Strips of 3M automotive adhesive are used on the back in recessed slots. Some exact adhesive that Toyota used for the rear badge.

Here is the rear badge and you can see by the 2nd pic how it attaches. I should have install pics this weekend. I mocked it up on my buddy Kyles 2014 5th gen and it fit perfect. I'm kicking myself for not taking pics of it then.

Delivery will be a tad later than early next week. I keep selling out of my TEQ badges in other styles so my order keeps growing and growing which puts the delivery date further and further back. I will probably have them around Thursday or Friday of next week and on my site by Saturday.

Please reserve front and rear for me.
These look great.
My only concern would be the sharp edges combined with the flat backing - might hold onto dirt/mud/dust/etc. a bit more than desired (especially since I wash my truck probably 12 times a year). Might be cool to fill with a crystal clear epoxy based filler so that it is completely flat on the surface (at least for the front emblem).

I thought about doing that but the cost gets to a point that I can't keep them affordable. If I was making batches of 1000+ then doing a clear apoxy fill might only be a few extra dollars a piece. I also wanted to do rounded edges but I had to use WAY smaller tooling bits to do that which caused the machining time to almost triple. That caused the cost to almost double. There has to be a balance between aesthetics and cost. What looks best may not be available in a reasonable price. I had to find the best middle ground I could.

The badges were delivered yesterday. There was an issue with fitment on the rear badges so I had to put in a separate order for those. I wont have those until I get my next batch in about 10 days. The fronts will be up on my website Friday evening. I have to get them all inspected and prepped before they are ready to ship. Shipping is free so if someone decides to order the rear at a later date, it wont cost any more money going that route.

Sorry for it being so late to get these up on my site. It was a long day at work. The front grill badges are prepped, ready to ship, and up on my site at:
Aluminum 5th Gen 4Runner TEQ Grill Badge | BH3D Printing
The rear badges had to get a change to get fitment perfected so they will be up on my site in a week or two. Shipping is free.
