Default Shaving the Trunk Lid

How much do you guys think it would cost to get the scion logo hole filled and repaint the trunk lid itself. Or have you seen any alternatives to it besides putting a toyota emblem in there. Anyone fit a Lexus L in there? lol PICS please if any thanks.

you don't drive a lexus, don't put that badge on there. I can understand toyota, but not lexus.

Even a Toyota emblem doesn't fit perfectly sometimes. The one I got doesn't fully cover the post holes that the Scion emblem uses and it definitely does not fully cover up the huge hole in the middle. (What the hell is that huge hole for anyway?)

HEY! I have Scion FlipFlops, Backpack, Wristbands, Hats, Shirts, Socks, iPOD Socks, Watch, and more.... and still take my logos off the car....


If you take the panel off, take it in, have them fill and paint it (Just get a dang good match) it'll be much cheaper than having them take it off and do all the work....

the end result is pretty good though -

^YES, and I got a few trophies.... and an extra pair of stock tails as well... so I can be legal if I wanted to... or "Have" to, but, Many of the show orientated mods aren't the most street friendly...

BUT, in reality, you can still easily still the brake lights, and the difference... ALSO, my third brake light is still uncovered and bright as hell as well... so it'd be pretty hard not to see when I hit my brakes

If you want to get that piece shaved, you're looking at a few hundred bucks... to sand, fill, sand, paint, clear, and shine up... unless you know a painter/body work guy, and then it's all good.
