Front Toyota Emlem Removal

[Darkside]

anyone know the easiest way to remove the front toyota symbol from the TRD front bumper?

[TRD2000GTS]

i dont have the trd bumper but from what i can tell i would prolly just use a hairdryer to heat it up and use fishing line to remove it

[Darkside]

no it's not like the rear where it's glued on

it's connected to the grill by little metal posts, there is no glue involved

take off the bumper its on there with 2 nut type connectors, it comes off easily.

damn i was hoping there was a way to do it w/o removing the bumper

I've been considering removing mine too (emblem), but I just thought maybe it would look good painted black, or is this a bad idea?

well, it's is kinda a bad idea, if you worry about rock chips and stuff like that...OR...if your squeezing and have your purge valve close to the emblem. I painted mine with high temp metal paint (the emblem may look like plastic, but it's not, it's like a cheap pot metal). Anyway, I was squeezing and the extreme cold ended up freezing and chipping the paint off the emblem.

BTW, you can just break those rivets and use 3M emblem adhesive. It's not goin anywhere.

yes there is, but there's no turning back once you do it. Break it off, like I did. No damage to the grill, only the emblem. :gap: It's only plastic.

And painting it black was what I was thinking initially, but I didn't feel like touching it up every couple of months, due to road debris.

i used to have an SHO, its a shame that engine wasnt more widely used, that thing was powerful for its time!!!

i would get it painted a nice gloss gunmetal, that would look nice. or replace it with one of the dark labels toyota uses on some cars
