The respect for Toyota might be for those who know about the sporty cars they produced, but its not so well rounded as you may think.
I agree completely. I meant that everyone respects Toyota as a maker of quality/reliable/old person cars, whether or not they feel it's the right car for them. But then when those people see a relatively rare car such as a gt86 they'll more likely think "huh, didn't know Toyota made a car like that."

Can you get aftermarket places to do this if provided badges? Live in an apartment in downtown ATL so not really the best place to tinker with cars and was considering doing something to a fr-s when i get one.

Try a paint/body shop for the badges. Wheel center caps should be no issue. really none of it is as it shouldnt take very long to do yourself. But like I said, and body shop is used to applying new badges and could do the job Im sure.

Try Ferrari / Lamborghini badges. Surely it will make a better impact.
