Hi,

I had a hard time getting off the front badge. I'm sharing in case it might help anyone.

It was a sunny, warm day so I thought that would help soften the adhesive. You definitely want Goo Gone to loosen the adhesive. I wasn't making any progress until I used that.

I got a start with dental floss, then used a plastic trim removal tool to wedge the side up.

The piece came off pretty easily, but left all of the adhesive on the car. It was a lot of work to remove. What seemed to work best was to soak some Goo Gone on the adhesive, use some heat from a heat gun, wipe the Goo Gone off to get some friction with the adhesive, then rub across to remove it with my thumb. This took a lot of time since there was so much adhesive left. My right thumb seemed to get the best resistance so I mostly used it. I ended up with a big blister on it.

Goo Gone and rubbing was the way to remove the last bits of adhesive. It did finally clean up nicely. I'm hoping the rear badge is a lot easier when I try it this afternoon.

Cheers,

LD

Thanks to FRSupra for starting this thread! Those Toyota part numbers are huge! Definitely a proven removal method I removed the FR-S badge using the same method.

I have an extra hole under my rear scion badge besides the 2 pin holes for wiring to the illuminating badge (10 series).
Questions:
-Anyone have any suggestions for plugging or hiding the 3rd hole? Maybe a solid non see through badge? was trying to go uncolored too
-Anyone have any suggestions to illuminate a Toyota badge or know of one?

This sucks.. now that Im finally getting around to swap out the emblems the prices jack up fml. Would really appreciate if anyone could help me out with where could I get them at a reasonable price. 30+ for a plastic emblem is ridiculous.

Thanks for the detailed guide, guys!!!

Could you provide a link for the plasti dip guide? I cant seem to find it..

What is the best way to black out these badges? Plasti dip or paint? Or does anyone know where I could purchase a pair of T badges already blacked out?

I've seen a few already blacked out but overpriced - you'd have to search around. I'd go with Plasti. You can just mask around the badge, spray a few coats, then peel off everything that is not badge. And if you have not put them on the car yet, it's even easier. If you screw up, you just peel it all off, wash the surface to be safe, dry, try again. With paint, you get one shot - they can get messed up even painting them before attaching. (drips, runs, etc).

Thanks Semprini I'm thinking Plasti is the method to go with then. What's a good brand to go with?

People have good luck with Plasti Dip. ( It's actually the brand name

). They also sell a gloss spray you can put on top of the colored plasti to smooth it out if you don't want the rough look. Rust-oleum also makes an almost identical product but I'm not sure about layering that.
