Hole Behind Rear Scion Badge On Trunk For Toyota Logo Swap - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

JDMPR725 · 08-12-2019, 10:47 PM

I'm working on swapping out the scion logo badges, 86 piston side badges & the FR-S badge on my 2013 Scion FRS. I ran across a small stopping point when I was able to remove the rear scion badge but found a random hole in the middle of where the badge would be. It's a pre-made hole that I'm guessing its originally designed that way. It could be an access point for a maintenance hole for the trunk mechanism or maybe for a rear-view camera but I could be wrong. I put my new gloss black Toyota badge but the whole still somewhat shows. I was able to cut a small aluminum tape shape to cover it up but I had the wrong touch-up paint pen for the paint.

Has anybody ran across this situation and have done anything to fix it?

You mean the hole(s) that the badge attaches to the trunk with?

No. Theres an actual hole a bit smaller than a penny the dead center behind the badge. It turns out I did a bit of research and found out that 10 series cars have this because theyre supposed to have a scion badge that lights up and that hole with the cable is the power for it.

Im just figuring out how to patch it and find a way to paint it with the new badges on.

the best solution is to get a replacement trunk garnish.
