Does signia have interior ambient lighting?

 

By the feet for the driver and front passenger and in the middle cupholders, yes

 

Having 2700 lb towing capacity. Has anyone looked into a hitch for the Signia ?

Thanks a bunch.

Awesome thank you very much!

 

Do newer Toyotas like Signia need undercoating? I’m in PNW so we do get snow every winter here.

 

I don't believe so, might be a Dealer option depending on the region.
I have family in the Seattle area and north. They don't use chemicals or salt on the roads do they?

 

Removing all the emblems from the Signia is fairly easy and straight forward. Some may ask "Why"... primarily for ease of waxing/polishing and for a cleaner look.

This is the process I took and have taken on all my vehicles. I take no responsibility in your DIY badge removal process... iam outlining the steps I took that worked for me.

Tools:
1. Wagner Heat Gun on low setting. Or you can used a hair dryer.
2. WD-40, used to remove glue residue.
3. Wax/Polish of your choice. I use Mequiars Ultimate Liquid Wax.

For the front hood Toyota Emblem. I ensured there were no tabs that secured it to the hood so I opened the hood, removed a couple panels (9 push clips), and didn't see any tabs.

I slowly heated the emblem moving the Heat Gun in a circular motion. The front hood area is plastic under the emblem so don't Heat it up too long. I slowly peeled the emblem away.

I then did the same process to the rear "CROWN" and "LIMITED" letters, to the "AWD" and "HEV" emblems.

⚠ CAUTION⚠
The rear Toyoyta emblem has 2 tabs. Removing that emblem will leave 2 visible holes. So I put mine back on and will Plasti Dip it later.

Once I removed all emblems I used some WD-40 to remove the glue residue....let the WD-40 sit for a minute. After rubbing all the residue off I waxed the area.

Looks very clean. Take your time If you decide to do this DIY job. Enjoy.

Nice and clean! I am okay with the Toyota badges on front and rear but think the hev, awd and xle emblems were a little too much and not symmetrical. Emboldened by your post, I grabbed my heat gun and easily removed them. The tailgate looks so much better now!

Anyone thinking about lifting their Signia...perhaps an inch or two?

A couple of inches of extra clearance would give the Outback a run for its money (well, not really). The Signia Landscape would look interesting, I think.

 

Thanks for doing this, I was all set to remove everything except the CROWN lettering, but will now keep the TOYOTA badge on the back.

 

If you really want to remove the Toyota emblem, I have seen some owners buy a magnetic flag or they buy a different type of emblem and place it over the two small holes. I'm glad this helped prior to taking off the badge.

 

I'd really like to find a couple of Crown emblems and replace the Toyotas on the front and back.....................

 

Check out this listing or this one for the emblem and wheel caps. There are several sellers on Ebay selling Genuine Toyota Crown emblems.

 

Thanks, I've kind of avoided E-Bay over the years after a couple of poor quality mis-represented buys from them. I should try again and probably will. I'll keep looking though, because I want the wheel center caps to match the replacement rear Toyota emblem, and on the Finish Line Red Limited Trim, I kind of feel like I need Black or maybe a Gold color, I'll know it when I see it!

Did the rear:

 

That's a beautiful color. 😍 Those Crown emblems on Ebay will fit on the front hood but may be too big to replace the rear Toyota emblem. I personally think if you plastidip the rear emblem and letters gloss black, it would look sharp.

 

Yeah, you are 100% right, Gloss Black TOYOTA Badge and CROWN letters would look really good, especially with the Gloss Black License Plate letters/numbers........

 

I'm thinking the very same thing!
If you find a good kit, please let us all know!

 

I'm thinking the other way, lower it a couple of inches for a sporty look, as I know mine will never even see a dirt or gravel road, let alone go off road.

 

Well, the Signia is not an off-road vehicle, and it is definitely not a sports car. I've seen a couple of videos that show that the Signia's AWD is actually decent, but it suffers from its lack of height. I think lifting it will make it look more like an SUV than a wagon...and it will give it a helping hand in case you do have to take it off-road or if you are dealing with snow.

 

In 1977 my brother told the Olds dealer (where he was ordering his brand new Cutlass Supreme) that if they wanted to put a dealer sticker on the car, he would only charge them $100 a year for 5 years, and he would accept it as a discount on the car. He wrote it on the sale contract. The sales manager thought it was funny and a joke and left it on the special instructions. They delivered the car to my brother with a dealer sticker. He took his contract into the owner’s office upon delivery and the owner had his guys “debadge” the dealer sticker with great care. They both had a good laugh about it.

 

It needs a 1” lift so it will not scrape those darned parking stops. +1 vote for a lift kit.

 

That's one of the primary reasons we got the Limited with the Advanced Technology Package with the 360 degree camera, as you can set it to automatically comes on at 7MPH or lower, and boy does it get your attention when it comes on and covers that big beautiful screen. It reminds me every time to watch how far I pull into the parking spots.

It's been great so far. We'll see how well it manages my wife's driving, that'll be the real test because she is no where as careful as I am when parking.

 

Definitely thinking about it as well. Looks like there's no aftermarket solution at the moment.

 

Can't find any information either.

And do our Signias come lifted? Meaning that we can't just add an extra inch...we would need to remove the stock lift and replace with something that will raise it even more. I'm thinking that whatever they used for the Crown Landscape is what they used on the Crown Signia.

 

I carry several items with me wherever I go and my Prius & Venza both had the perfect spot for them under the rear cargo floor... I'm not seeing anything in the Crown Signia though... Has anyone successfully reconfigured the area under the rear cargo floor to store things? I really don't want to do a visible lock drawer that consumes space in the cargo area but may have too... I plan on keeping this car for a while and don't mind to spend some money to do it correctly.

 

Has anyone installed a factory dashcam (after purchase) or an aftermarket dashcam? If so, can you provide links and/or photos?

I installed 2 different ones in my Venza:
The first is a front & rear camera: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098WVKF19/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The second one integrated into the plastic cover on the electronics around the rearview mirror base and looked factory. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...?spm=a2g0o.order_detail.order_detail_item.3.8aaff19ct6W6am&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa

I'd like to see what options others have found for the Crown Signia.

I found this one for the Signia that "looks" factory, I'll probably order it once I take delivery of my Signia later this month. If so, I'll post before/during/after photos so others can see it.

So the lettering for the most part is just held on by gray gum glue. I didn't use a hairdryer or anything else for de-badging except a spackling spatula. Plastic, doesn't hurt the paint. The leftover gum comes off on your fingers. Mine is debadged except for OM. Waiting on the Crown logos.

OM?

 

OEM side moldings really don't add much in looks other than breaking up the tall door panels. Won't help too much protecting the door dings, other than from a flat wall or short posts in gas station stations designed to protect the pumps.

Disappointed in the door edge moldings Toyota went from stainless edging covered in body colored paint to a clear tape that will just hold any chips in place.

Roof rail moldings mounted in the factory locations are the biggest disappointment. Only positive point is that on the limited the crossbar mounts above the rollover bar in the "B" pillars so it doesn't block a portion of the panoramic view like in the Highlander. Negative points are that they look like crap on the Crown Sig and there is a significant wind noise that can only be reduced but not blocked by the closed sunshade. Easy to mount and dismount. So, back into the box for storage should I ever need them in a pinch.

Removed roof rails

Added Japanese Crown emblems on "C" pillars
