i dunno how to do a poll...but was wondering on everyones' thoughts on toyota emblems on the scion tc....in my opinion, it a bit ricey..but nothing too extreme...anyone else?

 

I dont see how it can be rice, Specially on the xa and xb since they started as Toyotas. Also, since Scion is really toyota, i dont think it makes a big difference. Wouldnt call it ricey though.

 

i don't think toyota emblem makes it rice.. but a Lexus 1 would...

 

there is a toyota logo on ur engine so no it wouldnt be rice.

 

It wouldn't be as Scions are toyotas with a different badge. On my xA, i took out all the exterior scion badges and put the toyota emblems or what not needed to have that jdm look.

 

dont be so concerned if other people will think its rice or not..do it if you want, dont do it if you dont want.

 

people don't seem to have a problem putting TRD emblems on their Scions

 

Well the xA and the xB are rebadged toyota cars... so I don't see a problem with having that JDM look with Toyota emblems (much like acura owners replace their badges with honda ones). However the tC is not a rebadged toyota. It was developed exclusively for Scion and for the American consumer. So I might have to consider that rice. Just my .02

 

I agree.

 

Someone please tell me WTH rice means!

Whocares....

 

1. rice n. A cereal grass (Oryza sativa) that is cultivated extensively in warm climates for its edible grain. The starchy grain of this plant, used as a staple food throughout the world.

2. rice - adj. Word used to describe cliches in the import tuner car culture. Any unnecessary exterior modification that does not help and even hinders the performance or styling of a Japanese import.

 

Gotta agree BSP.... Scion is a whole different entity.

Should I go reg. for ToyotaLife?

 

MVA in Towson, MD made m car Rice than, cuz my registration is marked Toyota/Scion tC hehehe


I'm ricey

 

but they make TRD parts for scion... not SRD... lol

 

My $.02,
It's a Scion. I know Technically a Toyota. You don't see Lexus peole putting Toyota emblems on their cars. We should represent Scion.



Later

 

both the badges are ugly in my opinion. too freaking big. remember the days when we had smaller emblems? those were nice and not too big.

i already debadged the tC emblem and am gonna work my way to the scion badging as soon as i see some groove replacements for those.

 

It's a goddamn Scion. It came from the factory as a Scion. If you put anything other than a Scion badge in its place....rice, my friend.

 

Actually I do see them. And it looks really good. I am referring to the LS and GS series.

Scion is more Toyota than Lexus. Right now Scion does not have it's on seperate dealership network. It relies on Toyota.

Personally I would debadge all the emblems. I dont need to continue to advertise for Scion and not being payed for it. If you own a tC, look for an "Avensis" badge. You should lean towards your European Origins instead from the designs from the House of the Rising Sun. Hopefully people wont put a big SCION window banner like I continue to see on Hondas and Acuras. Wait, I have seen them and the cars dont even belong to a dealership.
