Is anyone else going to take the badges off their FRS?
The way I look at it we don't need no stinking badges!

If I owned one I'd replace the Scion badges with Toyota badges.

My first mod will be Toyota re-badging. Scion means nothing to me.

Don't give a damn which badge it has. For hell of it, I might have Daihatsu badge

A lot of folks hung up on the Scion brand. That really doesn't matter to me. I just don't like the silver hanging out on the nose like that, but I think it leaves holes if you remove it. I'm considering buying a second set of badging and trying to do a black/white theme on them like what was on the "Speed Racer" car in Long Beach, and black out the rest. |

Just can't figure out why the badges matter...
Do people think Toyota is cool and Scion is not? If thats the case then why not use a premium brand badge because the image Toyota has (atleast in the US) is an economy mainstream brand. Not a premium/luxo brand often associated with badge whores. Not trying to offend just curious, I don't care what badge my car wears because I don't care who it impresses. I buy the car I want not the car I want to be seen in... |

First I think cars in general look cleaner without badges. Second if your rockin no plates which is legal for quite a while No cameras can catch you. It tends to be little bit easier to get out of ticket as well. |

Just for fun throw on some Ferrari badges and watch the women swoon. +1 if you have Red.

I'd be just removing the FRS badge, cuz it looks like a sticker just stuck on the rear end.
The dont care about whether the car has scion, BMW, Merc, Toyota badges. those can stay. |

I would definitely remove all associations with Scion.
