I just put mine on last night. I'll look it over to see if you could swap on an STi badge and let you know.

It would be neat but IMO TRD=STI for the twins. I don't mind rocking STI parts on my FRS

Yep, I'm a fan of any and all OEM aftermarket support available. Be it TRD, STi SAA, Toyota, Subaru, Tom's, etc...

Just a plastic cover for the existing cap, sticks on with double stick tape. I can think of better ways to spend $75 but it does look nice. Might improve my mood every time I have to fill the tank...

Yep, you can't really "easily" take the TRD emblem out. But you could slap an STi badge over it. I have an oversized STi badge. I'll see if that fits over comfortably.
