How to Install a Matte Black Steering Wheel Emblem Cover (3rd Gen Tacoma 2016–2023)

Blacking out the chrome on your 3rd gen Tacoma is one of the cheapest visual upgrades you can do — and the steering wheel emblem is the one you stare at every single drive. Here's how to install a matte black steering wheel emblem cover in under 20 seconds, with no tools.

What you need

  • A matte black steering wheel emblem cover (fits 2016–2023 Tacoma)
  • An alcohol wipe or microfiber cloth
  • That's it. No tools, no disassembly.

Step 1: Clean the factory emblem

Wipe the chrome emblem on your steering wheel with an alcohol wipe or a damp microfiber cloth. Let it dry fully. Adhesive bonds best to a clean, dry surface.

Step 2: Test-fit the cover

Hold the cover over the factory emblem and line it up. It should sit flush over the existing emblem with no gaps at the edges.

Step 3: Peel and stick

Peel the 3M adhesive backing, press the cover firmly over the emblem, and hold for 10–15 seconds. Done.

How long does it last?

The cover uses genuine 3M automotive adhesive. Ours carries a lifetime warranty — if it ever peels or lifts, we replace it free, for life.

Fitment

This cover fits the 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma (3rd gen). It installs over the factory emblem on the driver airbag cover — install at your own discretion.
