im thinking of just pulling it off, and was wondering if it has any marks on it, where the emblem use to be. is it still a grill or will it look crappy?

and how did u guys take it off for the people who have it blacked out, or off?

String? right?

 

The front one? It would leave a big blank oval in the center.

 

You will have to paint it black or it wont look right. I painted my logo and trim ring black as you can see in the pic below. I used a flat blade screwdriver to gently remove it from the grill to paint it. I used clear silicone adhesive to reapply it onto the car.

 

Cool, im gonna do the same...

was it a _____ to get the scion thing off?

 

no its real easy. and i didn't even need to use a new adhesive to put it back on. stayed put until i put the black grillcraft one on.

 

Looks great, I plan to do same. Was it difficult to remove the grill in order to paint the trim?

 

difficult and grill (with this car) don't go together.

the grill assembly just pops out (only clipped on) and the chrome ring is screwed onto the honeycomb portion.

may want to take off the whole bumper cover to get at the grile better if your arms are to big to get to it comfortably. but thats really easy to do too. search for the instructions for that if you need it, its in the tech section.

 

i cant even look at that clown..

horrible.. and what? im just pullling this thing off, i will not ever take the bumper off, its a friggen pain in the

a s s



that clown is scary, did he just move? or am i BAKED?

 

take the top, bottom and side out and paint it to shine.



OH YEAH!!!

 

it is not hard to take off the bumper cover. not in the least bit!
if I can do it anyone can, honestly


....and the clown moves? look at it for a while and tell me.....

 

ok paul, yeah thats so cool, now stop showing off :D

 

your evil. haha

i went threw hell with the bumper more then once, trying to get my headlights out for my retro

Where do you work? Evil Clown Chop Shop? lol

 

no i do my car stuff in the driveway..

clown came from a sudden stroke of genius. and a quick trip to after effects and google.

 

I used dental floss to take off my emblems. If its cold outside, heat up your emblems with a hair dryer. It may take you awhile with floss, but it beats nicking your paint with a screwdriver. If you take off the emblems, you'll have to deal with alignment pegs on the "Scion" emblems. The "tC" emblem is the easiest to remove. So, by removing the "Scion" ones you'll have holes on your hatch and grill where the alignment pegs are supposed to go. BTW-you don't have to paint it shiny. I used Dupli-Color Semi-Gloss Black paint. Take a peek...

Looks fine to me with a non-painted grill.

 

how did you remount the rear emblem??

 

^ double sided tape. Cut to fit.

 

^^I just stuck mine back on. Three years now, and it's still there.

 

I'm having my front and rear Scion emblems professionally black chromed next week. I'll get picks up as soon as they're done.
