1 - They need to pay me to advertise their cars. 2. Looks nicer with the clean look and it only took couple of minutes.

Ok, besides all of the dealer advertisement/bading on the car, and the car looking cleaner with no "model" badges on it, why should they pay you to advertise the model of the car? You bought it, but they designed and built it, you ARE driving around someone else's finished product. No offense to anyone that thinks that way, but it just doesn't make sense. Taking the dealer crap off for the sole reason they aren't paying you is totally different. Oh well, makes no difference to me, just thought I'd put my .02 in. I'll probably debadge my tC logo too, but only because it looks cleaner.

I think i would rather keep the emblems on the car, but I am thinking of taking them off and having them painted like a crimson or something of that color.. since the car will be BSP with dark tinted windows I think it will look sweet..

I don't see why the tC emblum shouldn't be removed. The darn thing falls off with just your hand grabbing it anyway, I say take it off and have more paint to show off. :D

High temp caliper paint. Normally found at any autoparts store. Follow the instructions on the can.

That was the first thing I did to mine. Took 5 minutes...not much trouble at all. No evidence of having had badges or having removed them myself either.

are you talking about the "tC" emblem or the "scion" emblem? well, i took off my tc emblem and put it in the interior of my car. just above the glove box handle. IMO it looks better off the back of the car and in the interior.

The TC emblem is just as easy to remove as the dealer emblem. And if you are worried about messing something up, your dealer will do it for you.

Mine looks 100 times better with it off!

sorry guys b/c i know i'm in a minority saying this but...

no rear badges on the tC and all i see is an older 90s honda for some reason i have no clue why, it looks unfinished in my honest opinion. or maybe not unfinished but like, homeade aftermarket looking

i'm looking for an extra tC badge to put in a debadged grill i'm about to buy i want the tC in the bottom right. and i may buy an extra one for somewhere interior. i know badging a car extra sounds awful to a lot of you but i kinda like owning a scion, though the front scion emblem i dont care for.
