DIY - Scion FR-S "Scion" to Toyota "T" Badge - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Just did mine, front and rear. Used a hair dryer and a soft plastic putty knife. Front was the worst, the rear popped off and about 98% of the adhesive stayed on the scion emblem. Rolled the rest of the adhesive off with a plastic caulking tool and cleaned up with WD40. Wiped everything down with rubbing alcohol, waxed and set the new emblems. Also removed the vinyl/plastic "Scion" from the top of the rear bumper. All in all, much better.

bug and tar remover did a great job breaking down the adhesive and took only a few repeats for the front. really happy with the new T badges and missing frs.

haha fishing line

thats pinoy style

doing mine soon

Some braided fishing line (instead of mono-filament) works awesomely. Acts as a little saw, and it was easy to cut through the "pegs". Here's my after shots:

Thanks to this guide and the plasti-dip-your-emblem guide, I was able to pull this off:

This would look great as an airbag emblem replacement with a urethane background to make it factory looking

Black Toyota emblems here too:

That's a cool idea. Been looking at the airback badge replacement threads. I'd love to do that if I could just find a dang way to get custom badges made easily and for a non-outrageous price...

Lol sounds like a good idea! Though I'm not sure anyone with a non-$50k+ 3D printer will be able to print out something with decent enough quality/"resolution" to where you'd wanna slap it on your airbag or body-panel...

But I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows somebody!

Looks really good man! Where'd you get your badge for the steering wheel? I need to do that while I figure out my custom badge idea...

Here's mine so far.

AllDayJonRay · 03-07-2013, 06:44 PM

Ordered my Black "T" badges today from SpeedFactory. Can't wait to de/re-badge my Ultramarine. The official start to the dark blue / matte black theme!

Mmmmmm.

It looks like the FR-S badge (on the trunk lid) doesn't have pegs. Is that right? Sorry, I may have missed it if this has been answered before, but I honestly have looked but could not find the answer.
