What's wrong with having the T, Toyota, Solara emblems?

Notin wrong, but it's too crowded imo.
It's more over a personal taste. :D

I would agree, probably it's the best to shave all emblems and leave the Solara intact. It's kind of Boxter Style. :wink:

I have not found a cheap black pearl Solara emblem so it's empty for now.
Anyone sellin?

The only emblems left on my car is the Toyota symbol on the grill and the Solara badge on the trunk ........... but it's gonna disappear too. No one can tell what it is now ......... then they'll be really screwed! :crazyeyes:

I completely pulled out the factory grill and replaced it with 1/16" T316 Stainless Steel mesh that I hand bent to fit into the factory locations. I painted the emblem the brightest red that I could find and remounted it. If you are a member of imagestaion there are some pics there.
