    Well I know this is so minor and stupid but I like debadging things... Never knew the hate for the Prius until I saw all those stickers, etc... so figured hey just take the Prius badge off the back...
    well I did so today and it came right off.. so I then put it back on as there are 2 holes..... GRRRR WHY TOYOTA!!!!! would have been a no brainer if no holes.

    so anyone remove theirs? what did you do with the holes? figure I may just stick another sticker over it..

    maybe TwinTurbo hahahahahaaaaaa

    someone here sealed the holes with silicone. I did the same and painted the dried silicone with the Blizzard Pearl touch up paint pens. I need to re-do it because it doesn't look as good as I thought it would. I like the badgeless look but its not as perfect as paying a body shop to fill the holes/weld them and repaint the entire car. Do what you can afford I guess.

    here's mine. if you get up close it doesn't look that great. But from far away you cant tell

    Here is the thread I was talking about. There are more.

    I don't know what the diff is between 10 and 14' but I doubt much in this context.

    I got my Prius and one of my first goals was to debadge. I didn't research and low and behold there are holes I need to cover! I quickly went online and got the blue TRD badge from eBay and the blue "knife" badges on Amazon. $25 and a 15 minute install problem solved.

    Although my goal was to NOT have badges, the effort to cover and paint the holes properly was a bit much for me. So I opted for a subtle rebadging. Blue TRD emblems because blue is somewhat associated with hybrid cars in their logos.

    What are your thoughts? FullSizeRender.jpeg IMG_2549.JPG IMG_2539.JPG IMG_2550.JPG
