if you've never seen it how do you know it looks "sick"?

If you plan on doing that I hope you also plan on doing the one on the rear garnish as well..

I agree with Domo but if you're going to do it do it right.

Why not just go all out and get some Lexus badges and call it a day?

Thing is... yes, it is basically a Toyota underneath... but despite what your registration or insurance says, the Make is a Scion. There is no Toyota tC or Toyota anything based on the tC. To advertise it as such is just a sham.

Of course people have done it though. You'd basically just need to replace the grille emblem (or replace the whole grille with something else) and replace the hatch emblem. But then there are still the center caps on the wheels, the Scion logo on the steering wheel... etc etc.

All of that said, there are many threads on this already if you were to actually search. I just searched for "toyota emblems" in the Aero & Exterior forum and got these:

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=174983
https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=172725

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/scion-tc-1g-aero-exterior-1636/rear-toyota-emblem-96143/

If those don't give you an actual answer, I don't know what to tell you. But since there are so many other threads, I'm locking this one. Good luck.
