Diy tip.....when I had my piston badges swapped out for the jdm ones we used a heat gun to soften up the adhesive. I'm not kidding when I say that once we got a corner up we could practically pull the whole thing off by hand.

I can't imagine that a hair dryer wouldn't have a similar effect and make getting those badges off a breeze.

Once removed do the badges stick back on? Or do u need new adhesive?

Good question....in my case the replacement jdm badges came ready to peel and stick.

Fyi....its pretty hard to screw up the placement of the pistons as there are 2 pegs on the reverse of the badge that line up with corresponding holes in the fender garnish.

Oh. I was thinking of pulling them and painting them. In this case they may have to be painted on the car haha

Yeah you will need some. But 3M has glue made for car emblems. It works really good

I really like what you did here, and really well done.

I have a Black raven FR-S and my theme is black and red. I am thinking of painting my badges in the reverse of this. I may get the toyota and toyota wheel centers red? what do you all think?

This is almost exactly what I'm going to be doing. I already have the OE paint in my garage specifically for this purpose. lol Rather than flat black, however, I'll be using the spray on tint to darken the badges to a quazi hyper black.
