Do it yourself... just need to be careful with overexposure with the heat gun. This is not something you should go to a dealership for, unless you're made of money...

I would just cover the whole area behind the emblem with gloss white vinyl. The logo breaks it up from the rest of the paint so the color difference won't really be noticeable to people unless they look for it.

I'm not really big on camo. I guess that's what happens when you wear it to work every damn day haha

I'd rock it except some haters would get the wrong idea and key my car lol

I know, I have to wear it a few times a month, I cringed the other day going up to the gate, but Its just what I had laying around. I asked Bluebatmobile if he could make up something for me.

Take that duct tape off your car FFS...that is terrible. It wont stand up to the weather, like you may think...the adheisive is going to get all gunky...just take it off...you really should.

did you even read anything? I'm trying to find another solution.

slicktop · 06-19-2013, 11:49 AM

Not trying to be a ****, but you're worried about the paint with in that same frame I see another chip and dead bugs everywhere.

The camo looks tacky. I would take it off.

bkblitzed · 06-19-2013, 11:57 AM

why not just replace it with the toyota emblem?

ML · 06-19-2013, 01:12 PM

This is how bad it is. There are no other chips outside the inside of the badge. Please cry more because I haven't washed my car since the last time I drove it.

ML · 06-23-2013, 01:33 PM

Update. Just put some vinyl behind the whole emblem.
