Just need the airbag, but I really don't want to spend 600+ on that. |

Even the Toyota badge isn't cool. I'm rebadging my 86 to the 86 Loden emblem at the front and GT86 at the back

I do not understand the re-badge away from scion. Eventually people will want the scion version cause they weren't made for a very long time.

I know it was just the point. Are people really that ashamed that they drive a scion? From where I am from the brand rep was very neutral. I am actually changing my badges to the black scion versions but still keeping it scion. If I ever sell the car the old badges will go with it in case the new owner wants them.

No, there really is no reason except vanity (says the guy with a Vanity plate, but I'm not trying to fool myself).
The people that don't know the car, don't notice the badge-swap and even if they do, don't care. The people that DO know the car, know it's a badge swap and aren't fooled or impressed. Might as well donate the money to the charity of your choice so it'll at least do some good. I don't even think it's of the same level as a wheel swap. Even if it's purely aesthetic, wheels are the shoes of the car and lend personality. Badge swap is like stick-on air vents - it's the equivalent of wearing a pin on your jacket. |

I was going to wave at my fellow 86 owner, all I saw at first was the "T". Then I saw the "Toyota" (not on a GT86 and GT86 badge in the wrong place) and decided not to waste my wave on a putz. You rebadgers need to come up with a wave/sig fellow owners can give that shows we know your badges are a lie.
Who are you trying to impress? I had a cheap-ass Scion (yes, I know, Toyota) with Suburu stamped all over it. I now have a cheap ass Toyota. Maybe I need Scion badges and an FR-S front. |
