Extra SE Badge? - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

BuckeyeSE · 05-13-2007, 07:12 PM

Wondering if anyone on the boards has debadged their SE and kept their old badges. I'm looking for an extra 'SE' badge to attach to the plastic trim interior. I'm going to custom paint it to match my Dark Charcoal Interior at locate it at one of the following positions. I'm leaning towards position 1 or 2. What do you guys think?

(not my car, from edmunds)

If anyone has one they will sell me or knows where I could find one (Toyota Part Number?) I would appreciate it.

I will part with mine (been off the car since a week after delivery). I think shipping from Virginia to OH would cost more than the emblem.

I don't think you should do it but if you decide to do it, don't make it centered and 1 would probably look best.

^ why not centered? i would say centered #1 would look best

Because it would look cheesy centered. Design & Style... there are just some rules you don't break... but that's all up to preference

^ notice how the badge placed to the right will compliment the non-symmetry of the shifter/cup holder placement... lines and objects need to flow

but that's just my $0.02 as a former photo-editor of an amateur newspaper...

Off-center, right, position 1 was where I was leaning towards (similar to it's original placement on the bumper). I'm gonna sleep on it tonight and see how I feel about it in the morning.

Just a thought, what about off to the right side of the of the dash, front of the passenger seat. Aftermarket dash kits (wood/etc.) put the "Camry" cutout there to spice up the large blank spot. Like I said...just a thought.

Here is what it looks like in my car.

Thanks Lammy...yeah that's what I was talking about. I think the SE on the dark charcoal background might look sharp there and it would break up the big blank spot.

That does look pretty good there. I will have to size it out to see how proportionate it would look. Thanks for the advice!
