I have heard people mention it but haven't seen one.
I haven't swapped so the opening is directly over my
distributor on my 7A. I could probably make one easy
enough if I knew what it looked like. I thought about using
some 1/16" thick abs and cutting the shape on a cnc and mounting
it under the grate if anyone else needs or wants one I should be
making mine sometime in the next few weeks. If anyone has a
pic of a real one It would be greatly appriciated. smile.gif

I haven't really decided what to do on mine yet I just had
hellica emblem file at home I need to bring a dxf file of the trd logo
from the shop, I'm just kind of playing with some Ideas right now.
As far as material we have a bunch of stuff laying around. We build
scanners for aircraft inspection so all our finishes have to be crazy good.
As far as black with red it could be anodized black then paint the logo
red with high heat paint then wiped clean with acetone, the emblem would
be a recessed pocket so the paint would stay in. I would like to find something
like the louvered stuff they use for the real ones, it would be way easier and faster
than slotting a bunch of stuff and it would keep with the OEM look.
Whatever it is I am going to have to be able to do as many as I can in
one day because that is all the machine time I will have. I am also doing
some angel eyes for my high beams the same day out of flouresent acrylic,
so that limits the time on these even more. I'll check on the material today. smile.gif
