i jus wanna put a lexus one?can i use the one for the outside to put on their?or is it different from the outside logos?

:shock: UH-OOOOOOOO

man, when i put the Lex emblem on my grille, I never thought it would get this poular. :roll:

yup, i wanna be like you :lol: someone tell me!

is the scion logo on the sterring wheel a pop off?im to scared to touch it :D

You had better be scared, if that air bag goes off while your digging at it with the screwdriver, well .... you get the idea ... insert screwdriver here ===> :(

don't do it.

and knock out pieces of brain there :?

The air bag isn't going to go off if you dig at it with a screwdriver.
But anyway, I wouldn't put a Lexus badge on the steering wheel. I think that's going a little too far with the badge engineering. But it's your ride so do what ya want.

So you manufactur the air bag system? And you can say with out a doubt that screwing with it wont set it off? I didnt think so, tell ya what, why dont you stand under a tree while enduring a thunderstorm, chances are you wont get hit, but its still a chance.

mmmm....so no takes on doing it yet? well what one way to cover it up?is there like some plaster i can cover it up with and paint it black?

plaster? jeez, you're desperate! Get a momo steering wheel or something =P. The worse that can happen is you get impaled by it if you crash...

man i dont wanna go with another steering wheel. i jus want the lexus logo only seen. when they look on the outside they see a lexus logo, then when they look inside they see scion logo so now they wont be thrown off! lol maybe i should jus paint it black. but ive seen someone with a toyota logo on there steering wheel, so i thought they jus poped the logo off and sticked a new one on(looked like the orginal steering wheel to me) :? :? :?

the air bag cover pop right off~ then you dont have to worry about the bags going off!

You can get the toyota logo on there because they come that way jdm... If you want a lexus logo see if you can find a lexus wheel to put on there.....

mmmmm......i dont want to buy a steering wheel. ill probably find so way to cover up the logo, maybe a big sticker :?

Here is a thought--instead of having to do all that and still NOT fool anyone--why don't you sell your Scion and get a real Lexus???

i like the idea...lets all trade our scions from a lexus...hehehe...

im so pulling the Lex emblem off of my car :(

ohhkay, maybe I'm not hip and cool and all but why the heck would you want to put a Lexus badge on a car that is NOT a Lexus? OBVIOUSLY not a Lexus? This whole thread made my head hurt. :shock:

I originally did it as a joke since people were putting the bB badges on their car. Its not a bB either.

Sadly, it has come to this extreme...as the originator, it's sad to see the idea die, and honestly if it would have just stayed on Randys car, things would have just been fine.

Some of you remember the Option Wagon sticker I had over the exhaust during TSW's second fun run...Everyone asked me what was up with that, but then I started seeing more and more people rocking either an Opt2 or the actual Wagon sticker that I had. Needless to say, I took mine off...it was fun being original for a few days I suppose.

at least they called these cars bB over there...

true, but here its a Scion, not a bB. There is no left hand drive bB.

Heres my take on it. If you have to ask how to do an emblem swap, then your not original. Those that take the time to sit down and figure it out, and make it look good deserve all the credit. All these copy cats who want you to hold their hands and do these little tweeks on their xBs are really starting to ____ me off.

For Christs sake people, be original! If you want a Lexus logo on your steering wheel, then either buy a Lexus steering wheel, or buy a Lexus. If you want a little rice burner that will do the 1/4 in under 12 sec., buy a Porsche.

soo u guys dont know how to do it? :lol:

hhaa jp.

yeh i guess ur right sorry to cramp ur style........it was all a idea though i dont like to do thing in pieces, so i wanted to make sure everything was all set. mmm i guess ill try to find a alternative to the lexus....... still if i wanna change the logo on the steering wheel ne one know how ot do it without changing the steering wheel?

well why would you put a trd or a toyota becuase ITS NOT A TRD OR TOYOTA(sorry my caps was stuck :lol: )?

BUT MOM, EVERYONES DOING IT :shock:

lol i quoted the wrong paragraph. other way around

:( { resting his head in his hands }... he just doesnt get it, you try and try to explain, but he just doesnt get it

So you manufactur the air bag system? And you can say with out a doubt that screwing with it wont set it off? I didnt think so, tell ya what, why dont you stand under a tree while enduring a thunderstorm, chances are you wont get hit, but its still a chance.

Do you even know how an airbag system works? Didn't think so. How is it any different from pounding on your horn? If you've ever heard of an airbag going off while taking an emblem off it let me know. Maybe if he took the screwdriver and jammed it into the sensor behind the bumper it might go off.

ok, why the crap did you buy a scion? i can unnderstand debadging a car to give it a nice clean look. but if you still want badges, just not the badges that came on the car, then why the hell didn't you buy that other car??? you are not gonna fool anyone. IT'S NOT A LEXUS!!! it's technically not even a toyota. it's a FREAKIN SCION!!! be happy with that or sell it and get a car you are not ashamed of. just my 2 cents...

ahhh screw it :D

all i wanted to do was be COOL

The guy was correct. Prying at it will not set it off. Yes, I can say that without a doubt.

An airbag requires a number of preset parameters to be met - usually at the minium several sensors will require a degree of impact. Shock (impact) sensors and etc.

Same holds true for side curtain airbags, door encapsulated side-impact bags, seat embedded airbags etc etc etc.

You must hit a sensor, overload the electronic circuits (incorrect battery charging, improper welding on the vehicle etc) or do something else equally ignorant.

But all the same, slipping and sticking a screwdriver into the airbag will not set it off. If that were true, you would hear about 1000's of cases were people got hurt becuase the airbag exploded when they got ____ed off in traffic and were pounding on the steering wheel. It just wont happen.

Things that must happen for the air bag to fire.
1. The car must be running and the sensor in the front bumper will only fire if it is hit above 35mph. (So dont go picking at it while your driving)
2. You can bypass this by shorting the gas chamber but just closing the circuit will not fire, power is supplied from the sensor under the bumper. The only way to short it without the senor is to add 12volts to the gas chamber.

So if your really bad and run a wire from the power port to your screw driver and shove it thru the back of the air bag and touch the two post in the chamber then it will go off.
(I feel sorry for you if you do)

But if you want to eliminate all chances of it just disconnect you battery. Then the only way for it to fire is someone is really mean and walks up to you hood and reconnects your battery, jump starts the car and hits your bumper with a hammer but who needs freinds like that?

As for everyone complaining about changing the logo on your car, do it! Controversy will always draw attention and isnt that why we mod our cars anyway?

I wont do it to my Scion because i like the design of the logo but thats just me.

Hey,

How do you debadge this thing? I'm wanting to put a l33t VW symbol on the front and back of the xB so people will think it's the new microbus, 'cos the actual VW Bus is so freaking ugly. Also, anyone got round headlights? How 'bout an old-style VW muffler that makes that 'poot-poot-poot' sound? If I take a jackhammer to my steering wheel, will that damage it in any way? I want to glue a Pontiac GTO badge to it. Also, will removing the airbag alltogether impact safety? I'd really like a SOLID METAL steering wheel with some of those kick-a$$ pointed metal bolts....

; :D

just having a little fun. Pay me no heed.

it's technically not even a toyota. it's a FREAKIN SCION!!!

how is it not a toyota???? it is a toyota maybe not to us, but its still a toy

hehehe.........ahhh the long unanswered question. the only answers i got were madd people trying to dignifie the SCION logo (which was irrelevant):lol:

damn quoted the wrong thing again...me such a noob :D

If you really believe all this, go out and smack your bumper with a baseball bat right now and see what happens. The car doesn't have to be running for the airbag to deploy. I know because we have vandals in my neighborhood that go around at night and pop peoples airbags for fun.

Now correct me if i am wrong but doesnt the Scions ship with the second gen airbags which are suppost to be inteligent? What i mean by that is inteligent airbags know if the engine is running and if someone is sitting in the seat and how fast you are going.

Maybe the kids on your street are hitting older cars with first gen that just require a force greater than 10mph. (What first gen bags are rated for) or the car does not have safing senors.

As far as I know, the steering wheel is separate from the steering wheel "hub" (the center..with the airbag). I'm sure you can take it apart easily...

I think one of these square looking wheels would look cool on da Box:

http://store2.yimg.com/I/ltbmotorsport_1777_28960130

yeah, but no airbag... you just get a momo steering wheel embedded into your chest

I didn't say it looked safe, just cool... 8)

You could always fill in the second O so if you did crash it, you'd have a nice "MoM" embedded in yo' chest...

wow you all used to be angry. But the original post was wondering how to debadge the steering wheel. So has anyone debadged the wheel I am interested.

Yeah me 2. I would like to debadge the wheel cause I have debadged everything else and now it bugs me that I still have the one on the wheel.

I cant believe its not butter ... and i cant believe there is still interest in doing this. LOL

I have removed the steering wheels off of mine and the GFs xB to have the trim painted to match. If you look at it closely ( 1 ) the Scion emblem is embedded; or set into, the grey plastic of the steering wheel. (2) im sure that with the plastic trim being riveted onto the air bag assembly that the logo is too. Thats why i had to remove the air bag assembly to have the trim painted.

--- whold a thunk that this would be revived from 3 years ago?

WOW; last time I checked, Scionlife is to provide information and help to those in need of it while educating the community about Scion. These people here are telling this guy to either be original or don't ask for help. If no one asked for help, this site wouldn't really be helpful other than looking at pictures now would it?

Wow, looks like most people have something stuck up their bum in this thread...


He was asking for help; not if it was original or not. Deal is, the majority of mods people do... AREN'T ORIGINAL! That's kind of the WHOLE purpose of the website is to showoff your mods and show other people about them. Jeeze...
