I think that bike next to your xB is making me nervous!!
Too plain for me. the way I look at the badges it this- I paid good money for the car, and I am proud of owning a scion....
good job though.....

I do get close to those bikes, but they never give me any trouble. I'm mounting both of them on the wall in due time, though.

Wait, I thought the Scion emblem had 2 mounting holes? Or is that just the tc?

Noth the xB. The rear ones are just stuck on there with double-sided tape. The front one clips into three holes.

Front grill is still stock w/ US style Scion badge. My next mod will be wheels and tires, then a new front grill. I haven't even started my new job yet, so this mod is one I could afford!!! There is a post on de-badging the front of the xB, but that requires CUTTING the old badge out, and FILLING with FIBERGLASS and of course, then, painting. No siree, what you see here is my extent of auto body knowledge!!! Thanks for the compliments... :)

How high is your celing? Bikes store well out of the way when hung upside down with self threading bike hooks. They can cost 1-3 dollars and are secure when screwed into headers in the celing. You de-badged, now un-klutter.
Tail lights look great on that color box.

You could just put a bB badge in there. Real ones just snap in and look great!
Check this thread, second page, for a pic.
If you want one, pm neneago, it'll be close to $20

Not sure how high, persay. but I'm gonna look into the hook idea, thanks for the info. And yes, I have way too much crap.

The link that Max gave is the exact source I used. I did make a few changes, however.....
"Tools" I used....
1. Hair Dryer
2. Dental Floss
3. Isopropol Alcohol (91% Rubbing Alcohol)
4. SOFT Rag/Cloth
5. Elbow Grease, Finger Tips, and Patience
6. A Good Car Washing Afterwards!
I followed the exact steps from the post Max linked. The adhesive remover I used was the rubbing alcohol. Using this, however, I did have to hand pick most of the adhesive off. (I do NOT have long fingernails, my finger tips did not scratch my paint)
I removed the residule adhesive with the alcohol.
Afterwards, I washed my baby down, and that was that! I was going to wax it today as well, but my wax has gone a miss, and I didn't have time to get any today. But I do reccomend a good wax after this process.

Same here. After a good washing to make sure I got all the Goo Gone off, I clayed, polished, and waxed afterwards.
