Dealer Installed Badges - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

ToyotaObsession · 05-08-2011, 12:28 AM

I was thinking... lol since so many people hate the Scion brand/Badge.

How many would be willing to pay to have dealer installed Toyota Badges put in it's place? Right when you take delivery of your car.

I wonder if there's any legal issue to do something like that?

Those badges would probably have to be imported from other countries so thats not really an option. Having the deal de-badge my car though is something I'll probably ask for.

Also we're talking bout entire SCION badges here. Not only front & rear badges, but also airbag cover, floor mats, somethings on the shift knob, keys & keyless, and just just goes on and on. How much do you think all those gonna cost?

xantonin · 05-08-2011, 01:17 AM

How much money? Cost is everything.

$60? Sure.

You know what's odd? The front bumper of the Celica doesn't come factory* with the Toyota emblem. You have to buy it separate, and Toyota charges about $50 for that.

*If you buy the front bumper from the parts division that is, of course it comes on the entire car as a whole.

The only way I'd be dissatisfied is if the Scion managed to perform less admirably than its Toyota or Subaru counterparts. I sure wouldn't spend any money to swap to a Toyota/Subaru badge. I might consider de-badging if they're only adhesive badges and if removing them would clean up the look.

It's not like you can change the make on your registration, you'd just be driving a transvestite of a car around.

I would probably debadge it my self only for aesthetic reasons. Anyways why is there another thread about this? Just beating a dead horse starting another scion vs toyota debate which is bound to happen again.

Midship Runabout · 05-08-2011, 02:01 AM

Is this a serious thread?

C-Bone · 05-08-2011, 03:01 AM

I don't think this would work very well, way to much work

xantonin · 05-08-2011, 03:34 AM

I know this would never happen in real life, he's just asking a theoretical question.

Dark · 05-08-2011, 05:24 AM

disapproved.

iff2mastamatt · 05-08-2011, 05:58 PM

Idk about Scion, but some dealers will de-badge the exterior emblems of your car if you request it. However, you're still stuck with the steering wheel, seat logos, logo on navigation os and etc.

Burrcold · 05-09-2011, 12:59 AM

The dealer will do anything you ask them to...for a price.

Giccin · 05-09-2011, 01:09 AM

I wonder if you bring a couple other friends who are also looking to buy the car with you.. will they really bend over backwards to give you a great deal. Like... 3-4 others with you. O_O

Imagine that~

"Yo sales man. All of us want to buy a car. Srsly."
