Rear emblem shave? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

shawnperolis · 04-10-2013, 11:32 AM

So I finally got around to replacing my Scion emblem with a Toyota one on the rear of my car... I think it looks a lot better, but when I had the emblem off I noticed how awesome the car looked with the completely shaved look. Toyota was nice enough to make the part of the bumper with the emblem a removable piece (I think? At least it looks that way to me) so I was wondering if anyone sold a piece that came painted and without the holes? If not, does anyone have a rough estimate as to how much it would cost to get those holes filled and then paint matched on my Whiteout FRS?

I don't know and am only making a wild guess but I suspect it would be in the neighborhood of $300.00.

Funny thing I did my toyota badges this past weekend and I thought that it did look pretty nice as well without the badges. If anything you can just get some cf vinyl and wrap that part. I'm pretty sure Seibon sells the trunk with that part with no holes or anything, so maybe your best bet is someone that doesn't want theirs.

I'd love to see how the CF vinyl would look on just that part of the trunk... Anyone good with photoshop want to do a mockup of it on a Whiteout FRS? :happy0180:

If you check out the video his trunk emblem part thing is probably vinyl wrapped, not sure if its cf or just black, but it gives an idea. It shows it in the beginning and towards the end where he revs and takes off.

Thanks for the vid... It doesn't look half bad, but I'm not sure if it looks any better than my blacked out Toyota emblem. I think the shaved look is really clean because it doesn't attract any attention to a specific part of the car.

This is what I'm working with now:
