So I had my FM tc for about two and a half years. I had kept it completely stock. Last week while on a ramp, hydroplaned and hit a guardrail.....




So I took the insurance money and went and got me one of these



Now that I got my new one I'm thinking of modding....removed the tC badge already, wanted to take the rear and front scion logos and paint em black. Here's the question, are the logos only stuck on with adhesives? I was going to debadge, paint and re-badge since I dont trust my stay-within-the-lines skills. Any advice will help. Next up some led mods.

 

They have double sided tape and prongs that hold them on. Not hard to remove, paint, and replace. Nice '09 btw.

 

Also the sooner you get them off the easier it is.Mine came off like butter the first week.......then later on months down the road it took hours to get them and all the adhesives off and rebuffed.

 

Sorry to hear about your old ride. How fast were you going. Cause thats some major damage. GL with the new ride.

 

ya hope you had no injuries. should of gotten another FM tho...

 

I was only doing about 60 on a ramp, rear tire hit a puddle and I spun out hitting the guardrail....good thing it was concrete otherwise there was a good 40/50ft. drop onto the highway. Was pretty sure I wanted another tC and since I figured I should get something different, got the Black Sand Pearl instead.

Am really looking forward to putting some time into this one, got my LEDs coming in soon, and and thinking of putting in some smoked fog lights. Any suggestions as to brands?

 

VRD/APT

 

Badgeless garnish, color matched eyelids (fiberglass, not vinyll), VRD's, painted interior, etc.

 

if you heat the badge before you try to pull it off the adhesive should come off easier

 

Definately do yourself a favor this time and replace those stock tires! They're absolutely horrible and most likely the reason you hydroplaned so hard.

I got my TC back in May, i'm looking to take off the Tc badge in the back this weekend. Will i definitely have to get it rebuffed or can i take dental floss and just wash off the adhesive?

 

or because he was going 60 on a ramp in the rain...

 

just get a badgless front grille, the rear scion emblem comes off with a hair drier and some dental floss, and i used super glue to put it back on

 

happy b-day jake!

 

thanks bro!

 

damn that car is effed up. good luck on this one, try not to hydroplane

 

where at did this happen?

 

Ramp going from i-10 east onto 59 north.....it wasn't really raining....a goddamn puddle.
