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.

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...

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...

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.

Thanks Takumi!!! 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..

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.

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.

^^ 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.

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.

Mine was easy fo' sheazy... 8)
just used some dental floss and went back in forth in a sawing motion. 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.

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.

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.

: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.
