how difficult is it to remove the front scion badge on the grill? how does the bB badge attach to it? thanks for the info.

 

it has 3 clips that you squeeze on the back, takes maybe 3 seconds

 

pretty much snaps off from behind grille. Leaves a small void that can easliy covered with a personalized badge made of metal , plastic or just about anything.

 

Toyota (scion) should sell a filler for that... you know prepainted to match that clips in and makes the grill full.. for the "Clean" look.. First thing I went to do was pop mine off and it had a fugly square hole behind it.. I was lookin at the back and does the Scion logo out back come off just like the xB logo? with the Minty dental floss and soem goo gone? :twisted:

 

Yup, waxed floss and googone. I was concerned that maybe there was a small hole holding the rear Scion emblem like from other Toyota's. But it seems it's just a stick on. I think the xA "S" emblem has an indentation, can't confirm.

I never even needed the googone. I just blowdryed it a lil here and there to warm it up and sawed away with the dental floss. After that, i rolled off the glue with my fingers and a little patience.

 

3 seconds... damn your good took me about a good minute :oops:

 

i was curious about this a few days ago so i took it off and sadly there is that ugly square.... i couldn't seem to get it off while the grill was mounted on the vehicle. so if you're curious how the entire front grill mounts:

there's two 8mm(i think) bolts on the bottom, one on either side of the hood release
then there's 5 push thingies... get a screwdriver and pop 'em out

i want an aftermarket grille already, one that looks like the factory one but without the square cutout for the emblem. i don't really dig the billet, cuz i'm not goin for the bling bling look. i might as well get the bB emblems instead, it'll be cheaper anyway. too bad carson is out of them, i almost drove down there to pick some up but called instead.

 

hehe consider it confirmed, i said it and ill back it up, hehe I removed my xA symbol but with the scion logo in the back theres an oval indentation so I don't want to remove it because it might just look kinda goofy

 

Sucks that they're still out of them - I tried a few weeks ago when I was gettin my oil change - someone mentioned trying Cabe Scion in Long Beach I think - I never got around to calling - maybe we can get hooked up there (i want that front emblem too.)

 

actually, the grill attaches with 3 black push clips, just pop them up with a screwdriver and lift the grill off.

 

i wonder if they changed that, or if i just took the screws out, but when i looked at mine, i took off two screws

 

does anyone have a picture of one without the front emblem with the stock grill

 

damn, this is bad news. has anyone painted/markered their front emblem on a black xB? I'd like to see how it looks.

 

If you look in this theard there is a white one with no emblem on it...it towards the bottom...

That looks clean. I think I may give it a whirl. Any idea what kind of paint that is?
