Fair enough - honestly, it's the same car at the end of the day no matter what badge is on it.

IMO, this car in particular has a special situation of coming from the factory with 3 different brands and names, so I am OK with and swaps people want to do within Toyota/Subaru/Scion.

Actually prefer the position of the BRZ badges.. the Toyota badge positioning just irritates..

Here in the USA, we don't rebadge cars- CARS REBADGE YOU

And why is that? Would love to hear the logic for this one.

How much does it cost to do a legitimate Scion to Toyota conversion for the FRS?. Airbag, front and rear badges, key fob replacement, trunk mat. That's easily $500. And at the end of the day people who know anything about cars still know that it's a Scion.


I have the same reaction when I see Integras with Honda badges all over them. It just seems kind of silly. But, you could say that with the majority of exterior modifications though.

people should just replace the front and rear scion badges with the toyota emblem and remove the FR-S badge...clean and simple looking like the 2017

Then you still have a massive scion badge on your steering wheel. Unless you want to cover it with cheap plastic.

I don't understand why you always bring up the trunk carpet? My trunk carpet says nothing on it.
Maybe yours does since it's the Monogram series?

There is the trunk carpet and separate a trunk mat. My monogram came with a Scion mat. I guess this isn't standard though?

I'm pretty sure the RS 1.0 comes with a TRD mat.

My exterior badges cost me 25 bucks. Can't argue with that, plus it was a fun little project to do.

Can't be bothered to do the interior, because replacing an airbag is expensive.
