Badging & Debadging Questions....

[Overkill_311]

The first question that I have is how do you remove the trunk badging? On the left side of the trunk I have two badges. The first is the Corolla badge placed by the factory. I would like to remove that. The second is a Gullo Toyota badge, and I would like to remove that as well. Is there a way to do this without scratching the car, or damaging the paint?


The second question I have is.. what do you guys think of replacing the Corolla badge on the left side of the trunk with the following...

My opinion, is that since my corolla is a 10th gen, this badge seems appropriate. What do you guys think?

You'd likely get away with it, but anyone who knows Toyotas will know that your car is in fact not a Mark X, lol. It's nothing like a Mark X .

True, but the same goes for Supras. I used to have a 1990 Toyota Supra, and it was commonly referred to as a Mark 3 supra. Im not 100% sure I am going to do it, but even if I do, I have to get rid of the other badges first.

First answer: try a search, there are SEVERAL threads that say how to debadge. In short: heat gun/blowdryer and floss/string seems to be the most used method.

Second answer: would be different, but I wouldn't do it personally. I like the super clean debadged look. I've toyed with putting the LE back on just to confuse people as I have modded it basicly into an S without the body kit at this point.

get dental floss and a heat gun apply firmly

use goo-gone to remove excess glue..

wax portion and it'll be good

the S logo doesn't really bother me nor the Toyota emblem lol..

The search box on the top is very helpful..

looks good tam I sometimes wish I got a white S but i still LOVE my Classic Silver Metallic

my parents actually parked my silver S next to a white S at the dealer when we were buying and I was soooooo torn between the two
