id get engineered to slide pressed into the back!
im sure you could make up a template at work lol
Gordon
French the tailgate and emboss the engineered to slide logo into it instead.

I’ve seen a build where a guy cuts the letters out, then welds them back in on different angles so the word is all wonky, actually looked alright, can’t remember the damn link tho!
What about shaving the letters, then getting “ETS” water-jet cut out of some metal in the same font, then weld that on as close to OEM finish as possible?
rowan
get a new tail gate out plate and get nissan punched out seeing as it its more nissan that toyota

Gordon speaks the truth
krish

Aaron
+1 for Gordons idea
Grupert Awesome
Keep the Toyota writing,
just be awesome and badging that says
“Petrie Special Edition”
“ETS Collection”
Or something cool like that.

I had the same idea as Gordon.

Also, do the same for the badge in the front grille.
BOOM.

I agree with the first comment… Get “Engineered to Slide” Stamped into the back of it! Will look sick 😀

Toyota writing in the bin
Nissan badge required

Haha, its all going to be FRP paneling so i might slip an ETS CNCed logo in there before the layup process
Nick
yeah, that’d be cool. i reckon do it with ‘ENGINEERED’ written exactly like the toyota badge is, but with the ‘to slide’ bit around it like your actual logo. I’d look factory at first glance, then people would realise its not. badass!
MitchS14
Shit yeah, that would be perfect.
Nick
another trick ive seen, which might be easier and cheaper than cnc’ing, is to get it printed to vinyl, then just lay that on the panel before glassing. if its not thick enough, just layer them up until they are. depends if you have cnc access though i suppose
