Just ordered my Toyota Badging to put on my Grillcraft Grill.
Toyota Parts Zone Price $32.13
Part #: 75311-90k00
ok, found it, ordered from "Toyota Parts" | "Toyota Accessories" | 1stToyotaParts.com.
Let's Get It On!

On the back of the toyota badge there are 3 posts. There's a wider base and then it thins out at the top of all three posts. I cut the thinner top part of those three posts off just leaving the thicker base area. I then drilled a small hole (just wide enough for my small zip ties) diagonally through the base of the wider part of the post. Be careful drilling, it's thin plastic and you don't want to go through it. I used some 3M double sided tape on the top of my posts and I used a zip tie that I fed through the holes I drilled in the base to attach it to the grill.
Hopefully after you look at it you'll see what I'm talking about. Other users have done different things to secure it but I have had no issues with mine, it doesn't feel loose and stood up to an auto car wash so far.

Does anyone else care to share their solution?
I haven't installed mine yet, but after analyzing the post layout vs. the mesh grill I purchased, I was thinking I would cut off the posts and use 3M double sided tape to mount it to the grill. I can't imagine the kind of force required to shear it off with that. I've used industrial double sided adhesive before with great success, and one time I used it on drywall and had to tear out the top layer of the drywall to pry it off.
You should buy a chrome Mac Truck bulldog and have it tearing out of the front of the grill, 3D version.
That would look awesome (Or maybe a chrome bull?)

The best way IMO is to cut the 3 prong thingys on the back of the emblem with pliers. Sand the bases with a dremel so its smooth. Than cut out small strips of 3m industrial double sided tape and outline the emblem. That emblems not going anywhere.
On a side note, I have a spare satoshi grille almost put together if anyone is interested. PM me.

If you want to go bargain basement you could use a hacksaw blade with some tape wrapped around it as a handle. Most of us have a Dremel or something like that.
