Debadging?

I like the look of a clean car does anyone else plan on debadging their GR Corolla? I plan to remove at least the Corolla off the rear and probably the GR badges on the rear and sides. I was behind a Porsche earlier this week and it was badged Line 1 "Porsche" Line 2 "911 Carrera GTS" which I thought was gaudy. A more tasteful badging would have simply been 'GTS'.

I was considering it. I'd likely leave the side badging on. Maybe just remove the "GR" badge to troll a lil bit, LOL

I was thinking removing “Corolla” but keeping all GR badges. I don’t mind subtle badges here and there if they are special or meaningful like “GR”

Not "badge" related, but what are options on current model non grc for rear wiper delete? Nothing avail local New Zealand, wanna look at this for GRC, not sure what spec level we getting
I had them debadge the GR Corolla from the hatch. I'll post better pictures after I pick up the car today from the shop.

I had my detail shop remove the side and rear emblems before they did ppf and ceramic coat, but the rear just looked bare without any emblems, so I replaced the GR emblem, although several inches further right than its original location. Taped it in place in various locations, finally kind of lined it up with the edge of the tail light.

Do it lol
I don't mind the GR badges, but as an older Toyota owner I've never liked the squishy elipsoid "T". Hub centers are easy to cover with lots of 56mm emblems available, but the front and rear emblems need to go, and the front solution has to be radar transparent.

Here is my debadge/rebadge. I wanted the chrome Toyota badge hidden so I pulled the logo and wrapped it with some satin 3M wrap. I then relocated the GR logo.

Thats unique, do you have a picture from further back?

I’ve de-badged a couple things before, but never reattached an emblem. I love what you did there though! It makes the back look much cleaner.

What did you use to attach the GR back? I was thinking double sided 3m tape, but I’ve read there is special adhesive for emblems as well? If I do that I’d definitely want it stuck good as I’d hate to lose the GR logo haha.

Any info would be appreciated.

I’m out of town, but I think this is what I used. Two 1/2” strips. Autozone has it, probably other places too.

Perfect! Going to knock this out over the weekend. I’ve been away from my car for a couple days due to work as well. Driving my truck for two days really makes me miss the GR.

Love the idea of wrapping that, how hard was it to take that piece off the car? I'd love to troll with a Subaru oval or Ford oval logo wrap, but I'm not skilled enough to make one myself.
