Gen6 Looking to gain some ponys....

SO i just purchased a TRD and a VVT-I emblem for my trunk. My question to you guys is where should i put them?
1. I was thinking of taking the LE badge off and putting the TRD one in its place. and put the VVT-I one where there is no emblem
2. i could leave the LE badge and put the TRD and VVT-I emblem each in its own corner, so i would have an emblem on all 4 sides of the trunk.

3.I also could remove both the Camry and LE badge and put the TRD and VVT-I badge in their places.

whats everyones opinion?

Remove the LE and put the TRD in its place. Flip the VV-I upside down and put it on the same level as the "camry" logo.

I would leave them off completely. With your wheels, your car says more "luxury" than "sport". I think adding a TRD emblem would be kinda tacky.

Not trying to be mean- I actually really like your wheels... but I don't think they'll go well with anything sporty.

I'm actually trying to convince my wife to let me get those wheels when I replace my tires soon... my local dealer sells them for $135 each. Very tempting.

Yea, but the V6 under my hood says my car is pretty damn sporty. also,if you do get these rims, get the Michelin MXV4 tires with them. I have them and they are amazing. Good handling, responsive, ride, and not to mention they are low rolling resistance tires. Thanks for the input.

Why not just put the TRD on the lower left (empty space), and VVT-i on the LE place (lower right), and take off the ones on the top.

Like the TRD Aurion, TRD on lower left, Sportivo on lower Right. That's what I'm planning to do on mine after all mods are completed.

I think the best you can have on the back is 2, that's it. More than that, it'll look like you're selling emblems.

I've heard very good things about those Michelins, but they REALLY expensive. My local shop wants $168 per tire for those. (Including Road Hazard)

The Comfortreds that I usually buy are "only" $106/tire. I'm a bit nervous, as I'm not sure how much they will alter mpg vs a LRR tire.

Probably not? This carbon fiber valve cover for the '08 xB should fit the guys with the 2.4L. I'm wondering if the scion emblem can be removed without any evidence that it was there?

My advice would be to sell the emblems you bought on Ebay, take your girl out for a few drinks with your winnings, and then shave your ass - cheapest mod you'll ever do and it gives a nice clean look....
