Totally agree with @Fizzle. I spent a long time trying to remove the front badge without damaging the paint. Unfortunately I failed and chipped some paint off in the process it should be covered by the T badges though once they arrive. Don't be afraid to pull the badge hard to snap off the pins ( once all the adhesive is detached first )

Awesome post, Looking at starting the re-badge in February. Was wondering on the steering wheel. Since the part with the scion badge is on a moveable plate, would it not be easier to just replace that plate; then the whole steering wheel. If that is even possible?
Haven't had my fr-s for very long, forgive my ignorance if it was already stated. |

I am suprised no one has mentioned doing this but this is what I would do.
Change the Scion emblem to the standard Toyota emblem, now here is where I go different, I would also change the FR-S emblem to a SUPRA emblem. Why? Because I think this car should have been the new Supra, it should have been Toyota and it should have offered a twin turbo V6 or at least a turbo on the 4 cyl and it should have been called a Supra. |

A little off topic, but, this isnt a new supra, the only relation this car has to a supra is toyota/rwd/coupe. Wouldnt that also mean the IS C is a new supra? And before that the SC430?

Agreed. And this car are made in relation to the ae86 and it pretty much drive exactly like how well the ae86 does. So if anything the only relation of frs n supra is the similar coupe look that they have...

Id love to see toyota take the fr-s, widen the four corners out a bit for some 235 or 245 up front and 275 out back, and do something engine wise, maybe a twin turbo boxer 6 cyl? And make it a lift back, THEN call it a supra. Id buy that if it was under 60k

They're saying the next Supra will be priced to compete with the GT-R. So expect $80k-$100k

Yea, i know, i was just wishing
It also will be much better than my suggestion though. What i described was along the lines of what they did w celica/ celica supras back in the day. Not an all newly designed car. Its ok, ill have an frs turbo either way |

Also when he means let the goo gone soak, really let it soak for at least a good 5-10 minutes in the sun and use a lot of it. I've done it to two cars now and first time I didn't really let it soak much was a bitch. Second time was a lot easier after letting soak for 10 minutes. |

I would personally use new adhesive. Im sure theres options, but i have some "scotch extreme mounting tape" used to hold mailboxes to the side of your house, so its weather proof etc and its black and very similar to the stuff i pulled off my badges i think
