Would it be tacky to swap Scion badges to Toyota? is it easily done? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

dudeslife · 03-30-2016, 08:08 AM

Since Scion is going away, I'm wondering if it would look bad to swap badges and go Toyota. Would the badges match up ok or the fit would never be right? Thanks for any insight..

LOL I know what you were expecting but not gonna happen this time. OP did a nice introduction and participated in a couple of threads before asking the silly question. Makes a difference in my eyes.

Dude (well now that user name is going to be confusing) the swap to Toyota badges is easy and relatively cheap. You can get all your info here - http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25659

But... Why swap? Scions will never be rare or raise in value because of the badging but a few years down the road a Scion badged car will be more unique and stand out in the crowd. With time much of the Scion stigma seen in some places will fade and they will be accepted again.

There are a number of threads on it already. Yeah, they will fit, but now that the FR-S is wearing a Toyota badge, badge-swappers look double-secret-stupid. What's wrong with a Scion badge now that there wont be any new ones?

Sorry OP I just assumed you were another guy thats too lazy to search for something basic, There has been a lot of that lately around here.

haha fine, Tcoat what about the "what is this metal tile in my wheel" guy, you see that thread yet???

I wouldn't call a dollar discount "wicked deal".

But then again, I am Asian...

My beef is not so much the silly questions it is the people that seem to think we are some automated question answering machine and don't think of us as people but just a very specific form of Google. These are the guys who's very first question is "I want louder for cheap what should I do?".

The metal tile one is just Lup being Lup and I am used to his silly questions.

Front bumper swap with a 2017 seems pretty much your only option. Is Google down right now?
