Subaru badges on FRS?
 
has anyone done this? is this an easy swap?
I know the badge on the steering wheel would be a pain.

although i don't support the idea, it should be as easy as rebadging to toyota. you'd run into the same issues regardless though (steering wheel, floor mats, wheel center caps, etc.).

I think you might have a hard time with it since the Subaru badges might be larger than Toyota and Scion. Find some pictures and take a look.

I would only think the front badge would be the issue, if there is an issue.

The front badge will not be an issue, it's actually smaller than the FRS badge and the shape on the nose is basically the same between the two cars - BRZ just has and indented space for the Subaru badge to rest in and looks worse without a badge in place. I may go with the Subaru badge on front, but for now I'm running badge-less except for the piston badge I put on the trunk to replace the scion badge.

i was gonna do this too haha. i was wondering if people would hate but honestly it would be retarded for them to since its actually a subaru. from the outside the only real difference is just the front lights, fender inserts, and bumper which I bet alot of people wouldn't even realize most the time.

One day I'll find someone to trade me bumpers and I'll have Toyota badges on a brz bumper lol

still regardless of that...i would personally rock scion rather than toyota badges. maybe i'm just so tired of seeing so many carollas and camrys everywhere. i feel like subaru seems the most prestigous out of the three lol.

Understood everyone has a different view I respect that. I have had 5 Tundras now and use em daily in harsh environments and they've never let me down. Also had a Celica and several friends with Supras so I kinda am abit of a Toyota fanboy I suppose? :D

Just wait. Someone's bound to start a thread about swapping Scion badges onto a BRZ if they haven't already.

Well I don't know why everyone makes such a big deal about rebadging the car as most people will know which one you have anyway.

Toyota..Scion...Subaru who cares they are the same company as Toyota owns part of Subaru.

Really just love the awesome car Toyota and Subaru made for all of us. :happyanim:
