They look like they would match perfect with the new Toyota 86, with the headlights that say 86 and new fender badges that say 86.

hmm interesting. Looks a little "thick" for me-the font is too fat?

Looks stretched almost

I must be the only one that's starting to like the new look, everyone yells heritage and why isn't the car toyota. But then they see all the little 86 easter eggs and say "rice"

Oh my that's quite a few 86 badge all over hm?

I have one on the front...does that make me ricer? ... I'm a sad panda

[turtlefeeder]

I guess "ricer" generally means over doing it in simple terms? lol one seems fair

I just got front and back from Koreanautoinports and the front one is to rigid to sit flush! I think it's only a matter of time before the rain and dirt get in there and slowly start peeling it off! Did you have any issue with fitment?

2 stick on badges for $75? Really?

Are they made of solid gold or something? WTF

[Curtski96]

They are actually Pretty heavy metal. They definitely aren't plastic like the scion ones. Probably still not worth that much but it's something different for me anyways!

I bought two of these almost exactly a year ago - the quality was extremely poor; all color options (chrome, black chrome, matte black) are just a vinyl overlay.

Both of the ones I bought had issues with the vinyl peeling in places, and while the badge itself does have a decent heft to it, I don't think it's entirely metal, but rather some sort of resin - the two badges that I bought were all really poorly molded, and as a result the badge just looked cheap - all of the corners and crevasses within the design had bits of the hardened molding material overflowing into them, so the design wasn't clean.

Honestly, it was heavy enough that I wouldn't trust the tape alone to hold it up over time - especially if you live in a warmer environment (there are no pegs on the back to fit into the factory holes.)

Furthermore, trying to get in contact with anyone at that website was awful; they seem to only (sometimes) respond to Facebook messages, have no phone contact, and don't respond to email. I had to return one of the badges because the quality was so poor. I got an RMA, but I had to get my credit card company involved (my first time ever having to do so) to get my money refunded after I mailed back the return and still didn't receive credit four weeks later - nor a response after contacting them one, two, and three weeks after the tracking showed that my return had been delivered and accepted.

Ya man I do agree they seem cheaply made but mine didn't look that bad in the respect that the overlay was poor. I do have issue with the fact that it's a flat badge when the front bumper is curved therefore poor fitment. I have a feeling with the rain and snow we get here it will eventually fall off (hopefully not on the highway)!!!

Yeah, I definitely wanted it to work out for the uniqueness factor, and to be rid of the Scion emblem, but I just couldn't feel comfortable putting it on my car after inspecting it - it was a bit of an impulse buy; glad that yours turned out better than the one(s) I received, and hopefully it'll hold up alright.

Ya I did end up getting front and back I am pretty confident the back one will stick just fine but I guess only time Will tell! Ya the uniqueness is a novelty thing for now anyways!
