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

Default Perfect Legal to Debadge your Cars Emblem...

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.

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

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...

tC9o9 is Incorrect. The United States is a Free Country, unlike Red China. Under the 1st Amendment, you can put Any Emblem or Logo on Any Car. You can also De-Badge Any Emblem or Logo you want.
The Only Requirement is if you drive it in the streets, you must adhere to your State's DMV requirements on headlights, tail lights, mirrors, seat belts, smog & emissions and etc..

You can even put a Czech Republic, Scottish, Irish, German, Japanese, Puerto Rican, or any Foreign Emblem on your American or Foreign Car. Even Batman, Superman, Avengers, Wonder Woman..

It's called Modding / Free Expression

Interesting. But what about emblems that aren't right. I want my Kia Sorento to be a Ford Camaro Sti but maybe not so much if I'm gonna be hassled.
