Toyota emblems all over my FR-S Monogram, no Scion. Could this be factory?
 

Hey everyone,

I'm posting some pictures here to show you.
The steering wheel and the front bumber and trunk both have black Toyota emblems instead of Scion. The only place I can find "Scion" is on the radio.
It's a monogram edition so I know it's somewhat special.
I guess I'm just hoping that it is special enough to have earned these things out of the factory and not that they were put on the vehicle by its previous owner.
Google doesn't come up with any type discussion when I type in stuff like "monogram fr-s toyota emblem."
Really hoping that someone can confirm this either way.

Thank you very much!

Previous owner.

Yeah. its a used car.

lol no.

Try looking under that steering wheel badge

Sick leds does the monogram have a supercharger?

Plasti-dipped side vents are definitely not OEM. BTW, they're in need of a touch-up on the edges, they're peeling.

Thanks.
It is not supercharged.
There's nothing done to it besides the stripping of Scion identification.
That is probably the biggest reason I found it unlikely that someone changed all of these things.

Dude you must be joking, its all plastidip crap and a cheap swap of an emblem on the steering wheel. Hope the seller of the car didnt blow smoke in your face with this "special" of special editions. :bellyroll:

Yeah, I too hope you didn't get ripped off when you bought the car.

From what I have read here I think about 80% of the FRSs out there have been badge swapped.
If you dig through the forum you may even find the previous owner.

No it is not factory as others have mentioned. I have a monogram edition so I know. Although it has several features seen on the GT86 overseas and the BRZ Limited here, it is still badged Scion FR-S inside out.

The previous owner of your car changed the exterior badges to black toyota ones, did a cheap cover of the steering wheel emblem (which I would take off for safety reasons in the event of Airbag deployment - Scion one will be underneath), they swapped wheels centre caps and dipped/wrapped fender 86 badge black.

If you have any monogram questions, I would be happy to help out :) Congrats on the purchase.

Curious what the dealership told you re: the badges.

I think you guys may be reading more into the OP's question then is there. There is no indication in anything he said that the dealer was misleading him in any way. He was just wondering (and maybe hoping a little) if it was different.
I am a bit jealous since I would have loved to buy a Lava Monogram but we didn't get them in Canada.

I wouldn't be surprised if the car had been modified at one time and then switched back to stock before selling.

A hot lava monogram is incredibly rare though, assuming it has a manual transmission.
