Better to bump then create a new thread. Its on topic so and that's the point of searching. Good job!

Well your family will probably be doing alright after the settlement your lawyers get from the vendor you bought it from.

Feedback is welcome.


Thanks!
It looks 10/10 legit from like 6ft away. 3ft it looks like a misfit. In terms of rubbing hand over it, it feels like a tumor bump on the steering wheel. Shade of semi gloss dark is also odd looking close up.

Would I buy one? YES for $10. $30 is tmth for me.

If you wait 2-3yrs there'll be Toyota steering wheels left snd right for sale now that Toyota is badging future FR-S's as what they originally should have been.

They can sue for anything. He is implying that if in an accident and injured by that badge coming off you can sue whoever sold it to you. Although the vender is probably in China anyway so good luck with that.

Emblem from "Loden Emblem" and sue the airbag company for airbag deployment causing aftermarket emblem to fly into your face

Anyways its a great addition to the car if you are removing the scion branding and it will hold you off until the Toyota steering wheels come out. However, even then, it will probably be still to expensive to buy a OEM Toyota steering wheel unless you found one used so id consider that more of a waste of money compared to this badge that only costs $30 and looks great.

It'll be quite expensive when they rebrand them anyway since it has an airbag. Scion branded ones go for 400-500 right now.

I have that exact one. Its pretty good and fitment is good and all but it took a little to get the 3m tape to stick. make sure to prep the scion emblem making sure is free of any grease or what ever.
