I was wondering the same thing. Can anyone please confirm this?

If you are getting new ones, they should have the 3M tape on them when purchased, at least the ones I've seen. If you are talking about putting old ones back on, you'll want to reapply the tape which should be available from an auto parts store.

There are different sizes too. Comes in rolls. Cut to length n trim with a knife/razor.

I work at a bodyshop n we use it all the time on accident cars to reinstall emblems.

OK guys, here's the definitive truth regarding the correct USDM front badge. Based on the info surfaced in this thread I stopped into the Toyota dealer over lunch and they had part number 90975A2003 in stock. The list price was $43.61 but the parts counter guy matched the online price ($22.71) without blinking.



This is the Toyota "T" emblem for the REAR of the 2012-13 Corolla but I can confirm it is the exact size and shape as the FRONT emblem of our FR-S. I still havent decided if I want to switch out the front emblem, but now I that I have it in hand, I have the option.







Why did I not investigate changing out the rear emblem? Because I already changed that out to something different:



See this post for more details on that. And here's some more pics of my car.

Cheers,

Dave

Can anyone confirm if the front and rear emblems are the same size?

They are NOT. Front emblem is bigger.
