Factory Radio rebadge?
 
OK I can not seem to find a way to remove the Scion on the radio....a CLEAN way that doesnt remove the finish of the radio.

I have no REAL reason to get a new headunit. And would rather buy something like a tire or two then get a new radio honestly.

That being said...has anyone considered a decal like {TOYOTA} to go across there...know anyone who could make a decal like that, which would stand up to Sun light etc? Or if we could get a complete skin type decal to cover the whole radio? Like they have for Ipads and the like? Emailed an old friend who used to do my decals waiting to hear back but would like more opinions. Maybe someone knows of a place to get something like a black background with a white toyota to cover the SCION....

Back in the day, you could remove and rub off the labels on cellphones with a sugarcube. It never scratched the phone exterior, but got rid of the manufacturer decals pretty easily.

I've had success with clear tape. Place the tape on the logo, rub the tape with some force, peel tape back and hopefully it pulls the logo too.

A final one, sunblock sometimes gets rids of painted on logos. Ive found it doesn't eat away at plastic but allows paint to rub off.

As always, I'm not liable for any damages. I might try the sugarcube one out soon and let you know.

Anyluck with sugar cube? I have tried paint thinner and alcohol with no luck...I dont want to go with anything to harsh that will remove the finish from the radio...Would really like a decal to cover it up that isnt to tacky. I have no issues with having a factory radio...its probably last thing Ill change out...was on my EP3 will probably be on this too. Took 5 years to get to that point.

Anyone have any luck getting rid of the Scion logo on the factory HU? After de/rebadging the exterior and the steering wheel, it's one of my last remaining traces of "Scion" on the vehicle.

Not keen on swapping out the HU just for a re-badge, either.

I wonder if Magic Eraser might work? Those things are amazing.

I just used a small piece of carbon fiber vinyl and just put it over that lol But I would like to see what others have done for this as well.

Sort of off topic but relevant since I am looking to do the same to my Monogram Head unit.

I've seen some DIY on steering wheel debadging, but how are the above people removing/replacing the steering wheel badge?

How did you guys rebadge the steering wheel without spending $700 on the JDM one?

With the 20 dollar 86 logo someone's selling on the forum you can find it with a search its the logo with double sided tape, took me 2 seconds to put it over the scion logo, looks awesome. He sells chrome and flat black.
