Engraving and printing are different. The engraver is still going to have to take the file and convert it to a vector format like .ai or .eps. They won't be able to work directly from a Jpeg or bmp file but it will give them something to start working with. It should be no prob for the shop, but expect to be charged for converting it if you want an exact replica.

 

Thanks everyone that should help a lot, does anyone know the length from left to right and the height from top to bottom both going from the middle of the emblem just so I give them one more thing to work with?

 

If you hit the link above, that i worked so hard to find for you, you can see the size right there. That is the size of the plaque, or damn close to it.

 

these are the pics i have of mine

 

thats total BS

you should get on the horn about the dealership messin up your stuff and bad mouth them and take your business elsewhere (if you could) id gett on the horn with toyota USA and have them document the dealer and stuff about the mishap. stuff like that shouldnt happen to any car LE scion or VR4 Galant or any other car with a special number on the dash.

 

It sucks I know, but I can sort of see the logic from Toyota. This keeps every Tom, Dick and Harry from creating their very own Limited edition and trying to pass it off as the real thing. The market becomes saturated and unstable for their precious Release Series.

 

Yeah we tried going thru a lot of things and no one can make a real duplicate. I hope someone can make a good copy of it that will look atleast as close to as possible the orignal thing. I just don't exactly what it was made out of so I don't know how to make it look exactly correctly.

 

i used to work at a trophy shop and i was the engraver there. You would need to go to an engraving place that had a laser engraver to do that kind of badge. And that material looks like brushed aluminum. Its very possible of doing it. Not too hard at all.

 

Our local dealer had a bunch of "limited edition" tC's for a while. All had a similar badge (nothing overly special about the tC's, just a white tC with all options on it, no real discount).

All of them had the exact same badge in them (same style anyway). So they shouldn't be to hard to re-create.

 

Can someone please give me the info for the emblem so I know how big it is at from left to right and from top to bottom so the engraver has more info to work with?
