Front Grille Emblem - Where to get?

[Bonin]

I broke my front grille emblem back in December. I immediately ordered and paid for a custom one from Metal Miller, but after a long chain of emails promising the emblem to be ready and shipped pretty much every week since mid-February, I'm starting to give up on the hope that I will eventually see my emblem. Now the guy hasn't responded to my last 4 emails and they don't list a phone number on their website. Tried to dispute with Paypal, but it's been 85 days now and you can't open a complaint after 45 days.

Do you know of any place where I could order just the OEM front grille emblem? I've looked on Ebay and parts sites, but it appears the emblem comes with the whole 150$ grille assembly.

Any help is much appreciated.

I believe the part number is 90975‑02188. The odd part is searching google for it, its not listed as a 4runner part. But I have one in front of me that came off my 4runner. I may not be looking in the right place, but the cheapest shipping I can find to Canada is $35, and on ebay there is one for about $13 USD and $8 USD shipping.

Something tells me he wouldn't do that considering that's the name he mentions that has failed to send him the front emblem to start with....

First emblem was from Jeff @ Metal Miller, took bout 3 months. He didn't offer Devil Horn on fire, but the polished aluminum was nice quality. Emblem fit pretty well, but grille has slight bevel, emblem was flat. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/general-discussions/130803-custom-emblems-3.html post 31. Ended up using it for a hitch cover.

Second emblem was from Andres Diaz Custom Emblems, 2014 March batch for Devil Horns and Model T - Tacoma World Forums Emblem was beveled and fits like a charm, no drilling necessary. He communicated every step of the way, shipped when promised, product was high quality, I highly recommend him.

Hey Bob,
Right now we're waiting to get the emblems back from our water jet facility. From there we'll prep them for finishing, get them finished, and send them your way.
Thanks for your patience!

Metal Miler emblem Order

I have ordered my emblem a while back and was promised that the emblem was about to be completed and shipped shortly. It has been nearly 4 months and still no emblem. I have emailed them several times with no replies. I still have hopes that they will fulfill my order soon! Just Praying!

 

[manofsteele2003]

Well the website no longer works and that's never a good sign.

Have you checked out your local foreign auto wrecking yards?

 

[Daily-runner]

Yea, don't use metalmiller. He also took my $300 and ran.

 

[Raven]

This really ticks me off, and I didn't even order anything from him!
When this sort of thing happens, we need a name or some way of tracking this guy.
He could start up another company tommorrow, and continue ripping people off with impunity.

ps., What's worse than being pissed off?

I have one sitting in my garage, if you want it you can have it. I'll be back home the weekend after thanksgiving, let me know and I'll mail it out to you when I get home.

I started this thread so might as well put some updated information.

I did end up getting my emblem from Metal Miller. It arrived in June. That's right, had to wait 7 months.

I ended up ordering another one in early September but made him promise that he would not be screwing-up again. He did, so this time I made sure to file in a Paypal claim before it was too late. Got my money back. Good luck getting yours.

So, do you still want an OEM emblem?

 

[Earl388]

Sorry to revive a really old thread, but I still don't see that anyone was able to find an OEM (or at least really close) front emblem. Does anyone have a source?

I talked to my dealership and it's a shame that they will only sell the entire front grille assembly (Part # 53101-35080-ColorCode) which runs $150+.

Anyone have a solution? I just need a factory emblem... someone broke mine off apparently.

Not sure if this would work since you are missing the front emblem, but perhaps you could buy the blackout kit. This should be cheaper, and you'll be kewl with black emblems.

I'd consider the black out kit, but it's out of stock and backordered 6-8 weeks. Not an ideal purchase for me...

Not a fan of the TEQ either. Just really surprised Toyota won't sell just the OEM emblem. It just has clips and pops right off.

Or if anyone here has theirs and is willing to sell it (via ebay or whatever), PM me.
