Yup.

I just reused what was on the back of mine. I took the emblem off with a very small, flat screw driver with masking tape on it.

 

2 questions for you...

1. Why post a thread about removing and re-applying an emblem?
2. Why do the blacked-out emblem when your 'getting rid of the car in a couple of months'?

I just kind of think its a waste to do the project if you're going to get rid of the car. (No offense.)

 

1. I wasnt sure how to re-apply it when the adhesive is melted
2. I like the way it looks
It was a 10 minute job. Im getting another tC but in stick so everything I've put into my car can be put on the new one (I have all the stock parts) the only things I cant carry over are the tints and the emblem.

 

Ohhhhh I see. My bad guys. I'll be sure to use that stuff next time

 

yea plus if u ever remove it. 3m will be alot better then superglue. no mark or scratches at all.

 

Is the tC emblem just held on by 3m tape? Or is it screwed on? And how do you get rid of the access tape left on the car?

 

i just heated it with a hair drier and used dental floss. just the adhesive tape, no screws

 

So if i take it off there will be no trace of anything left behind? It will be smooth as a baby's butt?

 

^ there will be some sticky adhesive residue which you can remove no problem.

 

How ? and is that it?

 

Use Goo Gone to remove the adhesive then use wax bring back the luster.
The "tC" emblem is just held on with the adhesive. The "Scion" emblem has alignment pins on it. So it won't be smooth.
Plus, there's an indention left behind when you remove the "Scion" emblem. That's the part that people have filled in to get a badge-less garnish.

 

Thanx...where is a good place to place the tC emblem?

 

yea goo gone work fine. i used that to removed alll the old 3m tape.

 

Which one would be better to use to rebadge the tC emblem?


or

 

the roll in the top picture i what i used, from home depot. but i'd take it back and get the 'exterior' version of that stuff, it will work much better in the heat/cold/rain etc.

 

what would you use to black it out the emblem ?
regular black spray paint ?

 

because im also trying to black out the stock grill with the emblem on it as well what would work best?

 

^^Same process as stated above and on the previous page.

 

with what though
spray paint ?

 

like this?



depends what kind of finish you're after. if you want ultra flat black like i did, look for the ultra-flat camoflauge paint in the auto store. if you don't mind a little gloss, you can use any spray paint meant for plastic, it'll say 'for plastics' on it (like krylon).

old pic but you can see it better here..



also good idea to do it with the grill off the car, sand the whole pieces down to and use a primer if you want it to last. i didn't use any clearcoat as i wanted it to be as flat-black as possible.
