Good thinking.

I like how it's a little different take on OEM badging. Subtle, personal.

I plan to do the same i wasnt going to follow the guide to install it

I voted move it because I know if it were mine it would drive me insane. If it doesn't bother you as much as it does me then don't worry about it.

looks silly id remove it all together and replace it with the toyota lettering..

My OCD would make me redo it. Surprised the badge doesn't come with a template for positioning.

Fun fact: My 86 (not GT86) doesn't have the GT86 badge, but does have the Toyota lettering. JDM 86s have neither.

yeah I was gonna say, if you want to be all JDM looking you have the wrong badge... you're looking Euro-spec. does the JDM/HK 86 have any 86 badging on it?

Yes, piston badges on fenders and the embossed '86' on the steering wheel.

oh sorry, I meant on the back... aside from the Toyota badge is there anything else that says '86' or GT86?

What will always bother you is the stupid steering wheel. :P

Nothing at all. Here's my car:

Nice and clean. But I would consider removing the TOYOTA badge.

Is there a template to line these up exact to the GT86?
