View Full Version : bB badge won't fit
Sublimize23 11-13-2004, 06:50 PM :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: My bB badge won't fit. it'll go in the holes, but it won't snap into place. I'm considering grinding down the edges where it sits on the grille to make it sit lower. a word of advice: don't buy from "perforamce-R" on ebay, I paid $8.50 for shipping and he sent it in an envelope with 2 34 cents stamps, not to mention it was the crappiest packaging I have ever seen. can anyone help me on getting it to fit?
BoomBox757 11-13-2004, 07:09 PM what do you expect for $8.50?? Try drop kicking it
TOAST3R 11-13-2004, 07:10 PM post a picture of the side and back. i know on mine i had to give it a good push, it fit in but didnt snap until i pushed it in harder.
did it come in a toyota bubble wrap package?
Sublimize23 11-13-2004, 07:56 PM no, it didn't come in a toyota wrap package. it came in a bubble wrap, but it didn't say anything. I'll get a pic later tonight. I have an '05 xB, could this be the problem?? maybe it was meant for 04's?
TOAST3R 11-13-2004, 08:00 PM no, it didn't come in a toyota wrap package. it came in a bubble wrap, but it didn't say anything. I'll get a pic later tonight. I have an '05 xB, could this be the problem?? maybe it was meant for 04's?
i have an 05, nothings changed.
mine had a toyota part number sticker on the bubblewrap.
have you compared it to the scion emblem? is anything majorly different on the clips?
Sublimize23 11-13-2004, 08:12 PM I have compared it. the part on the clips where it locks in are much smaller, and there were these strange tabs which were preventing it from going on, but I ground those off, and it helped a little. I might just doube sided tape it, I absolutely hate the big scion logo on the front.
Soon2BxB 11-13-2004, 08:19 PM i got my bB emblems from neneago .. they came in toyota bubblewrap with the OEM part numbers on em
sounds like you got fakies :( ... mine went right on
Skeeterflea 11-13-2004, 08:44 PM FARK!!! Mines in the mail from performance-R... Crap. :evil:
Where'd you get yours from Toaster?
Sublimize23 11-13-2004, 09:06 PM go look at his feedback, that most recent negative is from me.
Skeeterflea 11-13-2004, 09:11 PM Don't worry if mine don't fit, I'l be sure to add one. I'm ____ed allready. If mine does the same thing, I will add a warning to my sig... And get my personal checks made out with warnings, and get letters printed out for my rear window, and...
Sublimize23 11-13-2004, 09:18 PM I can't believe I got raped out of about $20 and a week of my time for a fake emblem.
Soon2BxB 11-13-2004, 09:21 PM neneago is the man to go to .. i got both the front and rear emblem for 44 shipped.. toyota OEM parts .. perfect fit
sorry to see you guys got shafted... pm neneago .. he is still selling the bB emblems :)
Sublimize23 11-14-2004, 01:06 AM update: I double sided taped it, I used decent tape, and it looks clean, and holds, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up when I wash it. If it won't hold, I'm going to order the REAL one from that guy on here... :(
Skeeterflea 11-14-2004, 02:28 AM I sent an e-mail to performance-r. If it doesn't fit the oem grill out of the box, as far as I'm concerned that's a defect. I will want my $ back. Should be here by tuesday.
Sublimize23 11-14-2004, 04:00 AM not a bad idea, maybe I'll send mine back. my friend and I are gonna use a heat gun and bend the tabs, and see if that'll fix it, otherwise he'll get some molding adhesive tape (he works at a honda dealership) and we'll mount it on there. it looks just like the real thing. is the real one really thin plastic?
Max2k 11-14-2004, 04:31 AM I highly doubt that there's some guy on ebay making a bunch of fake bB emblems. It's not like there's a huge market for them.
Sublimize23 11-15-2004, 02:41 AM well I don't know what to tell you other than mine doesn't fit, and didn't come in a toyota bag. My friend has an integra and is big into spoon racing stuff, and people sell fake spoon stuff, so I think that it is possible there are fake emblems too.
BoomBox757 11-15-2004, 02:50 AM I don't think they are fake, they would have to make a mold and to sell it for $8 wouldn't justify that. and yes they real ones are thin plastic. maybe you just have emblem placing problems
Sublimize23 11-15-2004, 02:55 AM what do you suggest I do about it?
BoomBox757 11-15-2004, 03:10 PM I don't know why it doesn't fit, so I can answer you, I would just get a new one. and don't forget to leave bad feed back for the guy
Max2k 11-15-2004, 03:50 PM I would have emailed the guy about it before you left him bad feedback. Most sellers are really good about this kind of thing.
Skeeterflea 11-15-2004, 09:27 PM I emailed him before I even got mine, ...no reply and it's been 2 days. Just got mine in the mail today. It doesn't snap into place right. And it doesn't cost $8. It's $8 dollars shipping. The emblem is $13.48 with a flat rate of $8 for shipping conus. And the way it's shipped? For eight dollars you get an envelope with three 37cent stamps on it. It's garbage. Don't worry about a ____ty feedback. That's going to be done. After I finish playing with this emblem for another hour trying to snap it corrrectly into place....
Skeeterflea 11-15-2004, 09:58 PM Allright, from the looks of it the bottom prong isn't long enough to lock into place. The top two will lock fine but the bottom one... no go. So I called Performance-R, and he said that he's sold thousands of them blah blah blah. I mentioned that others had ordered them and recieved them in bubble wraps with toyota part #'s on it, and he stopped debating the issue. Asked me "what do you want to do?" I said "send it back and get my money back", he says "ok print out a copy of your ebay confirmation and paypal and I'll give you your money back." I told him he may want to look at his emblems before he sells anymore.
BoomBox757 11-15-2004, 10:46 PM maybe they are remakes
Sublimize23 11-15-2004, 10:55 PM that's excatly what happened to me!!! on mine, the top 2 won't lock into place. he knows they're fake. what you said about him stopping debate on it when you mentioned toyota part numbers proves it. I'm going to get some 3m automotive double sided tape for emblems in a little while. I'm saving up for my system, so I don't want to spend $50 on new badges right now.
scionfx 11-17-2004, 01:14 AM Guys... sould like you guy got a good deal on the emblem and still complaint about the seller.
Front bB emblem shipped from Japan cost around $19. The poor guys is try to to sell the emblem for $13 plus $8 shipping and handling fees. If you have problems with bB emblems installation you should have ask.
Maybe it could be damage by the shipping.
Leaving bad feedback to some seller taking care their customer is just not cool... !
Mr. Japan is try to say his bB emblems from Japan is the only good one! May be you should ask him to sell his emblems for $8.00
Just got it on my brother's box. you need to push it harder...
For shipping charge, I think that's how they do business on ebay these day. over all you still paid only about $25 right? Not bad at all....Some people charge high price on item and cheap on shipping and some the other way around...
Sublimize23 11-17-2004, 02:24 AM scionfx- I don't care what you think. there's nothing wrong with my grille. I got it on with some double-sided emblem tape. I'm done with this situation. I know I learned my lesson from all this; be more careful about ebay items.
BoomBox757 11-17-2004, 02:41 AM I still think that you are putting it in wrong or something, but i
i'm glad you got it on
BIGShawn 11-17-2004, 09:39 AM I just got this emblem and it snapped right in, dont know what you guys are talking about. Maybe you guys are putting it in upside down or something. And if performance-r offered to give you guys your money back why would you leave neg feedback.
hotbox05 11-17-2004, 09:44 AM if u get em off ebay go articblueinteg
Skeeterflea 11-17-2004, 03:56 PM Last post here, If you guys are affiliated with Performance-R for some reason and you want to help thier business... just say so. And if your emblem fits... thats great for you. I'm glad you purchased an item and got what you expected. As for mine... It doesn't fit. I suppose there's a slight chance I got a defective one out of all the one's they have shipped, but if I pushed any harder to try and make this emblem fit, my front grill will snap in half. All I'm trying to do by posting here is to make other's on this board alert and aware that there was a problem with my emblem from performance-R. If I do decide to leave a negative feedback (which I haven't done yet) that's my decision as a buyer. It's not some childish act to get back at them. It's to alarm anyone else buying off of ebay, as this is the only way to check a sellers history. I'm not going to argue the fact anymore that this bB emblem is defective. I'm just going to ship it back get my money back from performance-r and do business elsewhere.
And guess what, if I pay another $10-20 more, so be it. At least I know when I'm driving down the road it won't fall off.
Minsk99 11-17-2004, 08:20 PM Damn I must be board today to get involved in this one. Anyways, it seems to me that a retailer can not know if every single item they sell is free of defects. The way to judge a retailer is by how they handle customer service when you inform them that your part is defective. Sounds like Performance-R offered to refund your money. So what's the problem here? $25 total is not too much to pay for the bB emblem either. This seems like a very minor hassle you had to deal with and that Performance-R was willing to make things right. I have no affiliation with Performance-R or Scionfx, but I have purchased through them in the past and have been very happy with their customer service.
BoomBox757 11-17-2004, 08:24 PM I don't have anything to do with them. and yours might have been defective, but its not a fake
its funny.. on a small stuff which is not expensive you guys are talking about original and fake... when you are talking about a expensive set of body kit, then many of you want a replica one...
Just ask for an exchange or some thing and move on with your life 8)
I got my complete 6 pieces kenstyle kit from performance-r..It was original and not fake at all...I got no problem with them.... :lol:
hotbox05 11-18-2004, 02:46 AM wow an authentic kenstyle? must have set u back somethin fierce
BoomBox757 11-18-2004, 06:31 PM the urban or the EIK
neneago 11-19-2004, 06:58 AM I buy my emblems directly from Toyota. I think Im the only seller of emblems that actually lives in Japan. Below are pictures of originals. Items should come in Toyota packaging. The rear emblem should have a brown piece of plastic to prevent the adhesive from sticking. I've seen rear emblems on ebay that dont even have adhesive. First sign that its fake or a factory reject. I've sold over 75 front and about 50 rear. No problems!!! In the picture of both together. I removed the brown plastic from the rear just to take the pic.

neneago 11-19-2004, 09:38 AM I did a little homework last night. I was looking at some of the emblem sellers on ebay. I noticed that the seller performance-r and scionsport had some of the lowest prices and the page had the exact same layout. While looking at their emails I noticed the email for scionsport as being "sales@SCIONFX.com" the scionfx caught my attention. I had seen it before. I look at an earlier post and notice a user on SL by the name of "scionfx" He praises the service and quality that performance-r(ebay) has given him. I go to performance-r auction on ebay. I scroll down and look at his email. sales@performance-r.com So I got busy doing a little research on scionfx.com and performance-r com. The owner of both sites is the same!!!!! I'm not trying to hate, but please be honest with your customers.
Sublimize23 11-20-2004, 01:55 AM scionfx- you can't be f***ing serious. retract your negative feedback right now. what was wrong with me as a buyer? I paid you immediately. just because I left you a negative doesn't mean you have to ruin my feedback. you _______. everyone stay away from this guy.
neneago 11-20-2004, 02:01 AM He can't retract his negative feedback. Both of you have to work through ebay and get that negative taken away. Most likely he'll get the negative you left him taken away also. Mutual thing.
Sublimize23 11-20-2004, 02:05 AM you have no idea how angry that makes me. I did nothing wrong as a buyer.
neneago 11-20-2004, 02:10 AM I do have an idea....I had a seller ship my item to the wrong address. It took me over two months to get my item. I left him a negative. He did the same. I paid him within mintues of buying the product and i was willing to work out the error he had made. He was very rude with me so I did what i had to do.
Sublimize23 11-20-2004, 02:22 AM that sucks man. but whatever. I have enough transactions that it shouldn't hurt me too bad. 94%
BoomBox757 11-20-2004, 02:53 AM what did it say?

read my reply.
BoomBox757 11-20-2004, 02:58 AM that sucks, what does he mean you paid low price?
TOAST3R 11-20-2004, 03:02 AM did you contact the seller? did he offer to remedy the situation?
if so you deserve the negative feedback from the seller. the seller tried to fix things with you. negative feedback is for when the seller is unresponsive or refuses to take care of an issue. a neutral feedback is what shouldve been left. stating the item didnt fit but seller took care of it.
now if the seller told you to go get bent and hes not going to do anything about it then negative feedback is ok.
any why are you talking about sl.com on there? if your going to refer to a website get it right. sl.com has nothing to do with scionlife.com
Sublimize23 11-20-2004, 03:11 AM I have no idea what he means. my feedback for him is what I honestly think he deserved. bottom line.
neneago 11-21-2004, 03:32 AM bump

any new info Sublimize?
Sublimize23 11-21-2004, 06:44 PM nothing really.. I don't care much about the negative feedback anymore. he (scionfx) can keep making himself look like a jackass if he wants.
scionfx 11-21-2004, 06:44 PM If you have any problem with your emblems purchase from us. We will take care of you, and we even offer refund all you money back!
We are in business to take care Scion owner.
Mr. Japan why don't you try to sell you emblem for $8.00 and don't try to be Mr "FBI". We had never say anything bad about our competition.
We are here to save you money on the item you need. We care about your feeling but we had never received your e-mail or phone call about your bB emblems won't fit.
Are you and Mr. Japan are the same people..... NOW Mr.. CIA ;is here....
TOAST3R 11-21-2004, 06:49 PM nothing really.. I don't care much about the negative feedback anymore. he (scionfx) can keep making himself look like a jackass if he wants.
i dont understand how trying to fix the problem is making him look like a jackass. id buy a emblem from him just to prove you wrong if i didnt have one already.
if anyone is the jackass its you, you just want to complain about it and not take steps to solve the issue with the person who sold you it.
scionfx 11-21-2004, 07:06 PM Thansk you !
Here is the feedback who had left us: gouged me on shipping, packaged poorly, won't even fit my car.
We had sold the items at very low low price and charge flat $8.00 for shipping and handling fee. Yes,, we ship this item with regular USPS first class mail, because the item is small and we delivery the items to our winning bidder even we lost money.
You are thinking paying $8.00 for shipping for ebay item sound like we had over charge you.
You can buy a muffler at ebay for $1.00 and paid for shipping $35. this is how ebay now.
"gouged me on shipping" ..... what come around goes around....
pileofmonkeycrap 11-21-2004, 07:08 PM In my opinion, $8.00 for shipping an item that light IS gouging. I personally can't stand when sellers try to make profit on shipping.
scionfx 11-21-2004, 07:09 PM Thanks you all!
For fist 5 people PM me with your name and shipping address, I will ship you a front bB emblem from us for free, just to prove we don't delivery any parts that won't fit.

you also cant say shipping was a ripoff because the amount paid to ship item was less than what was paid for shipping. theres other costs, the packaging, time to package it and getting it to the post office.
sure maybe the shipping was excessive, but thats how ebay works. i rememeber paying 10-15$ to have a memory card shipped to me for my digital camera, and it was the size of a book of matches.
if you dont like the persons shipping price you look for someone with it cheaper. u cant say you were gouged, you agreed to that shipping price, it was most likely clearly posted on the page.

neneago 11-22-2004, 12:53 AM Scionfx....Take pictures of your items. I want to see them in original toyota packaging. Scionfx sells under two different names on ebay. scionsport and performance-r. He also runs the websites scionsport.com and scionfx.com You already have a couple of negative from people that say their emblem dont fit. I would understand if one person didnt know how to put it on. But several?? I only have one screen name. Its the same for ebay and SL. I dont bull____ my clients.
BoomBox757 11-22-2004, 12:56 AM If scionfx has confidence enough to send 5 free emblems then i'm sure they are fine

Sublimize23 11-22-2004, 01:59 AM I'm going to clear this up. I don't want my money back. I want something that fits, and I got it to fit on my own. I'm done with this whole deal. scionfx- your business practices are questionable at best. your item descriprion clearly said "new in box JDM toyota part" and guess what? it wasn't. I believe lying in an item description is fraud, even if it is as little as that. that's not what I'm upset about, but it is something. your description should have read; "new in bubblewrap emblem, straight off the injection molder I have in my house."
:-D
but seriously, use caution when dealing with mr. scionfx.
that's about all I have to say to that.
Sublimize23 11-22-2004, 02:00 AM I'm pretty sure it's against eBay rules to have more than one user ID too.
neneago 11-22-2004, 02:20 AM Sublimize....He charge you for UPS shipping but sent it USPS first class? He broke the auction contract. If he says he's sending UPS that means UPS unless he contacts the buyer and they both agree in different shipping methods.
He should refund you for shipping except the cost of the envelope .50 cents and the price of first class mail .60 cents.
Sublimize23 11-22-2004, 02:25 AM he shipped regular USPS mail, with 2 34 cent stamps. it took a week and a half to get to me.
firesquare 11-22-2004, 04:41 PM thats messed up.
i still am afraid to use e-bay just for this and lots of other complaints on e-bay
i mean some of the stuff on here makes no sense. lets think here
what is the ORIGINAL price on a bB emblem in japan
what are americans paying for it.
and how much is needed to pay for shipping from the importer and why would you pay $12 for something and $10 for shipping.
thats why i bought from the slstore.com and bought my bB emblem from here. i wan nowhere concerned about price and wanted a quality fit. the emblem should install in less than 15 seconds. thats INCLUDING the stock scion emblem.
neneago looks like a trustworthy person with his items
his pictures are in order and clean
and FREE SHIPPING!!
nenago youll see me picking up a rear emblem from you one day.
any negative feed back on here ie enough for me to move elsewhere

$12.........$8 is not getting gouged
One's just gouging more than the other in this case. Doesn't cost more than $.75 to ship them emblems. Add a little $$ for packing supplies and maybe $4 is a fair price...$5 even. But the sellers on eBay think that most people only look at the bid price or buy it now price. Most people do and then are raped for shipping.
phinz 11-23-2004, 11:14 AM update: I double sided taped it, I used decent tape, and it looks clean, and holds, but I'm not sure how it'll hold up when I wash it. If it won't hold, I'm going to order the REAL one from that guy on here... :(
FWIW, I used double-sided tape to put a Eunos Roadster nose badge on my Miata in 1997. It's still there to this day, and it's been through many washes and thunderstorms.
pileofmonkeycrap 11-23-2004, 01:32 PM Yeah, double sided tape will hold for years. I'm applying the Bb emblem to my billet grill with double sided tape tonight. Just has to grind off the prongs first.
TOAST3R 11-23-2004, 01:33 PM I hate you milkman dan! haha i had to say that
EVO8U 11-24-2004, 01:56 AM I just recieved my emblems from him also. They were obvious fakies. The rear badge came with a very thick adhesive backing which i had to install myself, and looked cheap when installed. It was so thick you could see the white adhesive from a distance. The front badge did not clip in and one of the tabs broke while trying. I guess I should have researched before buying.
Sublimize23 11-24-2004, 02:11 AM do you guys believe me now? leave him a negative.
Max2k 11-24-2004, 03:25 AM I really, really doubt that there's enough money in this business to make it worth it to counterfeit these things. Seriously, who would go to the trouble to do that kind of ____?
Scionfx seems like a reputable guy, I'm sure plenty of people on here have had good relationships with him/her/them.
neneago 11-24-2004, 04:29 PM Max2k...did you see my earlier post about his accounts on ebay? I had my wife take some pictures of the rear emblem. Sorry for the upside down one. She took the emblem out of the toyota packaging. Notice the gray adhesive....Its perfectly molded to the emblem.
http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic/338W7RUZ/206798.jpg
The brown plastic prevents the adhesive from Sticking to the packaging.

How come I never see scionfx placing original pictures of his emblems on ebay or SL???
neneago 11-24-2004, 06:21 PM All in Toyota packaging. No Factory rejects. :)

...... :lol:
EVO8U 11-25-2004, 04:22 AM If you saw the badges I recieved, theres no way you would question if they are the real thing. There was no question for me they were fake. So it is worth it for someone to make these obviosly. What factory badges do you know of that you have to apply the adhesive yourself? Come on people!
Sublimize23 11-25-2004, 04:36 AM scionfx- man up, and tell us the truth.
TOAST3R 11-25-2004, 08:32 AM maybe it could be the supplier he got them from? thats if he didnt make them himself. seems kind of dumb to make fake ones.
neneago 11-25-2004, 10:02 PM Most likely they are not fake. They are factory rejects.

It is funny that why some said fit perfect and some said don't fit..Why???
Can Neneago's people making rumor, so he can get all the scion business?? Maybe Performance-R can do the same thing, buy his item and leave negative feedback, and then some to Scion Life to tell people that doesn't fit....
I think it can be a game of business...I am just wondering, so don't take it personal... :roll: I got nothing to do with all of them...

Notice this 'ksxa' character only have 4 posts- all of them in this thread and all of them defending performance-r/scionfx/whatever. :lol: :lol: You must think we all started using the internet yesterday.
If you want to defend yourself, why don't you post some photos of your badges in their original packaging, like Naneago did. You've got nothing to hide, right? Instead of slandering other people behind phony names.
fr130 11-26-2004, 07:40 PM I'm neutral on this subject. But I compared the back of Neneago and ScionFx/PerformanceR bB rear badge. Neneago bB emblems uses a brown/orange vinyl to keep the adhesive from sticking. While ScionFx uses a clear vinyl backing.
neneago 11-26-2004, 08:49 PM It is funny that why some said fit perfect and some said don't fit..Why???
Can Neneago's people making rumor, so he can get all the scion business?? Maybe Performance-R can do the same thing, buy his item and leave negative feedback, and then some to Scion Life to tell people that doesn't fit....
I think it can be a game of business...I am just wondering, so don't take it personal... :roll: I got nothing to do with all of them...

lol!!! Do you also notice the bad english. Exactly like scionfx. LOL!!! Who is he trying to fool?? I've net so many people at scion meets and they will back me up. I have 0 negative as a seller.
Max2k 11-26-2004, 10:15 PM Scionfx is apparently going to send me one for free. I'll report back to y'all on its authenticity.
neneago 11-27-2004, 02:58 AM Scionfx is apparently going to send me one for free. I'll report back to y'all on its authenticity.
Front or back? Make sure you take pictures of the packaging and the emblem. :)
Skeeterflea 11-27-2004, 05:29 PM Scionfx is apparently going to send me one for free. I'll report back to y'all on its authenticity.
Pleeeeease. Do you really think he's going to actually send you the same product he's been shipping to the other people on this post?!?! Get real man.
And if he does then I'm happy you could come out and prove to the rest of us what we have been telling you for 4 pages now.
Now here's something for you to quote me on and take out of context ScionFuX. I sent my emblem back and got my money back. Thank you. For doing what was morally right. Now please stop having your friends/family post here or creating the fake usernames... whatever it is that your so cleverally doing, stop. I bought the front emblem from this company and it didn't fit. Friggin Period! People where suggesting I was putting on wrong? Go find something better to do with your time than waste everyone else's by posting here. Funny how when I snap the OEM Scion emblem back on it fits... "on, off, on, off" rocket science ain't it !!?! May bee I shud sumbit mah smurts to NasA? All sublime was trying to do was alert the other members of scionlife.com that he got jipped out of his twenty bucks. Is that so wrong? If you didn't purchase the emblem from this man and had no expierence like Sublime did, how can you post in disagreement with him?! Maybe your more worried about your lil post counter than the facts and testimony that REAL customers have presented to you.
....
...
.....
I think that about sums it up.
If I somehow offended you...
:evil:

yes the scion emblem fits on easy but when i put my bb badge on it needed a harder push to snap on than the scion emblem, and i got mine from neneago. thats why we suggested maybe it was being put on wrong or not being pushed in hard enough.
Skeeterflea 11-27-2004, 05:51 PM Just placed my order Nengeago. Won't be here when it arrives, but I hope it's not so hard that my wife can't put it on 8)
neneago 11-28-2004, 04:05 AM Just placed my order Nengeago. Won't be here when it arrives, but I hope it's not so hard that my wife can't put it on 8)
Thanks for the order. I'm still waiting for scionfx to place pictures. :)
Max2k 11-28-2004, 06:20 PM I'll be sure to take pictures of everything, dont you worry.
05_camo_boxb 11-29-2004, 12:04 AM ya sounds fake i went with nenango got mine in like 4 day's all oem and fit perfect...sorry to hear that....ive been waiting for my other stuff for my box for 3 weeks now so i know how frfustarting it is to get bs from company's service these days just suck ___.....
scionfx 11-30-2004, 02:26 AM First 5 people will received free bB emblems from us. Here is the name: TOAST3R, BoomBox 757, Max2k, VanillaRice, Lekker. You should received your emblems shortly.
For those people need front or rear bB emblem... On special for $10. with free shipping. If you not happy with with your bB emblem money back guarantee!
By the way, I learn my English in Japan!
neneago 11-30-2004, 05:22 AM Now Im certain they are factory rejects. If I buy my emblems DIRECTLY from Toyota in Toyota city for a price much higher than $10. How is it possible that he is selling an "original" emblem for that price with free shipping???? I still haven't seen pictures of your "original" emblems.
westsype 11-30-2004, 05:44 AM Scooped up a badge from nenago and it fits perfect. Someone stole my last one so I just popped the new badge in. Toyota factory wrapping and USPS priority mail 2-3 days not bad.
neneago 11-30-2004, 07:24 AM http://www.geocities.com/neneago/
scionfx 11-30-2004, 06:40 PM Mr. Japan.... I had never say anything bad about your business nor bad mouth you! You don't have to saying my is factory reject. I paid for $15 front emblems and $17 for rear emblem from Mr. Hank at Topline Motorsport. My don't have the toyota part number when I received from him, because he didn't want us to order them direct from Toyota.
I just want to lost money to sell those emblems because you are such an A... Sorry about my Japan English! You can keep all your emblem to your bB.
Business is business... Maybe next month I just want to wish Marry Christmas to everyone with free emblem.. again
TOAST3R 12-01-2004, 08:20 PM i recieved mine today but i cant comment on how it fits since i recieved the rear emblem. but it did have a toyota package number on it, but it was ripped off above the barcode.
also it has that brown plascticky backing protecting the sticky part, when stuck to vehicle the backing wont be visible, it leaves the gaps open so the painted part of vehicle shows.
it also came via ups in a huge box, the box is a 12x8x4 box. seems an overkill. the item had some bubble wrap around it and left to bounce around in box.
i cant confirm fake or legit since i have no other one to match it with
TOAST3R 12-01-2004, 08:30 PM ya i just checked my inbox this is part of the msg
Dear Kirby,
We had shipped out your front bB emblem on 11/23.
i cant really complain since it was free, who knows maybe them kooky japanese drive backwards :)
scionfx 12-02-2004, 12:29 AM Hi TOAST3R.. Sorry I had ship your front bB emblem MIX with BoonmBox 757 's rear emblems... He is asking me to send him the rear......
I Guess he is getting the front instead... Now I feel bad.. I should check the shipping box again when I shipped to you guys.
LVBoxman 12-02-2004, 02:04 AM I bought the front bB emblem and it fit's fine. I don't know why the big fuss $20.00 delivered is a great price but still people ____ n moan. Ask questions first about shipping and refunds before bidding.
Sublimize23 12-03-2004, 03:24 AM to all:
performance-r and I have withdrawn the negatives. I admire the initiative taken by the seller to make things right. no hard feelings, I have my badge on, there's no more negatives, everything is ok.
neneago 12-03-2004, 07:42 AM Cool. Seems like the people that were suppose to get free emblems. Got originals. That's great. Maybe he will stop sending people factory rejects.
Tango 12-06-2004, 11:53 AM Got my badges from neneago. Removed rear badge with hairdryer and fishing line....took ten minutes. Front badge snapped right in!! I'm really happy with them! :D
Thanks neneago!!!
Here are the pics:

neneago 12-06-2004, 12:22 PM Looks great! How do the speakers sound? Are you going to remove the scion logo from the back?
Tango 12-06-2004, 12:34 PM Looks great! How do the speakers sound? Are you going to remove the scion logo from the back?
The speakers sound great.......I get an instant light show when I turn it up because the rear view camera vibrates and it shows up on the monitor. :D
I don't know what to put in place of the rear logo. Haven't found anything that catches my eye so I might just leave it in place.
Max2k 12-06-2004, 08:05 PM Got my badge today, it fit but didn't really snap into place. The plastic was really... rigid. I'll post some pictures later.
Lekker 12-07-2004, 04:09 AM Got the free front badge this past weekend from ScionFx. The badge came in the original parts package with barcode removed. The badge fits, but it didn't "snap" into place, but it is tight and I don't think it will be going anywhere.
In reflection to all the $hit that has been flying around in this discussion I think it is important that we all realize that you get what you paid for. Pay 20 bucks and you get 20 bucks worth of plastic. When you buy stuff online you are taking a risk. But from my point of view ScionFx is a stand up guy.
To everyone else... can't we just stop _____ing and moaning and move on to more important topics... like lift kits and offroad tires??? Anyone, Anyone???
Cheers,
Lekker
Anyone else want to send me some more free stuff?!?
neneago 12-07-2004, 07:59 AM His plan is working. Send good products for free. That way the guys come here and say good things about him. Lekker...Did you read any of the other post?? They were getting emblems WITHOUT the toyota packaging. Also read where he says that he "pays" $17 dollars for each emblem. How can he be giving away free emblems? Also... He sells them on ebay for $18 dollars total. A seller must pay ebay fees, paypal fees, packaging, and shipping. How is he making a profit?? Wake up and smell the coffee. Why hasn't he posted original pictures in his auctions or here on ebay? He stop selling emblems under the screen name performance-r. He now only sells emblems under scionsport. I'm not trying to get more customers. I just dont like it when people get screwed.
Lekker 12-07-2004, 05:28 PM I did read all the other damn posts. I have to say the guy was straight up with me. I'm not going to assume anything about anyone elses experience.
It's not fun getting screwed, but the world is just that way. You get what you pay for. I'm doing nothing but saying that he treated me right.
So suck it you pretentious prick.
hotbox05 12-07-2004, 05:38 PM wow dude fierce.
Lekker 12-08-2004, 01:08 AM Look... I'm not trying to ____ in anyone's cheerios, but I am entitled to make a statement just like anyone else. neneago has by some unknown power declared himself the god of bB badges and has made it his job to degrade and disprove what anyone else might say.
I don't deny that he may have made a valid point here or there in this thread. Neneago needs to realize that I have the right to express my opinion just as much as he does. I got a badge and it worked well. Scionfx was a stand up guy to me so I said that.
I take what everyone says online with a grain of salt. Everyone has a bias. Neneago just needs to learn to accept that instead of _____ing and moaning and creating ____ when others disagree. If you look at my previous post in this thread I'm not making assumptions about the products that others recieved. I only mention myself.
So I may be harsh, but I'm fair. And I don't have a desire to spend all my time online to whine and _____ about others.
PEACE!!!
Max2k 12-08-2004, 01:21 AM Free ____, I'm not complaining.
EVO8U 12-08-2004, 01:28 AM Bottom line for me is, I was not happy with either of my badges I recieved from him. I could have bought both badges from neneago for only $3 more total, so I dont think this is a "you get what you pay for" deal. I have have tried to get my money back for them, and cant because they were installed. Problem is,I didnt realize how crappy they were untill they were installed. I have emiled him but never receive final answers to anything. I give up!!!
BoomBox757 12-08-2004, 01:32 AM you should be able to if they are fake and they say they are a toyota product
Sublimize23 12-08-2004, 03:45 AM Look... I'm not trying to ____ in anyone's cheerios,

agreed, I think his power trip is cause he lives in japan so he thinks he is the JDM master
neneago 12-08-2004, 05:26 AM lol!! Im the JDM master? lol!! you guys are funny. I'm just trying to help. If you like your emblems...Fine. Lekker. You came here and posted that you were sastified with the emblems. That should of been enough. Why start telling people to stop whining and _____ing? Your telling them not to post their opinion but you can...??? Why call me a prick? I'm not going to lower myself to your level. Have fun guys.
Bomex-bB 12-08-2004, 06:09 AM hope i get mine soon
cant wait!!!
neneago 12-08-2004, 07:32 AM I'm done posting in this thread. I try to help and people who dont even know me insult me.
BoostedRex 12-08-2004, 03:14 PM You guys should lay off neneago. Neneago is just trying to help all of us and keep us from getting screwed by the ebay fakes.

h8ianxpress 08-15-2005, 01:33 AM I ordered a front badge from scionfx. I had already purchased a rear badge from a local shop. When the badge from scionfx arrived, I opened it, and immediately thought it was a cheap knock-off. Why? because it was the wrong color. It was too silver, and didn't have enough black in it. It appeared chrome, when it should have looked like nickel. It completely didn't match the authentic rear badge I had already purchased.
So, I came here and searched for badge info, and found this thread. I immediately order one from neneago, and it arrived today. It matched the rear badge perfectly.
Bottom line: neneago 's product is legit, and scionfx's are fake. Period. No question about it.
If you want to save money, or if you want your bB badge to look like it came from a snap-tight model kit, order from scionfx.
If you want your badge to be real JDM, and actually match the tint of the rear JDM badge, order from neneago.
Mosh_xB 08-15-2005, 02:35 AM a word of advice: don't buy from "perforamce-R" on ebay
i wouldn't buy from someone with a misspelled name anyways, but thanks for the adice.
hahahaha
suspended 08-15-2005, 11:35 AM I have to be honest, I ordered the rear bB bumper guard from scionsport.com, and when it came in, i looked it it, put it on, no questions, then my buddy pointed out why is mine shorter then my buddies, well we compared, my bumper guard was half the size of his (and most we've seen on the internet), i called scion sport and they said this is the second gen. bB bumper guard, they don't make the long ones anymore and their discontinued...ordered one from newscionparts.com 2 months later....got the long one...so that was about 120 dollars down the drain. It did come in toyota packaging, but I've come to the conclusion that I got the first gen bB guard...and I've had 2 friends go through the same thing, and its not even the same thing that is in their picture on their site, on their site, it covers the whole bumper
ZONkBoX 12-20-2005, 05:35 PM I am ressurecting this thread to bring it back around to the first post and warn people about buying bB badges on ebay.
Scionsport (mentioned in the above post) on ebay is Performance R mentioned in the post that started this thread. I know because I bought some bB badges from scionsport and the paypal name was Performance R. And he's still selling crappy knockoff bB badges. The rear badge I bought from him is falling apart after about a week and the front badge doesn't fit right.
So BEWARE of the cheap bB badges on ebay! They are usually poor imitations.
I was lucky the Scion Life rummage sale came up, because I was able to score some OEM bB badges for $14 each. Thank you Scion Life!
spongebBox 12-20-2005, 11:34 PM i'll sell you my front grill bB badge i purchased that FITS....jus PM me! :)
tanakasan 12-21-2005, 08:22 PM I also got a pair of xB emblems from the rummage sale. Rockin' price and service! Thanks SL!
The rear came sealed w/Toyota p/n but the front was in a plain bubble wrap envelope, taped shut. I thought that maybe an imposter. But can't be, this is from ScionLife I told myself. The difference is that the real ones are cold. They are actual nickel/real metal plating while the wannabes are plastic chromed like a model car kit.
I did buy a less expensive version from fleabay previously. It fit fine and is on the car now. You do have to push real hard to hear it "snap" into place. Be sure to support the grille from the inside, right at the emblem, or it could crack the grille!
Just my .02
hawaiiguy 12-22-2005, 06:17 AM Bought both emblems (fnt/bck) from our local dealer (Servco Scion) back in May for $44.07 plus 4.166% tax...
Really feel for those who got ripped off from them..
I've bought from Scionsport recently (rear lights/black rear bumper applique) and felt they were up and up with me (contact was George Chou).
jpscion 01-10-2006, 08:34 PM yup just to confirm for anyone with doubts. got my bb emblems in from scionsport.com and they are definitely fake. the rear emblem has 3m tape about 1/8" if not thicker on it and the front doesnt snap quite all the way. oh well live and learn right?
MyWhiteBox 01-10-2006, 10:07 PM if it's too good to be true, then most likely it's a fake. the real ones cost more but they're worth it.
cierrecart 01-28-2006, 05:14 PM Got my emblems from Scionsport the other day and the fit just fine. One ws bought through ebay, the other bought directly through the shop. Pay no mind to the dirty car:
