"scion" is just a name. not a company. not a production company. it's not anything but a name. so nothing will be stamped scion.

Any input? If we think "yes," which Lexus has the proper sized badge?

Or tell me I'm just nuts...

My reaction when i saw the title of this topic on the main forum page was, "Oh don't you do it." I even said it out loud. 'Just my non-supportive 2 cents.

I secretly want to, but I won't. I'd also repaint my car the Mustang Grabber Blue and get a humongous spoiler (like the rocket bunny one), but I won't. I'm sure that it'll be cool the first few weeks but will wear off rather quickly.

No seriously. You know when you open the trunk the underneath is engraved Subaru in it. When I crawled under to changed out the reverse light the exhaust is engraved with Subaru. Just like my previous Lexus I found many Toyota parts in it. I'm sure the xA xB tC has parts / body panels engraved with the word scion on it right? But I haven't found a scion engraved part on this FR-S yet.

Yes I know it's a Toyota GT-86, Subaru BRZ Joint venture. But it's sold to me as a scion and I just still find it funny there is no actual "scion" part.

Scion, Toyota and Lexus are the same company.

Like GM is Chev, Holden, Opel, etc.

Parts on other scions are labeled Toyota.... Not scion since scion is the brand name and not the manufacturing company. Since Subaru builds the triplets I'm not at all surprised that the parts are stamped Subaru.... Since they are parts manufactured for Subaru so their plant can build the cars. Make sense?
