So I did this prototype of the 86 logo to put on the front bumper grill. What are your opinions on it. Nice, ugly, would put on your car, will not, ect. So go ahead pour it on me.

That's all you. Although if you were able to replace the Scion emblem with an 86 emblem.... I think that'd look great.

might be better to make a mesh grill with the 86 logo in it

i_4got 12-10-2012 10:52 PM

It seems out of place. It looks like someone through a plastic lid on your grill.

On another note, what is that on your roof? Did you wrap the two sides only?

Carbon fiber wrap, I did the mirrors and front lips also as seen in pics above

I just want to add something. I wasn't trying to discourage you or anything, it's just that you asked so I told. If you like it, then our opinions don't matter.

If the Commissioner shines that symbol into the night sky, do you arrive from the 86 cave? :bellyroll: Sorry, could not resist..... :bonk:

TweakLawl 12-11-2012 12:19 AM

Not really my style so I wouldn't add it, but it does look cool.

enjoi23 12-11-2012 12:49 AM

Maybe if it was chrome? idk..

Oh it's ok guy's, don't feel bad for negative comments. I want honest thoughts and ideas. Don't forget this is just a prototype, the idea is to put the 86 logo on the grill like a maserati, how it's gonna be or color is not define yet.

Ahh, I see what you're going for. I don't think it would work for the 86 logo though. It's too circular and bulky for that purpose. It's not sleek at all.

If it was recessed and black to match it might be a cool subtle detail.

13 FR-S Veteran 12-11-2012 11:05 AM

I think it's tacky. Looks like something that should be on your refrigerator...not your car.

It's way too big for my taste. However...like others have stated, I can certainly appreciate your efforts...and more importantly...your enthusiasm!

Anduz 12-11-2012 11:05 AM

You wanted honest opinion, and the honest opinion is that's pretty ugly, it's too... IN YOUR FACE!.

goood effort :)

Turbowned 12-11-2012 09:20 PM

I could almost see it if you painted the logo onto the grille itself, like if you made a template and spray-painted the logo in white on the grille. It wouldn't stand out quite as much but would still achieve a similar effect. Maybe?

The difference between the FR-S and the Maserati is... that the FR-S isn't a Maserati. Nor is the Maserati an FR-S. The Maser can pull off certain styling choices that the FR-S cannot, and vice-versa.

I agree compering a Maserati to the GT-86 is just like comparing cows to horses...ya they both have 4 legs but that is about the only similarities that you can draw.....see what i did there you thought i might do apples and oranges but oh no went original on you with the comparison....well a bit original.

adprokid 12-12-2012 12:49 AM

Its ugly

1strwdcar 12-12-2012 01:01 AM

Its no bad maybe some daylight pics

Estey 12-12-2012 01:10 AM

I think for this to work you would need to completely redesign the grill pattern to flow with the 86 symbol

gmookher 12-12-2012 12:09 PM

Replace with bat symbol please

CaptainSlow 12-12-2012 12:20 PM

Don't think it looks good, sorry.

Agreed. However, if you could modify the logo, say, remove the circle encasing and then enlogate it up/down, you may be able to pull it off.
