Anyone put Toyota badges on yet?
 

Wondering if anyone put Toyota badges on yet or are going to.

I'm along time Toyota fan and was thinking if it would be strange to put Toyota badges on the BRZ. I wonder what the Subaru service center would think.

Here you go:

awesome are you gonna remove the frs and replacing it with 86 ??

I've never liked any factory badging other than the old Mazdas. I would take them all off, aside from the 86 decal on the front fenders. My Celica has no Toyota badging left, just the "GT-S" and a blue Celica Drgaon.

I really want to do this as one of my first mods, any tips or advice on how I should do this? I'm kind of a noob when it comes to car mods, even something as simple as this, I don't want to screw it up.

The badges are glued on. You can use dental floss to saw the glue holding the badges on off if you can't simply pull them off. I replaced the badges on my SC400 back in the day this way.

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

I'm curious, does that also work for side-door-impact "bars?" The ones that are meant to stop people from denting your car by opening their doors into it?

Just to add to the above there may be little prongs on some of the badges so be mindful of that when removing the badges. Also, if you need to reattach your old badges for any reason, 3M makes an emblem adhesive for this purpose. New emblems should come with adhesive but you may need to use a little Goo Gone on your car if any adhesive from the old emblems remains.

Do you mean body side moldings? For cars on which they're standard they're usually held on by multiple clips whereas when they're optional they're held on with an adhesive.

Yes that's what i'm talking about. Dental floss works for the adhesive ones, presumably? (Like on a Mazda3)

I've never used it for that but I don't see why not.

Yea I've already researched a few toyota emblems that come with 3m adhesive. I'll be gentle and careful when taking off the badge.

Will be doing this at my first mod, along with removing the FR-S and changing the wheel caps to Toyota instead. Too bad the steering wheel is an entire assembly replacement, so that will have to wait... a while.

You need to check out the DIY section on the forum. It has a great step by step guide for removing the badges.

Slightly off topic, but I highly suggest letting Toyota know you want to see the car as a Toyota, so much so that you're swapping badges. Those of you who have done badge swaps, send pics of your cars with the Toyota badges to Toyota. They take into account what people say and do, so if you let them know there may be a smidge of hope they release the Toyota version. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It's worth a shot.

They have "contact us" buttons at the bottom of all their websites, Toyota.com, Toyota.ca, Scion.com, Scion.ca, let them all know.
