It doesnt matter if you change the badge. The car is registered as "Toyota FRS" in service ontario.

I'd be interested in you badges, OP! Thinking about going from 86 to FR-S.

why? 10-11-2016 08:40 AM
seriously how many threads like this do we need? One time was enough. No one gives a crap if you rebadge anything. There is a license plate for a reason.

Do whatever you want there is no law. Keep in mind that if you do anything silly we will make fun of you.

I have had my badges changed for a couple years now and no issues, so as many others have said you can change your badges to anything you want them to be as long as your license and registration is unaltered (obviously).

Case in point, I was just pulled over yesterday for going 60 on a country road that they had just recently brought to 40 for 1 block for shits and giggles :sigh:. The officer did not question the badges on the car, although he did ask me what model Toyota it was - looks like the moron couldn't read

A for effort on that one LOLL

Apparently our cars look like an Alfa Romeo 4C, so much so that I was waiting for my wife outside a restaurant in downtown Burlington when an older woman just opens the door and gets in my car - took her a second and my blank WTF stare to realize she got in the wrong car and she rushed out to the red 4C parked right in front of me :slap:

That one can't be related to the badges though :P

Thanks! I have a monogram edition so my car is 99% identical to a Euro GT86 inside and out.

Must have been both red. To some that means cars are almost identical. Had some woman in an orange mini van tell me "Oh look we have almost the same car" once.

Yes they were - still doesn't look the same at all to me, but I think to non-car enthusiasts they see 'red two-door' and think its the same car. My wife said she understands how the lady could have mixed them up.

Your minivan story though...that's on another level of ridiculous comparisons hahahhaha - the only thing she should say is similar is the colour, the similarities end there.

What's funny about all these rebadges is that a "real" 86 looks like this in back:

Nah, that's just MY17+ badging.

The 2013-16 looked like this, Toyota and GT86 badges. Some variations existed depending on the market.

PetrolioBenzina 10-11-2016 10:57 AM
The point is that the rebadge is a bit pathetic, whatever you do. IMO, of course.
