TRD Badge Location

Post by A Psycho Martyr »

Ok, so I'm trying to decide if I actually wanna use this thing or sell it.Unfortunately it doesn't work with my billet grille and there's little(if any) room to modify the badge, so it would mean modding the grille to fit it.So....Top Right GrilleBottom Right GrilleRear (above license plate)

Wow, its bigger than I imagined.. If anywhere, I like it on the lower grille, did you visualize it below the headlight, below your vibe logo just above the line where the bumper attaches?

Bottom right grille, without question. That is so slick. This is where I want to relocate a Vibe badge, badly. I just don't know how to anchor it to the grille in a clean, straight fashion. Welcoming any ideas. That spot reminds me of how Ford put the ST badge on the 2013 Focus in that spot: Brandon, in full disclosure, the hatch key location looks sweet, too. And have you given any thought to sheering off any hardware flush on the back and mounting the badge on the bottom right corner of your rear hatch? Just a thought.
Steelies to the rescue.

I didn't vote because I would only endorse a spot on the right lower rear hatch.

Well of I were to put it anywhere other than the grille, I would have to drill two 3/8" holes on.the body. If I decided to go that route, I would just get a sticky badge

On the back!The TRD badge and Vibe badge on the front are way too close to each other IMO

The only drawback to having it on the front is all the Bug SPLAT you're going to get during nice weather driving. On the rear it would stay clean forever My preference would be on the front ANYWHERE
