Toyota Emblems

[leicaboss]

The Scion was way, way cheaper for me

Not unhappy with the car at all to be totally honest. Love it.

Need a wheelbarrow for muh bawls, so scion isn't that big a deal yo.

It's those no-turbo no-4wd BRZ people that the feels affect most.

yup i would but most likely not.. frs/86/brz is mostly a tuner car or should i say any cars... people have different taste whats so hard to understand about that? people in japan are putting scion emblems on their GT86...

i did see a red FRS in my area with ferrari emblems once NOW thats a whole different thing i dont understand

Anyone in the know about the FR-S is just going to think you're a poseur and anyone that isn't isn't going to notice or care.

Count me in as one of the ones that just doesn't get it.

Clearly you dont get it. Anyone "in the know" would be happy to see a FR-S badged as a Toyota, BECAUSE ITS A TOYOTA. The "poser" in all of this, is Scion.

[Frs x3]

I swapped to Toyota emblems because they're so much shinier. It had nothing to do with the Scion name. The car just looks so much cleaner with Toyota badges.

I swapped my badges, on the bumper cover, the trunk, the steering wheel.. I changed out the radio and I have aftermarket wheels, I removed the rear scion bumper appliqué.. There isn't a scion name, badge, or symbol any where on my car.. Even down to the registration that says Toyota.. I did it because in the whole world but NA, it's a Toyota, it's designed by Toyota, it's linage is from the ae86.. Why the fuck would I ever want a scion badge on it.. I can't wait for Toyota to kill that poser ass brand..

though it still is a toyota, it is not completely a GT86 like the rest of the world gets without all the extra goodies

so really it's still an FRS

but it's also a lot cheaper and i'm ok with that

I did a swap because I prefer having my car associated with Toyota rather than Scion. I have no particular qualms against Scion, instead I just really like Toyota. Prior to the dark ages of the brand (the last couple years of bland and boring models) Toyota produced some of my all time favorite cars.

The fact that the twins draw their heritage from my absolute favorite, AE86, confirmed that I wanted Toyota badges. So, instead of having badges and branding from a division I could care less for, I'd rather pay an homage to Toyota.

Also, I guess it to me is like going to a steakhouse, and seeing some off brand steak sauce on your table. It looks like A1. It smells like A1. It tastes like A1. It's probably A1. But the sticker says otherwise. I suppose that's being a brand snob, but I just wouldn't feel right any other way.

If I go to Toyota dot com I don't see anything that is non dark age still.

I forgot about scion, that's how well they advertise it here. Yeah I'm not 20 something, but if I hadn't tripped over the FR-S Toyota would not be getting a sale.


Someone should really fix that. You don't have to be 20 something to want a fun car

Since no one is answering your question OP, I did some research. The only way you could get that finish is if you just take the chrome ones and get them painted, or paint them yourself. Which wouldn't be too hard at all. If you do make sure to post some pictures, I kinda want to see.

am i the only one that actually likes the scion badge?
its design is sharp and really nice

does the logo make people think their car is worth less?

the only thing about logos that makes sense to me is removing them completely if you've modded your car so heavily that it doesn't even deserve the logo at all or that you just hate having your car a moving advertisement for the company it was built from

somebody help me out here

Because Scion sux.

And the car is a Toyota GT86 everywhere else in the world. Scion doesn't build this car, they re-badge it, so people de-badge it.

I think you should consider going to a different steak house .....

To OP,

You could try swapping the emblems then dipping them silver, should be a similar finish

Check out Toyota UK. Naturally it wouldn't be on the US version of their site.
