Debadge/Rebadge - I got in on the Action :) - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

A debadged rear end on a Gen 6 looks much better imo. So, I got in on the act. Notice the rebadging on the right side.

A little close-up shows off my new decal. If after a couple weeks I still dig it I'm going to paint it on (I'm making a template/stencil at the moment).

The car is silver, but the beautiful sunset this evening makes the car look like that sandy color.

catric69 · 04-09-2008, 09:30 PM

Im gonna get in on this debadging party soon too,.. oh wait, I should have my car first

I love the way the gen6 looks debadged, especially with a lip spoiler.. i might not debadge only because it'll make me want to buy one

Wait, so you're creating a stencil so you can paint the Racing Development TRD. Why would you bother painting that on when the decal looks just fine?

desentrix · 04-10-2008, 11:10 AM

I'm debadging mine in 5 minutes.

PhantomGrey: that is very clean! where did you get the decal from?
Thanks much. Decal readily available on eBay. Seller is jdmpit.

catric69: Good choice! nice and subtle.
Thanks. Subtle is exactly what I was going for.

ebumdude: Welcome to the shaved ass party.

Looks good!
Thanks! I think so too.

xfyre: that emblem actually looks pretty good compared to some of the ones ive seen :\

I was going for something different than the chrome //TRD or the VVT-i. That is a decal purchased on eBay.

touringcamry: Looking good, but are you TRD equipped?
Thank you. I will soon be equipped with TRD equipped with TRD lowering springs.

alexdadoof: Well come to the bare ass club!

haha
nice job...
Thanks much!

Welp, the reason is twofold.

First, it looks fine now, but the hot summer is coming and I have my doubts the decal will survive 3 months of 100+ degree days parked in the sun at work. Hopefully I can grab a shady spot, but I'm not counting on it.

Second, I feel going through the process of creating the template and doing my own custom paint adds a sense of artisanship. I've tried a mechanical project in the past with an SRI install and now I'd like to try more of an art-centric project.
