Default RE-badged!

I know lots of folks like to debadge their xB, but I actually like the Scion logo . . . so much so that when I got new wheels,
I had to put the old logos from the stock wheel covers on the new wheels. Here's how they came out:



I'm liking it myself (except how dirty they are ;^) . . . . Comments?

I would've changed the orientation of the emblem to line up with the lugnuts.

GOOD idea! The cap aligns randomly when it goes in, so I can easily pop it out and line it up as I tap it back in.
(I wasn't paying attention to that kind of detail when I put them on . . . . ) THANX!!

I agree it'll look much better that way.

Thanx; I'm glad you like it!

The wheels are Sport Edition from Tire Rack (http://tinyurl.com/3amzqz). The logos are held on the stock covers with rectangular studs on each
end of the logo, so all I had to do was to grind matching slots in the Sport Edition center caps for the studs to slide into and then epoxy them in place.
Oh yeah, I did that AFTER I painted the center caps . . . .

Not bad pooder. Did you happen to see if any of the current Scion wheel caps would fit your aplication? I like the ones from the tC with the chrome edge around the outside.
I used 2 of my hubcap emblems to cover the rubber plugs on the strut towers and another one I trimmed down to make my original wiper hole plug cover.
