Black Toyota Emblem [pics] - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Removes easy.

Little heat, and grab an edge with fishing line, and carefully and slowly start to work your way around the emblem.

There are no nuts holding it from the back side, just two pins to keep it positioned correctly on the hatch.

Good luck.

how do you "re-glue" it back onto the trunk?

*Chris07LB* · 02-25-2007, 06:22 PM

3M body tape. Its the thinnest strongest double sided body tape around. Used for holding body kits and spoilers on.

yrsdrgn · 02-25-2007, 06:31 PM

i'm assuming you can cut it to the desired shape then tape it onto the back of the emblem?

*Chris07LB* · 02-25-2007, 06:40 PM

Stick it on....................... cut it to the shape using a new razor................ pull off backing................... correctly alight.............. stick, and your done.

Thanks Chris. I'm looking into painting my Netz badge and rear toyota badge metallic blue to match the blue/black theme of the car even though car shell is white interior and rims will be blue and black.

I'm strongly considering doing this to mine. I just bought one in Meteorite Metallic. If I do it we should do a step by step on mine for everyone. I live in Jersey too.

You beat me to it! I too was considering this but wasnt sure of the look. I like that a lot. I might try this when I shave the other badges off.

Nimble · 02-25-2007, 07:32 PM

You know I ended up popping off the entire front badge with a bit of force, and once I got it off, I finagled the chrome part off and actually just put the dull, black plastic part back on and it matches pretty good on my black car.

Tonight was project night so I also removed the entire rear wiper assembly and plugged the hole, and removed the rear badge and sanded it to get ready to paint it black this week.

Ill be giving my flat black rear emblem away soon.... something in the works.

*Chris07LB* · 02-25-2007, 07:40 PM

Already had you in mind.

jdubau55 · 02-26-2007, 05:48 PM

Question for something I also have in mind....does the stock rear badge have a slight curve in it or is it pretty much flat??? I'm hoping its flat as Calista Flockhart.
