    Late in 2018 and early in 2018 the TRD logo embossed on the front skid plate was painted red. I really like this look and want to do this on my early 2018 skid plate. Can anyone tell me what color the "TRD red" is? I'd like to match it up as closely as possible to what the new ones look like that come off the factory floor.

    I think someone sell stickers for those that matches the new style.

    Tuffskinz makes stickers that match.
    You may be able to find a buyer for it and upgrade to the new one, I know I’d prefer the older style without the red letters, but they are getting harder to find.

    Paint the skid and add Tuffskinz. I used bedliner as my previous rattle can job didn't last.

    Does anyone know if the TRD that is embossed in the 4runner skid plate is the same size? I have to think it is, but am not sure.

    Tuffkinz marketing manager told me the Tacoma and 4runner are not the same. However, the FJ and the 4runner are the same so I just need to get the FJ kit.
