Thanks for sharing your thoughts and we hear your comments.

It's going to be difficult to make the emblem 100% flush because:

1) The factory Scion emblem is affixed to the OEM airbag unit.
2) Removal of the factory Scion emblem requires a fair amount of work, especially removing excess rubber inserts to make the emblem area completely flat.

While the Toyota emblem (add-on) may be sticking out a bit, the intention is allow an easy application without removing the factory Scion emblems. Most importantly, it completely covers the factory Scion emblem, which is important when it comes to any emblem upgrade. With the Toyota emblem, it's a simple yet cost effective way to cover the Scion emblem, without having to do custom work or purchase a JDM Toyota 86 airbag.

It is possible to make the emblem with a matte finish instead of a gloss surface. We can customize this if there is a demand for a matte finish.

Cheers!
