haha don't worry about that. there is pretty much zero chance that will happen. for that to happen someone needs your plate. In order for toyota to actually send you a letter they need your information. the DMV has something called Driver's Privacy Protection Act (DPPA) that limits who can access your personal information.
to put your mind at ease, toyota needs to 1.capture your plate, 2. go to the DMV in your state and request your information at which point hopefully they will be denied so 3. they go to the police, open an investigation and get police power to access your information. 4. dedicate legal resources to actually writing you a letter and 5. actually appoint someone (likely a third party law firm in your area) to go to court or deal with you to settle the matter
all for what? to remove your personalized logo? I doubt they can claim damages unless they can prove you profited from using their logo without rights or somehow your custom logo caused financial loss. unlikely.
so go beastmode on your rig and don't worry about it
