That is current plan, with the Scion ones. Still for the right price I'm easily converted from a do-it-yourselfer to a pay-someone-elser....

I just have thing for this flat black on the red car.

Yeah what I'll be doing it since I don't care so much about the Toyota badges would be to plasti dip the scion badge black and then paint in red the scion letters (on a firestorm FR-S)

Edit: Found some pics of what I want to do but I think those are low quality, 3rd party emblems so I am guessing if I do it on the original it will look better:

lol, it reminds me of all the peeps that by Chrysler 300 and trying to turn them into a Bentley to look like a baller.

I say if you want to change the badges because you like the look better, then do it. But if you want to re-badge your car because you don't want people to know your sports car is just a Scion, then buy higher end sports car.

Been a Toyota fanboy for a while now, actually my whole family is. My mom drives a 11 Rav4, my dad drives a 07 Camry and my sis drives a 93 camry. So I have to rebadge!

Do people think Toyota is cool and Scion is not? If thats the case then why not use a premium brand badge because the image Toyota has (atleast in the US) is an economy mainstream brand. Not a premium/luxo brand often associated with badge whores.

Not trying to offend just curious, I don't care what badge my car wears because I don't care who it impresses. I buy the car I want not the car I want to be seen in...
so agree with you!

Are the Subaru and Toyota emblems the same size? I've been thinking about swapping toyota emblems on my BRZ just so that I don't have blue emblems on a red car, haha.
