Why did you rebadge?

I've seen countless threads where people rebadge their 86s. I'm just wondering why YOU have rebadged or are thinking about doing it to yours.

EDIT: Sorry, just realized I should've left an option to see about how many do/don't rebadge.

I prefer the look of the Toyota badge, in the warmer weather the scion badges will get dumped for Toyota Badges and a TRD badge will replace the FR-S badge

I swapped to the Toyota badge because it is symmetrical so it looks more appealing to me.

I'd like to subtly change my "SUBARU" lettering to say "RUGARU" if I could find the matching letters.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone rebadge their brz. Maybe add sti' but never replace subaru.

I'm still looking for a used Subaru emblem for the rear trunk. I'd like to have Toyota up front and Subaru and the back. I always liked confusing people...

I don't want to pay $60 for an emblem. Though if i don't find one soon, I'll have to go ahead and buy it.

"Insecure" should be a choice as well.
