How does the color match up with red? Trying to order a set in their next batch. Just wanted to check before ordering.The middle hole on the front is toward the bumper. OEM badges have a depression in the center, which doesn’t have any adhesive. Keep that in mind when removing them. I used thin nylon wire and a hair dryer to separate the adhesive, and a trim tool to pry out the pegs on the front (rear popped out easily). I used a piece of cardboard, with an oval cut out, to protect the paint on front and rear. I used a bit of the adhesive from one of the badges to roll away whatever adhesive stuck to the car (a trick I learned when I was a kid). It takes some time but it cleans up completely without chemicals. The black dots in the photos are bits of adhesive that I used to temporarily plug the holes.
~ the blue ones look rich.Mine came in today. They look amazing. Color matched perfectly.
I didn’t go with the custom badges mentioned in this thread. I very much dislike the Toyota logo. My wife once said it looks like Woody from Toy Story - I will never be able to unsee that. To me, that logo in any color or material is like lipstick on a pig.How does the color match up with red? Trying to order a set in their next batch. Just wanted to check before ordering.
I've seen the removed and bondo'd or whatever, and it looks awful. Something there is better than nothing, but nearly anything is better than the factory badges.I have to agree. I hate the Toyota logo badges and wish they could be removed and there would be no holes or indents in the body for a cleaner look.

that’s nice. Though, I prob Would have made the S Larger and cropped so it’s cut off. Actually thought about something similar a while back. Just couldn’t find anyone to make them.I didn’t go with the custom badges mentioned in this thread. I very much dislike the Toyota logo.

I had these custom aluminum badges made:
They were pricey and took about three months to get them. For anyone interested, go to
billetbadges.com, fill out the form on their site and attach these photos so they know what design you’re inquiring about.
~ I had some similar overlay decals produced that worked well to keep the cost down.That’s nice. Though, I prob would have made the S Larger and cropped so it’s cut off. Actually thought about something similar a while back. Just couldn’t find anyone to make them. Not cheap anyway.
Best I can measure, it’s 2mm to the top of the round knob in the center, which seems to be 0.5 mm in height. There’s also a less-than-half mm lip all around. The factory adhesive would cover that lip but leave the knob exposed since it has an oval cut-out in the center.Hi guys I have a question for those of you who have take the trunk badge off, I was wondering if someone could measure the depth of the curvature on the underside of the badge.
I've tried to illustrate what I'm after in the attached drawing

Exactly the right amount of badges (and chrome) for any car.
