View Full Version : Debadged xA's? Blue_Estel 08-24-2004, 05:42 PM Anybody have any pictures of thier xA debadged? I'm thinking of doing mine but I want to see how it looks before I do it. chucksu 08-24-2004, 05:45 PM I would not mind seeing this to. Also does any one have the Trex Billet Grill set, from option wagon, on a xA? I would not mind seeing what that looks like. Back_In_Black_xA 08-24-2004, 11:13 PM I would also like to see these things. mikochu 08-24-2004, 11:36 PM http://www.mikochu.com/car/new/640/DSC02193.jpg This is the only pic I think I have that'll show my debadging...I made the xA badge into a fridge magnet... TheScionicMan 08-24-2004, 11:41 PM I saw a BCp xA that had the Scion badge removed, but not the xA... :? I thought that was kinda odd, plus there is an indented circle where the Scion logo goes on the back. Without the badge, it looks like an empty circle... mikochu 08-25-2004, 12:14 AM I saw a BCp xA that had the Scion badge removed, but not the xA... :?

Yeah, some people don't realize it's recessed until they take it off... I think there is a guy in my club (Scion Dynasty) that has his off... tjdxscion 08-25-2004, 12:38 AM I debadged the xa and then put a raised jdm trd chevron badge on the left on the right now is my club vinyl i put the xa on my center councel cuby hole i will take pictures and put them in my profile!!! ok they are in my profile now!!!!!!!! peace tjd!!!!!! hnefrdo 08-25-2004, 06:45 AM DON'T debadge the scion emblem!! i debadged it and it looked ugly as ____, so i glued it back on immediately. the rear looks better without the xa badge in my opinion, though. too bad i don't have a picture to show yu thou. uh, just take my word for it.

I have an IIP xA as well and your pics are EXACTLY what I needed to see... Now I need to ask if you're happy that you debadged the xA or do you regret removing it? Thanks Mikochu for your pic too.. TomNJXA 08-25-2004, 09:26 PM Well, I don't have my Scion logo on the back and I can tell you it looks like ___. Some kids in my neighborhood have stolen it TWICE! not to mention my valve caps too. I won't be adding it on again needless to say. TakumiJr 08-26-2004, 11:52 AM I don't regret debadging the xA sign and my dealer sticker. It look quite nice with the shorter antenna and debadged, but too bad I can't remove the Scion logo because of that indented circle. Blue_Estel 08-26-2004, 02:38 PM Shorter antenna??? Kara 08-27-2004, 08:28 PM My shorter antenna. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2002-3/15236/new-antenna.jpg stellarhavoc 08-29-2004, 06:08 AM i gotta take a pix of what i've done to my rear to share with you... wait a lil, it'll come! TakumiJr 08-29-2004, 07:06 PM I have the exact same antenna as Kara, and I wonder why :lol: GloriousMidget 08-29-2004, 07:10 PM just did my xA today...pics are on my cardomain page in my sig Back_In_Black_xA 08-29-2004, 10:17 PM Did mine today... http://www.fourthgenhatch.com/photos/scion/08-29-04/scion_082904_debadged.jpg chucksu 08-30-2004, 01:56 AM ^^ That looks great. That will be one of the first things I do when I get a xA, also remove that vinyl from around the windows. Blue_Estel 08-31-2004, 05:40 PM Where did you get your short antenna and how much did it cost? GloriousMidget 08-31-2004, 09:40 PM http://search.ebay.com/scion-antenna_W0QQsokeywordredirectZ1QQfromZR8 this is just from a quick search on ebay... manejounxa 09-01-2004, 07:34 PM is it really hard to debadge the xa..what will i need.i like the way it looks debadged.........................juan chucksu 09-01-2004, 07:39 PM is it really hard to debadge the xa..what will i need.i like the way it looks debadged.........................juan from what I have read its not that hard. 1. Hair Dryer or heat gun. (Take heat source & heat the badge up for a little while) 2. Fishing line or something similar. (Take line like flosh & rub behind badge.) 3. Remove remaining glue. (Use a product ment for this cant think of names right now) 4. Wash Area & then wax. I think thats about all there is to it. manejounxa 09-01-2004, 08:01 PM is it really hard to debadge the xa..what will i need.i like the way it looks debadged.........................juan from what I have read its not that hard. 1.

I didn't need wax or anything, the glue just rubbed off on your fingers. My car was set out in the sun most of the day, so I didn't need to heat it, either. Back_In_Black_xA 09-02-2004, 03:43 AM You don't even really need a heat gun. All I did was take dental floss and saw off the badge, than pick the goo left over with my fingers and than washed it off clean. That was it. SCI_FIRE 09-15-2004, 05:31 AM When I debadged mine, I left it out in the sun, poured some "Goo Gone" around the badge, pried it off with dental floss (which kept breaking), then cleaned it up with more Goo Gone. Was easy. I would like to take the Scion logo off, then handpaint a small red dragon head, surrounded by flames on the indented circle. Any round type of logo would look good there. I was thinking of putting a Scion Evolution sticker there, but put it on the bottom right of the rear window instead. On the other hand, the Scion logo doesn't bother me, so I have left it on there for now. The gray pinstriping was a freebie from Fisk, who pinstriped the flames. I really like what he did with it. I am seriously wanting to remove the rear wiper, but first I have to find something to put on the wiper nub. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v121/Ravenna3/SCI%20FIRE/SciFire8-28-04.jpg chucksu 09-15-2004, 06:50 PM :shock: SCI FIRE Thats a great looking xA you got there. I would say if you got some metal skills maybe take the whole wiper system out of the back & weld a patch into place. That would smooth out the rear & take some weight off the car with out all the stuff for the wiper to work. |
