Good news my dudes!

"Hello,

Thanks for your message. We will consider this request, however I can tell you another version FR-S steering wheel emblem will not be produced until all existing 86 versions have been sold. Sales have been very steady, therefore it shouldn't take more than a few months to deplete our stock.

We'll revisit your proposal at that time.

Best Regards,

Roger
Loden Emblems"

I would be in for a Toyota emblem that goes over the factory scion. The 86 logo is ok and better than the scion but I'd rather have the Toyota emblem

Sorry about starting another thread. But, I need to take a poll and cannot add/edit a poll into this thread.

I need to take a poll for Loden, to see which would sell more and which is more desired:

1. An "Overlay" - same exact size as the current Loden "86" emblem, which is slightly bigger than the recess/hole in the airbag; BUT, otherwise fits perfectly over the oem Scion badge as it was designed and intended to be used..as an "Overlay."

2. A direct "Replacement" - this would be the exact same size as the oem Scion badge(and slightly smaller than the current Loden "86" "overlay" emblem), which will fit perfectly inside the recess/hole in the airbag; BUT requires you to remove the oem Scion badge.

Thanks

If it was my my choice, I'd pick the "Replacement"

...but, it's Loden's decision.

We'll see what happens.

Replacement for me tooooo

UPDATE:

Loden tells me (if they will make this Toyota “T” emblem in 2-3 months) that they will only independently make it as an “Overlay” (ie: same exact size as the current “86” Loden emblem, that Cannot fit inside the recess/hole, and is NOT a full direct replacement.

….unless of course, we can convince them otherwise (more votes in the Poll please ), OR, if someone is willing to fully invest in producing it.

Additionally….

In order to make the more desired “Replacement”…it would require a 3rd party full investor, because they are not willing to carry this out independently (since they do not want, and actually discourage, making a “full replacement”…so making a “full replacement” will require someone to invest in full cost of production)

So, if you guys now any frs companies or car shops (or rich individuals, hehe) that may be interested in investing in this “full replacement” emblem idea…. please @hashtag them to this thread, message them, pm them or let them know somehow.

Quoted:

"New production runs have an MOQ of x1000pc + mold/tooling charges. It's not inexpensive. Any production requires a substantial investment which is normally reserved for OE accounts or large retailers.

Although the Loden brand name is fairly new, we have been in the rebadging business for over a decade. In our experience, the vast majority of customers want nothing to do with removing the steering wheel emblem (for obvious safety reasons). Therefore, we would discourage anyone from producing a full replacement steering wheel emblem.

Best Regards,
Loden Emblems"

"Good morning. Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding a full replacement emblem. This could be produced very easily in low production QTY from our laser cut stainless steel / polished material.

However, to replicate the OE badge ABS / mass production would be best. 2D aluminum w/ epoxy coating is also an option. However, neither of these projects is something we would carry-out independently. Either would require a 3rd party to invest fully.

We will check your poll thread at a later time to evaluate interest of the overlay T.

Best Regards,
Loden Emblems "
