Is anyone else going to take the badges off their FRS?

The only hood ornament I want is a tall blonde or redhead :P

I wasn't think of doing any sort of de-badging/badge swap (except if they maybe give us the Toyota-version red "Boxer 86" fender badges), but that sounds like a nice low-key, cheap aesthetic upgrade.

I like how the JDM cars have only the Toyota emblem on the rear, so I will be removing the FR-S badges, then replacing the Scion emblem when I can get my hands on Toyota ones.

1) too bad we don't get fog lamps

2) too bad we dont get the headlamps from toyota

3) I would probably plastidip them to black.

How is this relevant to the thread?

I wanted to rebadge, but then I realized Im not a fan of toyota anyways. Id rather have Subaru badging to be honest since it is a Subaru and most of the other parts are stamped Subaru. However it seems its probably not worth the trouble. Im just gonna black out all existing badging and leave it at that.

relevant because i dont see how rebadging the car to toyota makes it "JDM". it makes you play pretend thats all.

This is a thread about emblems and badges though. Why are you discussing fogs and headlights?

The badges really aren't that bad, they are more of a pewter color

[raphymartinez]

Anyone know if the badges on the FR-S are the same size as say the Camry badges?

Why re-badge it? well... I'm 32 years old and Scion is a younger brand (yes I know 32 isn't really old but u know what i'm saying). I know it's mostly a Subaru but since I'll be buying the Scion version i would like to put Toyota badges on it to at least keep it in the family.

I agree, they didn't look as bad in person as I thought they would. Still, I've got the black badges stuck in my head now and they won't go away! I think it goes back to my MK1 MR2 days when it was red with black whale tail, mud flaps and badges.

What? Wait, what? 32 is old? Damn... I must be old then. I'm only 3 yrs different than you. I've met several 40's & even 50's ppl wanting this car. They didn't give a damn if it's coming out Toyota, SCION, or Subaru. I think one dude was saying he wanted to put Datsun emblem on there LOL (he was old Fairlady fan)

I wouldnt be surprised if I see a GT-R badge on it at some point or one that says VTEC... Oh it happens...
