as well as verifying whether you want LB or Sedan.

NOTE: I am in no way gaining profit from this endeavor. I just want the ability to purchase a cool product.

Clarification, this would be a real molded emblem, just like OEM, not the stickers I've been making so far.

There is a production cost and a minimum quantity, so that's why the OP started a list (thanks OP), to see if there is genuine interest.

[fnkngrv]

OP updated with clarification...

[RedRide]

I'm definately interested! I want it!
I would prefer either matte black or chrome

BTW, will it be just the front emblem for the HB and sedan?

[DevilGirl]

Count me in!

Matte black for me, if possible.

[CTScott]

Add me to the list; 1x Chrome (if the price isn't too bad, I'll take a second set for Crashy).

I don't see why it would not be front and rear, it just takes a minor elliptical manipulation of the design to compensate for the rear.

count updated...for now CTScott I have you down as 1 confirmed.

DevilGirl and RedRide I have you down for singles right now...just let me know if you would be in for 2 instead of singles and I can update.

5 confirmed right now, 8 if the price is right and DG/RR go doubles.

[toad]

definately in for one set(prefer chrome, but would do matte black if that's the only way to get one)!

updated...we are @ 7 confirmed now...

[Focus_Sh1ft]

Put me down for one chrome. If the price is reasonable I may want two.

[schleppy]

Put me down for one in black if the price is reasonable.

Edit: One meaning the front badge only.

If by singles you mean (1) single set consisting of a front and rear, then that would be correct.

However you're writing them down, I would like (1) for the front and (1) for the rear of a LB.

Preference would be for matte black, but if chrome is the only option, then that is fine too.

[fnkngrv]

DevilGirl brings up a valid point on whether or not we are talking about singles or pairs. Right now I am listing as singles as I believe that Garm would be selling them as singles and not pairs since many people may prefer to only replace either just the front or the back and would not want to feel like they would be wasting one if bought in a pair. I will further clarify with Garm however for now I am calculating as single units.

[Qilene15]

Definitely interested in buying these, would like 2 in matte black (one for front and one for rear) if possible :D

[rningonfumes]

Put me down for two sets (total 4) for sedan if that matters.

I'm sure we'll figure out the color or what not later.


*Suggestion: since we are going to do this, do we want to refine the pic/ adjust it and what not so that we get it to come out great? That is, after getting 50 people to sign up.

[fnkngrv]

alright peeps, we are almost 30% there...

[LA Yaris]

LA Yaris x1 (prefer matte black)
