I have a 97 celica gt convertible limited edition black and my dads friend backed up into the front of my car causing it to spider the paint and the fender to dent so when i went to go get it fixed the guys couldn't find the black emblem that I used to have on my car anywhere. They could only find a silver plastic one that comes on most celicas. It almost isn't like a emblem it's a sticker but a really heavy duty sticker. I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could find another one like that because it went with my car so well.

The material is black reflective, only 96 aniv and 97 limiteds had them. I have searched all over but
have never found any. The one on my gt4 bumper I removed from my stock bumper with fishing line
and double back taped it on, unfortunatly you can kind of see the tape sticking out in spots. I need to look for some
material reflective black about .05 in thick with an adhesive back, I could probably make something pretty close, but
tooling to cut it would kind of be hard I would probably have to hold it with a special made fixture.

Edit: the front and rear emblems are also different. These are some custom ones I made out of alluminum
for a guy a few years back. I could do the same but without the cow horns, if I could find the material like the
stock ones are made of.





Second edit: I found some 1/16 in thick black reflective adhesive backed stuff used for house numbers online.
I might try to get a sample and find out about getting some raw material if it looks close to the same. smile.gif
