Yes, those look nicer.

Actually, if you look more closely (at the edges of the chrome emblem, of the Prius), the Prius ones are the same...so I guess the Prius ones are actually 3d...but a "flat" "T" and not the usual diamond/angular "T" ..if that made sense. Thanks for the pic...exactly what needs to be made

And, Loden can make those too

UPDATE:

Loden tells me (if they will make this Toyota “T” emblem in 2-3 months) that they will only independently make it as an “Overlay” (ie: same exact size as the current “86” Loden emblem, that Cannot fit inside the recess/hole, and is NOT a full direct replacement.

….unless of course, we can convince them otherwise (more votes in the Poll please ), OR, if someone is willing to fully invest in producing it.

Additionally….

In order to make the more desired “Replacement”…it would require a 3rd party full investor, because they are not willing to carry this out independently (since they do not want, and actually discourage, making a “full replacement”…so making a “full replacement” will require someone to invest in full cost of production)

So, if you guys now any frs companies or car shops (or rich individuals, hehe) that may be interested in investing in this “full replacement” emblem idea…. please @hashtag them to this thread, message them, pm them or let them know somehow.




Quoted:

"New production runs have an MOQ of x1000pc + mold/tooling charges. It's not inexpensive. Any production requires a substantial investment which is normally reserved for OE accounts or large retailers.

Although the Loden brand name is fairly new, we have been in the rebadging business for over a decade. In our experience, the vast majority of customers want nothing to do with removing the steering wheel emblem (for obvious safety reasons). Therefore, we would discourage anyone from producing a full replacement steering wheel emblem.

Best Regards,
Loden Emblems"

"Good morning. Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding a full replacement emblem. This could be produced very easily in low production QTY from our laser cut stainless steel / polished material.

However, to replicate the OE badge ABS / mass production would be best. 2D aluminum w/ epoxy coating is also an option. However, neither of these projects is something we would carry-out independently. Either would require a 3rd party to invest fully.

We will check your poll thread at a later time to evaluate interest of the overlay T.

Best Regards,
Loden Emblems "

But, I don't know him at all and it sounds a little shady, don't ya think?? It sounds like he's using me(my paypal acct) as the middle-man (if any problems arise (say with Toy); it would be on me). Or, it sounds like a scam in which I collect orders/payments, then send him the money, then he never ships them out, while he pockets the scammed money, and again, everything and all problems would land on me and my paypal acct. Or, am I being too cautious?

What do you think?

Anyways...$30 each, free shipping worldwide.

Anybody who orders/gets this..please post pics

...I love how it looks much more low-profile and flatter, as compared to the "86" emblem which looks a bit bulgy and pokes out too much.
