Default VVTi badge

I saw somewhere where they had a VVTi badge on the front grill. Does anyone know if you can even get one or where I could find one. I would really like to have one.

i got the same badge your all talkin about but i dont trust the badge sticking to the stock grill, not much surface to stick too.....any one have any suggestions or that have experimented with it and figured a way to secure it better or perminatley secure it to the grill if u could tell me what u did that worked for u that'd be great.....i just dont trust it to stay on there for much longer

I want it on the front grill if possible. So, if any body has a good idea about getting it to stay on the grill, I would greatly appreciate it!

I would stick the emblem on a thin metal/aluminum plate of the same size and place two screws threw them and run them through the holes in the grill, then secure it with some lugnuts on the screws on the other side of the grill.

Im not sure if you understand what I am trying to say, but it was just an idea.

I get you, kind of the way they attached the front license plates?

I replaced my Tc badge with the VVT-i badge........actually it is slightly under where the old Tc badge was, right below the crease, Looks HOT!!!!!!!!.....when I'm driving by people or at a red light and there are people behind me.........i turn the music down and I can here people say "this car is hot".....or "Nice!", and I also get, "VVT-i?, that sh*t is HOT".

I'm glad that even though more and more people are getting this car and it is being seen in the street more often, it still turns heads.

I plan on turning some more heads this fall(if the S/C is actually out by then.......if not I'll wait some more), when I trade in my 05 FM Tc for an 06 w/ S/C.

I just stuck mine on with the two sided tape that was on it... Had it for about a month without any problems.

It looks pretty sharp. I wouldn't mind slapping one of those on my ride .

Thanks for the tips, I am going to try one of those ways when I get it and also thanks for the pics of what it looks like on the front grill. That was the same place where I was going to put it! It looks awesome by the way!

The vvt-i emblem is a real jdm toyota part. There are real ones on ebay that sell for around 15-20 bucks, and fake ones for about 10. There are differences such as the double sided tape used (real one uses adhesive made from toyota, fakes use 3M). And the size of the fake one is larger as well. I bought the real emblem, put it on the front grill and have had it on for 3 months with no problems whatsoever. That adhesive really sticks!!!
