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?

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.
