the toyota emblem is big enough to be glued to the outside rim of the round cut out. So what needs to be done is .....some black "thick" or something that sticks out enough plastic to be glues to be black backing and then the toyota badge glue to it because the scion badge sits inside of that round rim

maybe try a thin bucket lid. cut out as many pieces as you need. sand down the edges to make them smooth. repaint them. and stick em all on.

or maybe an older model toyota has a smaller emblem?

Made the cut-out that fits the emblem. After I'll need to make the cut-out that fit the scion black backing and then glue the 2 cut-out together and there fore they will serve as an adaptor

I am sorely tempted to try one of these emblems, kinda pricey but... I enjoy confusing people.

...and putting the Hybrid logo where the "tC" emblem was, that may just be win.

I appreciate it, but I'm looking for other emblems that people will look at with a serious case of WTF... such as the Harrier, Rumion, IST, and the like.

I keep stalling myself on buying the Hybrid emblem. It just seems wrong, but so right.

I was just wondering as to how you removed the front emblem because ive been searching for a method and the only thing that came up is the tC1 removal
