Do like the de-badge look. Just not sure I could commit to it. Half tempted to get a second rear bumper, de badge that and swap the over, knowing I could go back if it turned out a step too far.

Mine was already debadged and have to say I like it so have never put them back on.

A second rear bumper would take up almost as much garage space as a hard top!

Just prefer the JDM badges both the yellow and silver had all toyota badges removed.

How about this one for the yellow beastie?

I've got some V6 badges here somewhere too that @stewart@boro kindly gave me but I do like it to look reasonably standard.
I'm in 2 minds.

Quote from: mr9 on February 12, 2021, 16:40Generally I like debadging the model and engine badges but leaving the logo, because it feels like taking of the brand badge is just trying going out your way to hide what you are driving

Agreed.
It looks nice and clean but... I think it cool that it is ´just a Toyota.´

Ardent · February 13, 2021, 15:55

Been looking again. And thinking. Removing any 2 leaving the third.
That said. Out of those options, just toyota or just roadster, would look better than just mr2.

Quite the opposite when asked what it is most are amazed when you tell them it's a 17 year old Toyota

Which explains why I prefer proudly advertise it on the outside.

I removed all the badges many years ago now, but recently I added one back:

It's very safe and easy to debadge if you do it in two parts:

ONE: Hot water/ hair dryer and some dental floss.... soften the glue with the heat and then floss the WHOLE BADGE off before you pull it away, otherwise you'll pull chunks out the paint.... it is very easy and low risk if you just take your time.

Do NOT be tempted to try to warm it up and peel it away in one go as this is how you'll damage the paint.

TWO: use something that will break down and remove the glue and is safe on paint, I'm pretty sure something like Sticky Stuff Remover would do it, but safer to stick to the one designed for cars: Autoglym Tar Remover does a great job. Just wipe the glue, wait 2 mins, see what peels off, then repeat.

There will be a residual "shadow" of the old label, but something like T-Cut or a decent polish sorts it out pretty quickly.

Quote from: Bossworld on December 26, 2020, 16:03I think it looks nice with just MR2

Adboslutely! I completely de-badged my old one and it just made it look a bit too aftermarket... I was considering a screaming chicken "M" or something like that.... but hadn't ordered aything yet, so as a first step I just took off the Roadster + Toyota.... and left the "MR2" and I am quite fond of it now.

I say try, this has already been done.

LOL @ "HONDA".... definitely need a K20 for that one.... although I's still suggest "TOYONDA"

Easy de badge, lots of hot water n take your time gently pulling off bit by bit but take it steady. Easy job. You can cut them off with fishy ng line or similar but not necessary at all. More hot water to remove foam and gum and the rest will come off with some paste, on a sponge pad on the drill but by hand is ok. My only regret is that some twat underscored the MR2 badge so a line is visible and will never polish out. But hey ho. Bigger things in life.
