Help with debadging

[griffin911]

I went to debadge my '07 today and had no trouble at all today with the rear badges...they came off fine.

However when I went to take off the hybrid badges on the front sides I found that there is a single hole underneath.

For those of you who have removed these what have you done? Have you just left the holes open? Have you covered it with something else?

why debadge it ???

I don't get why you want to take off the badges. I get the dealer stickers/badges but why the Hybrid?

Sorry I can't help you out though...

That's interesting - I "debadged" my '06 of all but the Toyota logo (centered, front and rear) and found no holes. Maybe Toyota doesn't want you to debadge it?

TurkeyButt/pingman - I can't speak for others, but I debadged mine because I think it looks so much better without them and it even makes it slightly easier to wash!

I dont have any opinions, but thanks for the heads up about the holes. I was still debating whether or not to remove the Hybrid ones on the sides. Guess I wont be!

I have verified that the front Toyota symbol on the 07 does in fact have a hole underneath. I reinstalled this badge as soon as I saw the hole earlier today. I did not end up checking the back Toyota emblem.

i removed the "toyota" and "prius" badges from the back but was debating whether I should remove the hybrid from the front sides. thanks for the heads up, I will keep them on. IMO it looks really good in the rear with only the "synergy drive" logo

“Fixing” dogs and cats, I understand; “Fixing” the Prii?

As I replied in email... it must be different on the 07. In 06, there were no holes under those badges on the side.

For those of you who ask why... I ask, "why not?" I don't like extra, usless crap on my car. So I take it off. Ends up looking slightly different, and quite a bit better than how it comes from the factory. YMMV.

I concur that the 06 does not have the holes under the side hybrid emblems.

IMHO I thought the side badges looked out of place and I like the look of the back without all the lettering. I left just the Toyota symbols Front and Rear.
