Yeah, mount one and sell the other to me....I got a small embossed one covering where the word celica used to be...took a hunk of paint and had to cover it up.

thats what i was gonna do i really didnt need two but it was more cost effective to buy two id let it go for like 10 buck and since your local you could pick it up lol

I've always been partial to installing those where the JDM sidemarkers go [Or where the limited symbols go if you prefer]. You'd need both to do that tho.

If you gently heat it first with a heatgun/hairdrier then it'll come off alot easier and leave the paint intact.

No, there is a bit more to it than that....Thing is I live in an apt complex (which really does make working on your car a pain) and draggin an extension cord like 200 feet from my apt isnt really going to work too well with the complex owners (although they really dont mind me doing a bit of the heavy stuff....) and I got a little carried away with one of my scrappers (this is after the emblem was off and I was going at the sticky foam stuff). But I figure for a car that was free and in need of paint anyhow, one more thing isnt going to kill it. But now its covered up and the TRD emblem that Akirad has are way better than the one I have. There are some paint questions that I have, but I'll wait till I have the time and money.

Akirad1

#11

true that but u can always go and by some paint that is the factory color and just spray that spot so it doesnt look to bad when it on there

Spider77

#12

Yeah, I am planning on doing something. There are some other spots on the roof and a big one on the trunk that look like they were painted over with one of those touch up paint pens (you'll see what im talking about mondayish). It looks pretty bad, probly gonna have to sand those spots down and prim/paint. But I want to get a scrap piece of black celica to try it out on first...before I do it for real.

Spider77

#14

Nice!!! I did the same thing too. I put mine on the right side though. I think you got yours from the same place i got mine came in the same package. I tried really hard to put mine on with out it looking un even. I even had to pull it off when it was pretty much on. I was happy the sticker came off good cause it didnt settle in yet.

I believe they're from Hong Kong, so I probably won't be getting them this week, but I might get it before the meet which would be nice.

I believe the weekend is better for the majority of the group. Would you be able to ask for a Saturday off or get off early?
