Hi everyone,
I'm here to introduce my small product made for the latest generation Tacoma, I call it "Devil Horns". I'm a young machinist by trade and my friend Robert drives a tacoma. He asked me to fabricate something unique for his truck, so with a few rough ideas and some spare time I took on the challenge. What began as an idea was transformed into a solid aluminum work of art. Not long after that people began appreciating the quality of my work willing to buy a few more from me... so I decided to fabricate more. The price of work in a machine shop is very expensive; it's all about precision, quality and craftsmanship. The cost to make something in a machine shop runs from $45 to $75 per hour average, not here. I sell these on ebay for $62.00 plus $6.50 shipping for each emblem($68.50 total). I will sell each "Devil horns" emblems for TN members for $58.00 with shipping included, I only accept Paypal. I don't make much money really but it does help me pay my bills, books and tuition for college. I have an AS degree, 2 certificates and I'm curently working on my BS degree in mechanical engineering. I have been making custom work for cars, trucks and bikes for 3 years now and hopefully I become and engineer someday with a small machine shop on the side. I love my job, I love my education and I love what I do. The work of a machinist still amazes me, the knowlege and skills to turn a piece of metal into something totally functional is truly a gift. I have plans on making them for older style Tacoma, new and old Thundra and Supra. I also have some for previous generation Corolla... It was hard saying NO to my girlfriend when she asked me for one... . Feel free to ask any questions and thank you for your time.

Reason: correction on sentence
So far a few people have asked me how can they get one of these, well it's very simple. I deal with my customers over the internet simply because I'm a full time worker and a part time college student, I have very little time in my hands. Paypal is the fastest and easiest way to send money over the internet, their service is free of charge and you only need a debit card. Once you sign up, you can click "send payment" or ask me to bill you to the e-mail adress that you have provided paypal. Once the transaction is complete, I will send you an emblem to the adress that you have provided paypal so make sure it's always updated. I insure my emblems in case they get lost and also i provide my customers with a tracking number. Kent (aka Pb) is a TN administrator. He can tell you I am a reliable person, in fact I just finished a custom Iphone docking station that he asked me to make him. I will deliver his part today.

That depends on the diamond pattern on your grill. I can send you pictures through your e-mail and you compare the dimension of the holes to the openings of your grill. shoot me a PM with your e-mail adress and I'll send you the pics.

Hey guys,
I have about 20 emblems left and l just want to get rid of them. I have more work making custom parts for cars, trucks, bickes... etc. so I'm cutting down on devil horn emblem production. I'm cutting the price down to $50.00 for each emblem shiped, I'll be gone after december 15 and won't be back for a good month, maybe more. I'll try to have the ones for 96-04 tacoma as I'm waiting on a grill, after that I'm not sure if I want to keep selling Devil Horns emblems. I had my kicks making them but like everything else they have to come to an end.
