Default To debadge or not to debadge?

I've been debating whether or not to remove the scion badge from the front grille and replace that grille with an aftermarket all mesh black grille with no spacing for a badge (like the ones on the RS 1.0's). I used paint shop prop to see what my car would like without the badge. As of now, I'm leaning towards keeping the badge on. What do you all think?

Stock:


Without badge:

Keep the front scion badge on!!! But you should definately debadge the rear tC emblem. It makes it look soo clean!!!

Keep it on for now. If you do the aftermarket grille, you might want to debadge it or paint it black. That way you can either not see the emblem painted or put it back on your tC if things don't turn out the way you had hoped.

Well, I'd just say do whatever you think looks better. Not everyone is going to like it, but as long as you do its okay. Personally, I'm kinda liking tCoy's work.

I took off the rear TC badge the minute I got my car home. I think it just looks stupid and out of place back there.

hmm...i've never really thought of that one. I've seen people that put the rear tC badge on the front, but i don't remember what it looked like. I don't think i've ever seen the rear badge on the front combined with the VVT-i emblem. Sounds like it would look pretty cool though
