Therefore, I'm thinking of putting a Toyota badge on the back to make more likely any tickets are written up incorrectly.

So... damn... pro. I actually want to do this now just for that reason.

I just want to rebadge mine as a mustang and troll the mustang forums claiming I found the 2015 mustang and get to daily drive it.

That -- that is kinda brilliant!

If the scion logo wasn't so cheap and plastic looking I would have left it on. For some reason the Toyota badges are chrome and just 'pop' more, making the car look that much nicer.

Exactly this. The scion badge isn't even chrome it's like matte Grey. Not my style.

Honestly...

Funny how anything else chrome gets ridiculed, but if it's a beloved Toyota badge it's now cool to be chrome!

The matt silver Scion badges are far and away better looking than the cheesy chromed Toyota badges. The main reason people swap, imo, is because they're embarrased at the Scion stigma they themselves are perpetuating...

so confusing...

I bought Toyota badging for my FRS just the other day (25 bucks on eBay WOOO) but it isn't because I really care about the "Scion stigma" or whatever, I just want to show off the Toyota Racing heritage that the car has. You'd be surprised how many people have idea that Scion is owned by Toyota... That and I not-so-secretly want my car to be the Panda Trueno from Initial D.

As for the cheesy Chrome... I think I am going to plasti-dip the badges black. I think black badges on my Panda whiteout FRS would look snazzy.

You can feel free to put just about any badge on these cars that YOU will feel comfortable with. Someone is always gonna be snickering in the corner though because of what THEY think or they don't understand.

The Griffon Badge is a natural for the car. Toyota has already used it:

[bdanisi]

im still trying to figure out when chrome became cheesy... chrome and black is clean as hell

[OjiGeorge]

I'm not liking that changing of badges to another company.. Toyota and Subaru deserve a lot of credit for this car. Let's be proud owners!

Griffon badge would look pretty slick, and as mentioned http://www.topspeed.com/cars/toyota/...-ar141828.html

Speaking of badges, I might replace the front badge with a decepticon logo and leaving the back shaved. Want to get some opinions. I would like to have the front shaved but the lines around the scion logo just dont look right of nothing is there.
