Difficulty doesn't bother me, it's how I thought I had to remove the bumper or loosen the edges. Haha. I'll check out those vids when I get home, and maybe order everything. Then aside from the air bag and under body panels, my car should be similar to EDM/JDM. Haha

I got some flat black Toyota badges to put on but I've been lazy/skeptical.

Don't have a heat gun, but I hear a hair dryer works, as well as spraying the old badge with an adhesive remover and allowing it to penetrate for a few mins.

Still pensive, maybe someone can help me that has already swapped their badges.

Removing badges isn't that hard of a job. A hair dryer will definitely work as well, just make sure you don't use too much heat at a single time. Quick passes over the emblem will melt the glue enough to get something between the emblem and the car.

When I did mine, I just left it out in the sun for a couple hours, and then just used fishing line to carefully slice it off the adhesive. Then removed the residue with Googone.

I did the same process when I rebadged my bro's Prius c to the Aqua.

Since we're on the topic of mods that we want, JDM underpanels! Maybe these will be easier to get now since I believe the RS 1.0 comes with them?

I thought it was one of the limited edition BRZ that came with the under panels. I want them, but I park in a heavily graveled lot for work and already scrape and shovel gravel while driving in it, so I'm worried I'll just end up breaking them.

Clipdat · 04-20-2016, 05:43 PM

Oh yeah, I didn't even consider that. if you look closely it looks like they "extend" the bottom of the car by an inch or so.

If the RS 1 came with it, I don't think it was listed anywhere. We should ask Rachel. Haha. Sold her their RS 1, but I just don't recall seeing the panels listed anywhere. Then again, they didn't list the rear leather arm rest in my monogram. Lol

Even if it was in the RS1.0 it is hard to get parts from that car as most of the parts are vin locked.

I could have gotten the winglettes from one

But considering how they were ~400 bucks each, I said no thanks (I was just curious on how much they were).

Where did you guys order your Toyota clear side markers from (not Helix or Valenti)?
