Holes - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #54719 10 posts Started by thespacepanda
Ok, so i want to take off the stock toyota badge off my front bumper and replace it with a shiny dragon emblem (not a pokemon referrence). The problem is that the holes in the bumper for the emblem are vertically aligned and rather spaced out and the pegs for my emblem are horizontally aligned and fairly narrow. Has anyone done something like this or know how to get around this hole problem. Any ghetto rigs that work. Don't really wanna bondo and repaint the whole bumper just for one little hole.

"He won't come out of the bathroom. He keeps telling us we're dark somethings and not his friends.""Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn.""What?""Just do it."".......He said yes.""Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up."".......Sweet. Thanks.""No problem."
There was a thread on this a few pages back. The dragon emblem is too small to fit the toyota spot. Someone had taken it and attached it to their grill.


If you really want it centered up, fill the holes redrill the new ones and have it spot sprayed.

Yeah, I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but looks like I'm repainting the bumper.

jb weld ftw biggrin.gif lol but if your doing it i woudl run down to your local auto store, walmart or even hardware store and pick up some fiberglass sheets and resin and just do it that way so the backs a bit stronger then u can bondo the 2 holes and redrill and paint just make sure u take your time unless ur having some one else doing it so your dragon isnt crooked
What color is your new little friend?
Oh!! Wal*Mart has a nifty little fiberglass kit for $10!

Ten Bucks!

I dont know about how much the rest would cost... But 10 bucks... You just cant beat that...

(yeah it's cheap off brand stuff; But what works: Works!!)
