Do the Tundra Emblems use holes?

[kdawg]

Does anyone know if the emblems on the '07 Tundras use holes to secure them? I want to take the emblems off the doors to have my truck lettered but I want to make sure if I take them off they won't leave holes. I'm talking specifically about the "Tundra" emblems on the front doors.

Usually the Door adhesive emblems don't use any placement pins but i don't have any new ones to look at to give you a 100% no.

I actually called my dealer and the body guy there said he couldn't say 100% either but he did say that Toyota hasn't used pins in a while. But he also couldn't sayy 100% becuase he hasn't done work on an '07 door yet.

I work in the paint shop at the Texas plant and there are no holes when we send the painted bodies to Assembly. I can guarantee you that they are not drilling holes in a painted door!

Come on down, we are building about 700 trucks a day now. Mostly C-cab's (or are they called double cab's now?). We will start building the Crew Max (we call it a D-cab still) in a couple of months. It is all pretty amazing, the pictures I could show (if I wanted to get fired), the stories I could tell. Paint booths about as long as football fields, almost 100 robots swarming around cabs and decks as they move through, then baking in ovens bigger than most school gyms.
But the toyota quality comes from the people. Visually inspecting the bodies in tunnels with 100's of flourescent light bulbs to show the smallest defect. And this is done after e-coat, primer and topcoat.
Why does your Toyota cost more? That is why! It's the pride, it's the love, it's a Toyota!

Good to know some people still take pride in there jobs. That's part of the downfall of the Big 3. Unions didn't help either. It's a nice looking truck, and I hope they preform and last as well as some of the older Toy's.

Unions are dinosaurs from the past and will soon die out (my 02 here) - they have done many good things in the past for all types of workers all over the world - but in the world economy we find ourselves in, with offshore cheapness and a complete lack of any kind of accountability or farsightedness from our gov't officials, we have to compete in the real world on our own now. It takes so much to produce a quality product of this magnitude and see it marketed correctly such that it will actually sell enough units to make profit - and thereby ensure it's own future - I am proud to be one of those who owns one of these trucks - they frigging rock man!!
And that reminds me of the ending of dumb and dumber when they are offered the job as lotion boys for the tropicare girls on the bus - every high school boys dream, and 30yr old guys and 40, and 50 and.........
