Thanks much for the DIY, most appreciated! :D

I didn't even know the front emblem was removable, thought I'd have to remove the entire grille. Intend to flat black both front & rear Scion emblems, same for the chrome grill trim, and I'm going to leave the tC badge off.

Did you do the rear emblems yet? When I did my emblems, I wanted a little shine. So I used Dupli-Color Semi Gloss Blk. Now you can start savin' $$$ for the Springs!

Thanks!! TRD spring shipped out yesterday from TRD Sparks :D

No Problem, glad I could help. I'm going to be doing the rear badge soon, and removing the tC as well. As for the front grille, it's something that I've been contemplating...post up some pics when you get it done, I'd appreciate it!

You're gonna

the Springs! Gives the tC a more aggressive stance. I've had mine for almost a month and still can't believe I waited almost 6 months to have them installed. Definitely post pix after install and don't forget about the SSM Cult!

Looks clean. If I were to change up the emblems, I'd just keep it flat black..looks real clean.

Since everyone seems to go with black & white (which does look very nice), I'd really like to see someone go all white (a total "white-out", lol), and I think you'd have the only one modded that way.

That's what I was thinking of doing (I had originally wanted a SW tC) and I think that it would look hot!! BTW guys I painted the chrome grille surround black as well...I'll get some pics up soon.

Even w/o the pics I know it looks better than those that leave it chrome, so that was a good decision on your part, imo.

Actually, your picture was what inspired me to do the silver in the middle...I painted it all black, then decided it was a bit too much black. I was on the forums and I saw your pic, and decided to run with it. Thanks!

I would like to see that inversed ;)

I think the rear tc badge has holes, as does the front one... correct me if i'm wrong. The front i think is less noticable because it's in the grill, but on the back you not only have the indentation but also a hole where it fits in. You need epoxy to fill it.. can be an expensive job at a shop, or cheap if u know a body work guy (or girl)

the front emblem as two allighment pins, as does the rear emblem

the tC logo however is just glued on and can be taken off very easy

on a side note, i just had these done: however mine are airbrushed. the emblem itself is painted a gloss black, and the scion lettering candy red. THEY LOOK AWESOME, i will post pics tomorrow or this weekend, i think they are like 10x better than these, prolly cuz i like black alot. haha

but he did a good job
