Stock fender garnish without 86 badge? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

DVNARC · 08-24-2015, 01:35 AM

I want to remove the side badges but there badge placement will still remain wondering if anyone has found any online or sale OEM without the badge?

Just put the BRZ fender garnish on it. It looks better anyway.

Seriously.

That's been my dream since day one. I bet someone could make a killing by bringing that to market. All the aftermarket fender panels-without exception as far as I'm concerned-look like sh*t. I'm torn between modifying the stock garnishes and having them painted...or just buying the stock BRZ panels. It really bugs me that the designers of these cars chose to emphasize the 1986 COROLLA influence so heavily. And those little piston badges are totally ambiguous anyway, no one can tell what they mean at a glance.

"Opposed pistons like a Subaru? Or like a Sports 800? Both? Ok. So what does the little Swastika mean? Oh it's an eighty-six? Why? Was the Sports 800 designed in '86? No? Did Subaru start producing boxers in '86? No? Oh ok. So why does it only have two pistons? Oh. A Corolla you say? Oh cool my parents have one! Wait what? What's a Hatchi-Roku? I'm so confused..."

I've seen some shaved/filled in, looked pretty good.

I don't know...it looks like it's missing something.

i think this is the one of the first "compliment" post i had read from you

Tcoat · 08-24-2015, 01:52 PM

Somebody on here (one of the newer guys?) had the whole thing filled so even the lines and "vents" are gone. Looked really good actually. Was in one of the "I had an accident" threads if I remember right.

Yep that's the one. Had it done with some repairs.

I'm a fan of making it a vent (lol) but probably won't for a very long time.

If the FRS style bothered me I'd pick up a BRZ one as well, no good looking aftermarket ones popped up in my 5 seconds of googling, but I'm sure a few more people will mention alternatives.

Edit: I REALLY like the idea of removing them altogether as above, but that would require a bunch of filler material and a respray if I'm not mistaken? Could definitely be done DIY and a couple hundred bucks to respray and blend the paint, although you may never match a white car...

funwheeldrive · 08-24-2015, 02:22 PM

I think the best looking vent is the USDM TRD vents that are on the RS 1.0. I'm hoping that someone makes replicas, or the price of the OEM ones go down over time.

Looks really good when @Johnny plays around with his camera.

I never did like the 86 piston badge fender garnish... was the one thing on the body that really didn't look right. When the TRD finned ones designed from the Griffon research car came out though I had to get them...absolutely perfect for the car; especially when you see them in person.

And 'shaved' looks really great!
