taking off emblems/putting them back on, how to?.. how hard is it? Options

[Dacoolguychris]

taking off the stock toyota emblems (the toyota symbols.. on front and back of car) and putting them back on..
i know there are two pins..

I was just wondering how hard it would be to remove the toyota symbol and but it back on?... and what i should use to put it back on and keep it on

I want to take them off and then paint them black or a dark grey and put em back on

-Chris
I saw a black car that had powercoated(or somehow painted dark) emblems on it..
looks sweet because you don't have this chrome looking thing standing out on your car...Has anybody done this to their car?.. or maybe it just isnt worth all the trouble.. but anyways.. I think it sould look sweet

I had to replace the front one on my car after a wreck, so I can tell you about that. Stock, it came with two posts (one each side, left and right) and had a stick backing around the rest of the emblem. I simply peeled it off and stuck it on. I guess you could try to just pop it off, but you might risk breaking it. I would call your local Toyota dealer and see how much a new one costs. If its not too much, then get a new one in case you destroy the old one getting it off. If you can get the old one off with no problem, then paint it or whatever you want to do to it and you can glue it back on with some good CA or super glue. If you do this, I recomend going to a local hobby shop and getting some CA glue because that will hold for a long time. Hope this helps.
