So i recently decided to remove my emblems and paint them black. When i went to install them, I used a level and took my time to make sure they were straight, but the "4runner" emblem still looks crooked to me?? I wanted to get some opinions from you guys cause maybe Im just seeing things. And ignore my toyota symbol missing in the picture, it has since been put on. Thanks in advance...

 

yep it's crooked

 

turn it to the right a lil bit

 

thanks, to me it looks like the "ner" part is bending down. Does it look that way to you guys?

 

I assume you made sure the 4runner was level before using the level on the emblems? It does look crooked.

 

clockwise an rch

 

I don't think the whole thing needs rotated...it looks level to me. It makes it hard to tell, because the whole damn picture is crooked.

I do, however, see why you thing the "ner" part is tilted down. It is, just barely. Depending on how OCD you are, you can either leave it alone or fix it. It's nearly impossible to install emblems as good as the factory did.

 

The Ner looks like it needs to go DOWN a mm

 

Ok now you used a level instead of a measuring tape??? it is off a little and the ner at the end is a little off, Measure from the top of the u up to the line and then from the last r up to the line, or measure from the line down to where you want the bottom of the emblem and use a dry erase marker to mark a straight line to place the emblem on as if you were writing on a ruled sheet of paper...

 

I may be screwy but the whole badge looks like it needs to go clockwise to me and the "4run" half is sitting more angled then the "ner" half.

 

How are they mounted, screws, glue?

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Yea the truck was level

 

I agree, the whole truck is leaning to the left. I think the emblem is level.

 

the truck was level or the ground was level these are both relative!!!!

 

Why don't you just leave them off? I think the rear hatch looks much cleaner this way.

 

OK asking again, how is it attached?????????????????

 

I played around with it in photoshop and it looks to me like it's either level or pretty darn close.

 

I guess you have to be there, Cameras distort and reflections convey false lines.

 

Just paint the hatch black.
