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.

[Akirad1]

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

[Spider77]

Deal, hey, I can pick up on monday (as I should have it off). if thats a good day for you let me know. Its also payday.

pmed

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.

[Akirad1]

yeah i was thinking that but then i dunno i kinda only wanted one but like i said it was more cost effective two buy two since one cost like 2or3 dollars cheeper i dunno ill prolly mount it when i get my trd seat belt pads in and when it stops raining

wow the adhesive rips off the paint? that i didnt know

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]

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]

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.

well i finnaly got it one it looks a little bit off becuase its on the curve but it looks better in person

[Spider77]

Yeah, that curve is a bit hard to work with...was a PITA when I put on my new toyota badge.

[Akirad1]

what does pita mean lol

[Spider77]

pain in the a**, clever but not as good as the ID-I0-T form.

[Akirad1]

lol yeah

[GotToyota]

Did you already get rid of the extra? I've been wanting to get one of these.

[Akirad1]

yeah sorry matt got it sold to spider77 but if he falls through youll be the first to know.
(not saying he will seems very contemp on buying it)

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.
