Some input on this emblem, What do you guys think? Options

[HectortheRican]

I really want this type of emblem, but I'm not so sure of this condition this one is in. I'm mainly concerned about the metal, I'm fairly certain that I can polish the fogginess away from the center. Whaddaya think?

That's what inspired me to get the emblem. I only want the front though. With the back, I want to shave everything and put the old school cursive "Celica" on the left.

Yahoo Japan?

Used to? What happened? ha

here's one from a member on here. I forget who. (Sorry for stealing this pic.) I was thinking about doing this a while back but decided not to.

Whole emblem just made out of plastic no metal part

[HectortheRican]

So could I polish it, no problem? If so, what could I use? And what do you think about that weird dent on the top right?

I don't think u could replace that dent, even thou u mend it, u couldn't find chrome paint to make it look good
Find another one

Easier said than done. That's the only one I found after about an hour or two of looking.

I found it for 2 years, one locally in HK and one from states.
No pain no gain mate.

Words to live by. Oh well, I can wait. It'll be worth it, it looks REALLY great on your Celica.

it sure beats me why they got rid of those emblems, they look awsome and give the celica the individuality it deserves rather than just having some toyota emblem... lame

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA thanks! I woke up to that!

[celicaupto550hp]

you should be able to just fill the dent, give the badge a light sand and polish the center and then you should be able to get a chrome spray paint from and hardware store
