Toyota emblems all over my FR-S Monogram, no Scion. Could this be factory?

you're referring to a 10-Series.

I am pretty sure that the seats are not factory.

I have two factory seats with "red shoulder" and you can trade for them with your seats.

Yes, it's going to be free.

There's nothing done to it besides the stripping of Scion identification.
That is probably the biggest reason I found it unlikely that someone changed all of these things.

I'm sure they reverted all the modifications beyond those to stock.

The Toyota badge on your steering wheel is an option sold by FT86SpeedFactory. It's held on by double-sided tape.

If it's not too private, are you willing to share how much you bought this for along with mileage?

I'd be wondering what else had been done. Rebadgers, are, uh, not to be trusted with anything.

how safe are those badges on the steering wheel? let's say, the airbag deploys, will the emblem you put on there pull a Takata? Because I am pretty sure emblems on steering wheels are tested so when airbag deploys, it won't stab you in the throat?

The airbag opens and it rips the flap up if it's going to "stab" anything it'd be the roof hypothetically speaking. Of course no ones test it out so its not 100% confirmed that's what it'd do.

The company I work for has one of the largest active/passive restraint system R&D facilities in the world.
I have watched dozens of crash tests and as cool as they are the one common theme was that add on parts are totally unpredictable. In the case of stuff on the steering wheel logic would tell you that it would fly straight up but in reality if it lets go halfway through the blast it can come straight at your head Just as your head is headed straight for it. Not allowed to take or share pictures but believe me the results can be scary. Just try to pry it up and if it moves at all pull it off. If you can't budge it you are probably OK.


While I have the opportunity to preach:
Never attach anything to the A pillar without deactivating any airbag that may be located there (the twins are ok there isn't one there). That cool boost gauge will become a grenade in a crash


Check any after market seat covers to ensure they are airbag compatible. We do have airbags in our seats and if the charge can't expand the bag it will transfer that force right under the cover to your kidneys and spleen


Do not attach or place anything on the dash or in front of the passenger bag. A tablet or cell phone mounted too far over is now a bullet when the bag hits it


Disconnect the battery before doing any work on the steering wheel or dash where you could possibly short anything out. Airbags can save you in a crash but can take off fingers or cause other serious injuries if accidently set off while not in a driving position.


Don't play with them. Airbags are powerful explosive devices. The you tube videos of people playing practical jokes my look funny but you could easily kill yourself or your buddy.


Above all remember that these cars are designed to protect you in a crash so don't disable the systems because "bags are for whimps" or "I don't want them going off on the track".

OTOH, T, tales of people who get whacked by mods are entertaining.

Monogram Molestation should be a felony.

I get ppl in my shop all the time that have seat covers on and when I explain that to them, some of them take them off, the other ppl just shrug it off as of they are never going to get into an accident. Idiots

The better quality seats made by the reputable companies have tear away stitching and are not an issue. The knockoffs not so much and can kill you.
