I would say DON'T DO IT!!! Remember when Geos came out? It wasn't too long before they were just called Chevys and I believe that the same thing will happen to Scions. Give it a couple more years and they will just say Toyota on them and the people who are still driving around in Scions with Scion badges will still be unique.

Go for it. It'll look great! Saw a Mercury Cougar with some exterior mods/ground effects....It was badged with the Ford blue oval. It too looked unique. Do It!

i think the badging is too busy. get rid of the toyota words and move the license plate to the bottom grille. that's just my opinion.

nay

(That said, I must admit to having a tiny Toyota logo on the back of my xB. It was a sticker from the dealer and I scraped everything else off with my thumbnail but the logo part -- it is a tiny Toyota, after all . . . )

nah. It's a Scon. Just because you can put another ID on it doesn't mean you should.

If anything, go with NO badge.

the japanese bB's have no toyota badging on them at all.

they are sold through the netz dealer network , and the 3rd gen bB has a netz front logo with the new slanted bB rear logo.

I have a cfbB front emblem , rear dk chrome bB emblem

I CANNOT stand the scion logo but the toyota logo looks kinda funny on the car.

It's different but why not go with the Lexus one instead while you are at it.
