Scion to Toyota
 

Just a couple question from switching the emblem from Scion to Toyota on the front bumper.. I searched but can't find the correct answer...

According to this thread..

How exactly do I change the scion logo to a toyota on the front bumper?
The back seems simple, but the other thread says front emblem badge push nuts... (Sorry for being slow) :iono:

I read those DIY Threads a lot of times... But somehow it's not sinking in..:bonk:
Can I just debadge the front emblem like the back emblem?

My understanding is there will be two holes in your hood if you simply de-badge.

If I'm not mistaken, the back has 2 holes too right?

I'm planning just remove the 2 scion badges, and put on 2 toyota badges. I can use the same exact method on debadging the front like I did with the back right?

Short answer yes remove and put new ones on easy

There are 2 holes on the front and 2 on the back. The back comes off really easily. The front emblem pins mushroom out on the ends so they break off when prying off the emblem.

Yup... Once you loosen the adhesive, just gently pry it until the snaps off, super easy... The front did take a bit more elbow grease to get the adehesive off

Thanks guys. Sorry for being a idiot. :iono: Just to confirm... Don't wanna mess up my new baby... I can just remove the front emblem like the back, but I have to pry out the front emblem right? After that I can just stick the Toyota emblem on there.

Scion to Toyota
 

Yessir. I felt the same as you, and it does take some force to break the clips holding it in, but do it patiently and carefully and you won't hurt anything...

I was impatient and headed to a car show, rushed it and messed up my 3m clear bra a bit... I was initially pissed, but some wax and a credit card fixed it pretty nice. Lol

Sorry for thread hijacking. I just joined this forum about questions about my car. I'm about to get a white FRS and want to debadge it. Are dealership willing to debadge my car and remove their dealer sticker on it? Just asking here so I don't sound stupid in front of them.

Probably dealership dependent... But they should absolutely remove their emblem if they put one on.

When I break the front emblem clip, is there going to be any negative effects? Also, the weather is cold right now, so you guys recommend debadging now, or wait until later?

Cool. Definitely going to get them to remove dealer badging. Hope they don't ruin the paint.. I was thinking if I'm going to debadge, why not let them debadge it while they are removing dealer badging too..

Most dealers will go above and beyond to make the sale, just tell them you want that done before you purchase and take it off the lot.

ha .. I guess I should have the dealer debadged my car before I left the lot.

Glad you got your info and gl with the rebadge. For future ref when you start in the right thread (the dig in this case) and still don't duly understand, try posting the question there.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks for all the help guys. I'll probably be debadging next week.

Anyone know if cold weather is okay to debadge?

Sure, you're heating it up anyway so it won't really matter. But hot weather is preferred since you can leave it to bake in the sun for a bit

Got ya. So basically the same as the back, remove the adhesive, but gotta break the pins right?

Bingo.

Those Toyota badges would look even better in gun metal than chrome or blackened chrome.

FWIW I used a lot of Goo-gone and rocked it back and forth while sticking a card through the adhesive. In fact I followed the same video you posted when I did it too. The prongs/pins are still on the emblems, not broken (In case I wanted to go back to Scion).
