Has anyone take off the scion logo on the front and back of the xD yet? Are they both just attached with glue?

Also does anyone have any recommendations on adhesive for putting custom badging back on?

 

it should be 3M'ed taped on and use 3M double sided tape to stick it back on...

 

havent seen the xDs but usually the Scion emblems are glued but have a hole uner them. the model badges are just glued, no holes

 

Does it have a hole? The front badge is just too big and fugly to stay there too long.

 

That front badge ... they make it so something just has to be there. If you take the badge off, there's the recessed area, if you fill the gap in, there's still the dimple in the hood line.

 

that's it's nose! you can't take it off!!

 

I did mine on the xB

 

Yeah, you pretty much have to have the scion emblems or subsitutes or something there. I took off my scion emblems and painted them. The model emblem has no holes or anything behind it though.

 

kill... lets see the picts

 

Sure, I'll post the pics this weekend.

 

I'll post more when I apply them.

 

i agree...something has to go there instead. maybe a toyota symbol? make it JDM lol.

painting it is a good idea, although i haven't decided if i want to do red/black or red/gold. hmm...

i'm interested in those pics!

 

killeatandrepeat: fyi no pics allowed in signatures

The emblems look really cool painted. Now I'm getting an idea to do for my own Did you do them yourself or have a bodyshop do them?

 

I had the guy who tinted my windows remove them with a heatgun when he debadged my xD logo. Then just used car spray paint. 4 coats of black and then 4 coats of clear. Gave it alot of time to dry, took 2 days. My camera phone doesn't do it justice. Now I'll use double sided sticky tape to reapply. Finished pics up soon.

 

lets see this, I want to take the front one off and paint it white and put it back on, or make my own, not sure yet

 

Ok, update... They looked great for a week and then started to crack and peel. I used duplicolor car spraypaint. I took them off and dropped them off at a car paint shop and they're gonna do em for $10. I believe they use a special paint for plastic. Also, I think they sand them down first. When I get em back, I'll show you guys. I apologize for any misinformation.

 

good to hear the front and rear "scion" logo's are just taped on and not like the 2nd gen xb's. can't wait to get mine to take it right off and put something else.

 

I know it's been a while... But here's how the badges look.

 

 

Those wheels look surprisingly good on the xD. So do the repainted emblems. What are those wheels again? Konig..?
