Default Ordering Rumion Badges

Gonna install the Toyota rear badge, the Rumion rear badge, and the Aerotourer rear badge over the next couple of weeks. Will update with pics as I do it.

I like it, car is now a Toyota. Now I have to decide if I just wanna pull the xB, and leave the bottom blank, or add the other two Rumion badges. Took about 25 mins with hair dryer and tint squeegee.

Hahaha. Just realized I said "dumb" instead of dump in the first choice. Doh!

I've already yanked the xB emblem. Only thing on the back is the Toyo. My debate is whether to keep it clean, or add two more emblems.

I kept mine clean, though I also returned to the Scion badge (flat blacked) rather than install the Toyota (which I actually bought for the purpose). This stuff is tough and has everything to do with your personal preferences. In all seriousness, forget the poll for this, go with what most appeals to you. The Rumion badges look fine -- you just need to decide what you yourself want!

I agree. One thing I dislike about the emblems is, the way crud builds up around them. I generally pull stuff off, especially stickers and pinstripe. I'd do without the Toyo emblem if it wasnt for the holes, so I should prob just leave it as is now, with only the Toyo emblem. The thing I like about it, as opposed to the Scion emblem, is its chrome, and its custom. I already have no emblems on the front, since I have billet grills.

I think it may be time to pass on the other two emblems and move on to the underdrive pulley.

Well, you'll definitely get more impact from a crank pulley change. I personally prefer an OE diameter lightwieght, but if you're comfortable with a UD, then whatever floats your boat! There's plenty of time to continue pondering badges !

I spoke with Dan Gardner and he recommends the UDP and speaks well of the company. Great price for the mod.

The badges WILL look good on. I suggest to remove all Scion Badges and run all Toyota. Check out my pics in my album.

If you don't put on the Aerotourer rear spoiler, then skip the Aerotourer rear badge.

I agree with Trevor on the pulley; just stick with the regular lightweight pulley if you don't have a racing purpose for the UDP.

Looking at it today, I like it with only the Toyo badge, and nothing else. Very clean.

What would be your concern on the UDP, vs the lightweight? When speaking with Dan Gardner (tC Racing), as long as you do not have a big stereo, there will not be any issues.

I just like to keep it the way Toyota designed it, and if you stick with the standard LWP then you don't need to get a new belt either.

I gotcha. I wonder what the power difference is between the lightweight stock size, and the lightweight UDP.
