to shave or not to shave?

to shave or not to shave?

Postby dvdchris45 » Fri Oct 29, 2004 12:22 am

hey folks,

I was wondering if I could get your opinions on whether or not to remove the rest of the emblems on my car ( 'V6' or VVTI'). Even thought I was pretty excited when it came to replacing my 'SE' with the 'vvti' (to give it a different look if you will). I was wondering it if it be just better to leave it as is or shave it off, so that only the 'toyota cowboy' and 'solara' emblems are left.

HAHAHHA

All Shaved baby! The Artic Frost Project only has Toyota logo on trunk lid....no mo 'SOLARA' emblem or any other emblems. Nice and clean. Me happy :D

I had my ride debadged the last time I was in Chicago. I've had so many people walk around to the back of my car to see what it is, even after I had already told them that it was a Toyota Solara...they still walk around to the back of my car to look...wtf??? Hello??? It's like they don't believe me or somthing. I don't get it...I guess it's a combination of the vertical doors and the slickness of the Solara body styling...I just lol....hahaha.

Shave it Chris, take the solara off too...heehee. :wink:

If I had the grills as Frosted does I would shave it all off. If people don't believe it's a toyota place a Lexus Logo......it's the same size! :wink:

it's not really an antenna~ that thing is a special stuff which reduce the chances to get electronic shock... it works pretty good, i haven't get any electronic shock after i put that thing

i think that shock thing also helps reduce car sickness for people, ive seen a strip that people put under the car at the back looks like a flat hose black with orange on the sides.

My friends dad had 1 on his pontiac when we were kids so i had to ask what it was for
