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

Ohh I see, yeah you got extra goodies. The standard FRS just came with plain carpet in the rear.

I rebadged because the Toyota one is "nicer" looking (all chrome) and more simple. Also, it's hilarious to see people confused by it.

99.99953862% of the people are not looking at the badges on the outside of your car either.

If you are swapping badges you are doing it for yourself and the very, very, very small number of people that attend car meets. Nobody else cares or looks.

there is a small group of people that always ask..what kind of car is that? but then again i really didn't like how the scion logo looked..the chrome toyota emblem looks better on a black fr-s so i did do it for myself

If they have to ask then the badges meant nothing.

I love the Scion badges around here. Scion was only in the area briefly and there are not many around. The few people that do read the badge when talking to me usually simply say "what is a Skeoon?" Or the one dude that gave the long explanation of how Scion is German for "spider" and that my car is the new Porsche Spider.

Most people are badge and brand illiterate.

Also why I run badgeless as much as possible. I just didn't want to do any paint and body work on this car so the brand toyota badges are on there. If it had no damn holes, badgeless all the way.

i did the same at first but the holes were visually irritating ..didn't look nice even though on a raven black you can't really see them unless you look up close
