Anyone see any orange 45th anniversary Supras on the road?

Funny, I’m about to replace all three badges with the first batch of Mikan Blast badges from American Panda Design.

Pics? I'd recommend that you save the originals.

Oh I’ll definitely post when they’re done.

Finally, the proper Toyota letters have been installed by Toyota's collision center. Love that Mikan glow!

Could be just me but I think this looks light-years better than the red mate. Nicely done.

Agreed! The only downsides about the change was that my car had to be taken by a dealership employee to the Collision Center that is a few miles away. My total time waiting was about 5 hours. I did point out to the service advisor that the front Toyota emblem has some cracks around its periphery. So the same process will be repeated when the dealership gets in a new badge.

This time, I will have their shuttle service take me to a large mall which will certainly be more entertaining than hanging out at the dealership.

Still looking for the Orange Supra but still haven`t seen one yet. Yet again I don`t see many Supra`s in the wild anyway.

5 hours? lmao.

Why not just replace them yourself? It takes like 20 minutes tops. The Toyota badges are pretty idiot proof, they have locator pins. They also cost like $35.

5 hours of my time is def worth wayyyyyyy more than $35.

I know for certain that there is one identical to my Mikan Blast, 40 minutes north of me. I have been driving around here almost every day and have yet to see one. Of course, I like that rarity.

If I had the ready-made template/positioning tool, I may have. Otherwise, I'd have to design and 3D-print one (if I had a 3D printer).

By the way, the dealership had a GR Corolla on the lot. Its sticker included a $7500 ADM.

I said the Toyota emblems.

Yes, a positioning template similar to what the factory uses would be helpful. My experience with "eyeballing" correct position without practice has been less than professional. I recall the first time I laid ceramic tiles.........not so good!

I stated they have positioning pins so they are idiot proof.

Are you sure about that? If so, then it would be a heckofa lot easier, depending upon the adhesive aggressiveness.

Could’ve just used some painters tape to border and position the emblem.

True. That is one way.
