Take off the front emblem - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #34514 7 posts Started by urbandork
Im sanding and primering my front bumper soon and have all of the vent overs off and stuff all except for the toyota emblem on the front bumper.

Its held in by two metal rivet like things that are some how attached on to the two post of the toyota emblem. Are they glued on to the post or can you simply slip them off?

Ive tried prying at them to c if the metal rivet like clips come off the post on the toyota emblem but to no luck. Im a little scared of braking the post off the emblem because they are rather skinny?

Thanks a bunch in advanced

ver simple solution is to heat up the emblem with a heat gun or a hair dryer and use floss or fishing line to lift the emblem. That how i did it when i painted my emblems black.

The emblem on the front bumper is not like those on the rear. They are not glued on. They have two post sticking out of the back of the emblem and they are held into place by two metal rivet like things which i dont know how to get off.

Told you no one likes you. JK. You should try to sand down the rivets with your trusty dremel if you're so worried about it breaking.

yeah i had thought about using the trusty dremel and using silicone to replace the rivets. worse comes to worse ill just have to get a new one.

The one on the gt4 bumper is the same as the regular bumpers right?
Emblems are cheap on ebay If you break it.
