Default Help with debadging

Just thought about this earlier today. Because the holes create a problem, a possible solution would be to have those badges paint-matched to the car color.

Might be easier to buy new badges and have those paint-matched, remove the old ones, put on the new paint-matched ones.

I'm probably going to do this with my 08 Touring when I pick it up this Tuesday.

Hi, all,

I'm going to provide you wth pics of the side marker light I was speak'g of in my post #20 (one pg back). The link should take you to pg 12 of the "Let's See Some Pics" topic in the "Newbies" category. Scroll down to post #113 by madsock & click on the 1st, 3rd, & 4th thumbnails [do the 4th one first (the close-up of the light & Hybrid badge), & then go to the 1st & 3rd for a broader view of the light's location on the side of the car]. I think the holes behind the badges are really for the bulb socket/wiring for the non-USA models that have these lights. O.K. now, here comes the link. Newbies - Let's See Some Pics!

Perhaps it would be best for all the readers of this thread to summarize which badges are safe to remove on each year's model (i.e. no holes underneath). I'll start with what I know so far from mine...

2008 Standard
Toyota (Rear) - Clean
Prius (Rear) - Clean
Synergy Drive (Rear) - Clean
Emblem (Rear) - ???
Hybrid (Right fender) - At least one hole (anyone know how many?)
Hybrid (Left fender) - At least one hole (anyone know how many?)
Emblem (Front) - ???

I'd personally like to know if the emblem on the back of an '08 is safe to remove as I'd really like to do so...anyone know??

Emblems on the front and back have two holes each.

I'm all but positive that the holes are there for exactly that - in other markets.

As for what has holes where -

As far as I know: Up to 2006, there were no noles under anything but the front and rear T emblems. In 2007+ holes under the side hybrid emblems were added. Nothing else changed.

In the Federation market these are used to mount photon torpedo launchers.

Similar stuff was seen long, long, ago in galaxy far, far away Road Squadron - Ship Reference
