Trading in the FRS...will Toyota emblems hurt?

Will replacing my Scion emblems with Toyota emblems hurt my chances of trading in this car? Would a dealership even care?

A lot of Toyota dealerships are merged with scion. You should not have any problem trading it in. (in Canada at least)

If you have OEM badges, why not just switch them and avoid the possible hassle?

Off topic, but what would you be trading in the FR-S for?

It takes about 30 dollars and 15 minutes to switch the emblems back to Scion if it becomes an issue...Ive seen used FRS with Toyota emblems on the lot in San Diego already

Most people wont care, but I'd be wondering what other goofy shit the previous owner might have done to it as well.

Probably won't be able to trade it in.

Or you'll have to bring the car back to Japan

Instead of the dealer giving you 50% of what your car is actually worth, you'll get 53%
