Can the Front Scion emblem be removed off the grill? Or is it a permanent attachment? Thanks.

I think it's attached onto the grill. If you did remove it, I'd think it will be ugly. Just remove the whole thing and go for a mesh, or billet, etc.

 

[SHAGGY]

Yeah I think it would look better all mesh with no emblem.

Yes it is attached to the grill. Also from what i can tell, the grill is attached to the front bumper mask. Would be lots of cuting to replace.

 

[SHAGGY]

Thank you for looking into that.

I checked out the front grill today. Looks to be held on by four screws only. If a company would make a front grill that looks stock without the embelm that would look nice.

give it time... I'm sure it's in the works somewhere

umm the grill is only held in by tabs in the bumper at least.....i took the emblem off n painted it now its a all black grill hehe....basically if u mess up just find another tC and punch the grill out it should slide out....just for your info dont do it cuz ur messed up if u do but PM or IM me if u want pics

I could not find paint that would stay on the Scion emblem - a week later it would start chipping/peeling. So I had to strip the paint - back to stock...

unless you used a self etching primer.... the paint WILL chip since the primer basically has nothing to hold onto.

krylon fusion spray paint bonds to quite a few materials without the need of a primer.

i painted a laptop 2 different colors with it. no chips, no problems.

Anyone have pics of what the front looks like with the emblem painted black?
Thanks!

I plan to paint mine. I'm going to try to get as close to 'gunmetal' as possible. Might take a coat of silver with a very light coat of a dark grey to pull it off. Should be fun to play with.

I'd love to see some pics posted of painted emblems...

There is a gunmetal wheel paint that works great for things like this. Its a really nice gunmetal color and not too expensive. I did my valve cover and a few other things with it in my old car. Look for that if you want an easier gunmetal.
