is that how much they normally charge for keyed doors?

for that price I might as well just shave the back trunk, how much do one of those cost at a body shop?

is it on the rear handle near the actual scion emblem is? if so you could probably get that part repainted for 50 or 100

Perfect Legal to Debadge your Cars Emblem...

I live in the Most Restricted State when it come to crazy laws.

But, the U.S. Constitution and the First Amendment guarantees Freedom of Speech.

So I can ride around in my LUV MOBILE/BATMOBILE/GIANTS MOBILE (as long as it meets my DMV's requirements)

Besides, I Paid $ Cash for it so it no longer belong to Scion. The very first day I drove it off the dealer's lot into my Bat Cave and had ALL the emblems De-badge

everything in California is not allowed nowadays and I don't really know whats legal or not, and I want to make sure I don't get pulled over for something silly like a debadge.

There are No State Laws prohibiting anyone from owning a Custom/Customized or Modded Vehicle.

If you drive it in the streets, all it has to do is meet your DMV's requirements.
i.e. Smog & Emissions, headlights, taillights, mirrors, turn signals, license plate laws (1 or 2)..etc...

Other cops would say it's illegal. Though, I have read that manufacturers like Porsche, Lamborghini and, Mercedes Benz have this as an option on specific models.

Au contraire. It doesn't matter what the cops say or think. No need for a Manufacturers Option.
Because there are No Laws, Statutes, or Ordinances that Prohibit anyone to remove, change, or de-badge your Badges or Emblems.
No Tickets..None..Nada..Zilch..Zero..End of Story...

No more, than they can give you a ticket if you want to repaint or wrap your car a different color:

*Moderators Note: She Wrapped her Entire car in Peach but, decided to leave her Scion Emblem on. Her Choice, Her Decision.
If she deleted her Emblem/Badge, No ticket to change her color or de-badge her emblem.
