You'll lose your warranty on the emblem you paint. What are you going to tell the dealer if your emblem craps out. "I just woke up one morning and it was black"
They can deny warranty only on the part,or anything affected by that part as per the Magnuson-Moss Warranty act of 1975. You Canucks may be on your own there though as it's only US.
And yes some of us on this forum are paid Toyota spies pretending they own a 4Runner and checking out who mods and who doesn't.They give it to Santa as a naughty and nice mod list.

I may go with this approach so I don't have to worry about paint chipping and to be able to go back to chrome--if I want to or when I sell. I want to get the 4Runner back logo (black w/ chrome lettering), black fog light accents, and black front Toyota emblem holder. I think this would compliment my black 4R well. No idea on the pricing though--if anyone knows, please respond.

They are proud of these plastic parts and charge big bucks. Much cheaper to paint. Those parts you just mentioned would be close to or over $500 as they don't separate the front emblem"wings" that hold the emblem. You have to buy the whole upper grill section. I think the back"garnish" as it's called is something like $180 plus letters are like $40.
