No. I will do that for somebody asking a reasonable question that at least put an ounce of effort into looking for the answer.

I do not "search" for any threads to criticize and most certainly have not gone out of my way. The question you asked is one of the most common threads here but obviously too much work for you to look.
You did not ask for fun personal views you engaged in speculation that has already been disproved.
Not offended by the tread. Sad to see somebody too lazy or dumb to seek an answer to a very basic question without being spoonfed.

you've misunderstood the fb rules of deh interwebz.

1. nothing is forever, anything can and will be deleted to the whims of the creator.

2. no idea conceived earlier than 1 hour before hand has ever existed, or will exist in the future. therefore, all idea's are new idea's.

3.the internet is a global resource, specifically developed, created, and maintained for the sole person reading this at this very moment. refer to rule 1 for any negative feedback from others.

Logic would dictate that i retort once more with comments and insults in order to fuel your online false ego but honestly i really dont care. Im a car fanatic, passionate about my gt86 and keen to engage in useful and fun topics relating to the car. To everyone thus far who gave some really cool suggestions, thanks

Lol, His whole point is that you're approaching this the wrong way. If you stick around and actually get to know him by what he posts, this is not an ego thing whatsoever.

The entire point of forums is that it is a repository of information on a specific subject(in my case, i use forums to meet different people of a specific interest, and then get involved in all the other interests). Posting a new thread every time you have any new/different idea undermines the reason for all of the stored information of all the people that came before you with the same idea.

It's a facebook mentality, because facebook is entirely about the here and now, and makes it incredibly difficult to see what others are doing, or have done.

My suggestion moving forward is to stop expecting that any idea you have is new/different, and assume someone has done the same thing first somewhere and was kind enough to document it.

Any time i start a new project, the first thing i do is start a search of the very broad topic that i have in mind. For instance, when i started designing my brz's (future) drl/turn signal combo, i searched the forums to see what everyone else was doing and came across Acree's build where he had a similar idea, but came to a different conclusion.

The whole point of all this is to share ideas, and concepts, and that it is somewhere to find later. Rarely does anyone come up with an idea that hasn't been tried in some form or another before, and searching mean you don't hit the same pitfalls they did.

On topic: I got black badges to replace the silver, on my 2017 Solar Orange 86 it looks 100% better than the OEM chrome badges.

Oh, yeah, you need to search more, ask questions in existing threads if required, it keeps all relevant information in one location and makes finding information easy.

No matter how righteous your rebuttals are it is still a newb mistake.

Take it as constructive criticism and then google 1. "debadging toyota 86"

2. "Supra" or "Zupra"

Finally, go outside and do a skid, skids, like beer, makes everything clearer, well for a while anyway, it eventually gets all a bit cloudy.

I considered getting the badges blacked out, checked online with custom shops and youtube videos but im not sure the black badges on silver paint really looks good (Saw it on the orange 86's, it really looks awesome)

I would think that the badges plasti dipped, flat black, would look just fine on a silver car. Then, if you didn't like it, just peel it off -

DIY, it's easy. Removing them can be a pain, though. The rear has mounting pins you need to work around. Heat and dental floss.

Get a funky decal and stick it on there...
