Well i have had the tc for a bit over a year now, and i thought to myself:

that beast needs to get that nasty dealer sticker off and maybe some other stuff too...

Before pics CLICK FOR FULL SIZE





AlMOST THERE


AHH THERE WE GO!


what you guys think? better? i think so!

i suggest everyone do this, its very easy, all it takes is a blow dryer, some isopropyl alachol and a CLEAN towel + about 10 minutes!

thanks for lookin!

 

black out the scion emblem!, but it looks better

 

i plan on it, but i cant paint for nothin!

3rd tail light too....

:D

 

x2 on blackin out the scion emblem

 

its real easy i just pulledmine off and gave it a good two coats, it looks way better when other stuff is blacked out

 

ha ha, dealer sticker was removed at the dealer

 

what paint did you use? did you use a clear coat?

i think i would want the letters in the logo to be white...

 

I took mine off then painted them both black. Now peeps ask me where did I get the black emblems from.

 

i think it would look good on my particular car to be whited out with black scion letters on the front emblem, and blacked out with white scion letters on the back emblem...

i wish i could paint well, it seems like everything i even practice on turns out super crappy...

 

u waited a year, i would of did that at the dealership lot if i had the chance to. :D

 

yeah i have no idea why i waited so long to do it, i have never even been there since i got it, except for my free oil change....

i hate my dealer....

now they dont get advertising when all the girlies be starin me down :D

 

Dulpi-Color Engine Enamel. (Semi-Gloss Black.)

Dupli-Color Acrylic. (Blue can, clear top.)

White paint pen. (For you.)

I think I did 3 coats of both. (3 or 4, can't really remember.) Doesn't take long at all. I did my own and I'm not the painting guru. Painted them almost 2 years and they still look good.

 

hmmm i just might have to try this....

did you sand it at all or just straight spray it?

was the glue that was on there enough to reapply the emblem or did you have to use something else?

sorry im a real painting newb...

 

flush out the sky-ion emblem!

 

you car is hella clean dakine, but i personally like the scion emblem in the hatch garnish instead of just nothing there....

I need to colormatch them bad boys....

 

I guess it's a non-socal thing isnt it? I rarely see dealer stickers, and if i do, they're from out of town.

 

I can't believe you waited so long to do that!!!

Looks much better now.

 

grr i hate those damn stickers. i took mine off right when i got home from the dealer and i actually made the dealer give me a screwdriver to take off their stupid tag on the front.

 

haha it was kinda funny, i was driving last night a couple hours after i took off the sticker and badge, and i got asked if it was a new lexus...

i just shook my head and walked away laughing...some people are soooo dumb

 

All cars look much better without stickers and badges on the back. I didn't get a dealer sticker, but I removed my tC emblem about 10 minutes after I got home from the dealership. I'm in the process of getting rid of the Scion badge too.

People used to ask me dumb questions about what kind of car it is, but then I got a Scion license plate frame to eliminate the confusion. Once the Scion badge is gone, I think I will lose the license plate frame too. It will be a mystery once again.
