Hello!

I have a hard working 2007 Toyota Tundra that's been my pride and joy since we got it. It distressed me greatly when I came out of my favorite restaurant the other night and my emblem was missing. The odd thing about this is there were no pry marks or any other indications that it had come off. It was just not there any longer.

Three questions:
1. My husband wondered if there was something about Toyota emblems that caused people to steal them. I think it may just be silly kids as I can't see where this would be any type of status symbol.

2. How do you even get them on and off?

3. It appears it's going to cost me around $40 - $50 bucks to get a new one. Seems really silly to spend this type of cash for a "advertisement," but the grill just doesn't look the same without it. Any suggestions for a less expensive option?

Thanks!

Sorry to hear about your loss. It is probably just a case of some dumb thief thinking your emblem would look good in his garage. I've removed the center toyota emblem off my '08 grill to have it paint matched and I can tell you it just pops off in the back and is held in by only 2 small plastic clips. No way it falls off without somebody purposely removing it though. Had to be somebody with a tundra or experience removing one before for them to get it off without opening the hood.

They just pop off, can take mine off in about 2 seconds. But I hate a thief.

Thanks for the information and suggestions. Unfortunately, being the newby that I am, I'm unable to post to the buy/sell thread until I have 50 posts under my belt. Even I don't talk that much.

I already made a wtb thread in the buy sell section and had numerous replies with people having them. Just look for my thread and send those members PM'S inquiring about their emblem
