Thanks

I walked around my Toyota dealership with the Scion badge and sized it up.. Ended up being identical in size to the front grill emblem of an 05 Tacoma. Only issue is that the Tacoma uses a clip-on type badge and not adhesive type. So i removed the tabs and lined the back with 3m VHB

Not a fan of rebadging, but it looks like quality work. Good job.

The dremel was for the clips as well as cutting out the area behind the emblem. If you remove the scion emblem that lined texture doesn't carry over behind the scion emblem, it's flat to allow the factory vhb to adhere to it. So if you stick a toyota badge on there you'll see random smooth patches from where the scion badge originally sat. So instead of that looking like crap, I took the dremel to it and cut out the shape of the toyota emblem behind it
