What year is your truck? Is the center emblem called a satoshi? If that's what it's called, that's what I want to do to my 1990 4runner. I don't like the TOYOTA lettering.

I imagine you can get some tabs at your local autoparts store. If not, there is always junk yards.

*Edit*

Looks really good.

Someone should correct me if I'm wrong but i believe that satoshi was the original maker of a mod that used the old toyota style lettering on a 3rd generation 4runner. Looks really clean and cool.

By the way, excellent grill design, I really dig it.

chrome
I know alot of people on this forum don't like chrome but I think it looks good on white. Needed to replace valance so I picked up a chrome one. Now I just need to do something with grill.
