Hey Joe,
I've already check with Toyota's customer service...
Unfortunately, they will not provide these new badges for free.
These new badges can be purchased at you local Toyota dealers at about $23.00 each (special order only).
I did that, and they look great on the fenders (replacing the "limited" badges on mine).
Take care!
Ken

Ken, can you give me the part numbers you received. I was told there were none available in the US yet. I want to make sure they are ordering the right ones.
Thanks in advance.

The part sticker reads: PLATE, FR FENDER 75361-48020.
Hope that help!

You use a heavy fishing line to saw/cut through the tape then a cleaner to get the residue off. I called the dealer and they quoted me about 45 min to 1 hour at flat rate. For the cost, time and the fact it is still to cold here to do it right I'm having them do it next week when it's in the shop for it's first service.

It's not that bad of a job if you've done it before, but for the sake of time, and not wanting to wait till the weather is warmer here in the north east, I'm letting them do it.

Hi Joe,

I actually had the same question for the parts guy, and he told me to use a credit card to scrape off the old "LIMITED" emblem. Then, remove the rest of the residue with "Goof Off" or similar products. Clean and dry the area then add your new emblems. It took me about 15-20 minutes to do the whole job. Please note: If you plan to keep the old "LIMITED" emblems, you must take your time. The temperature is not an issue for me since I live in South Florida.

Good luck,
Ken
