Should I remove "Solara" and/or add "VVT-i&qu

Postby RDKamikaze » Wed Apr 11, 2007 8:18 pm

Alright, here's the situation. I took off the Toyota and SE emblems on my car a few weeks ago (still need to get pics) and then ordered a VVT-i emblem to replace the SE. Upon furthur thought, I started debating whether to remove the Solara emblem or not.

Any thoughts? Should I put the VVT-i emblem on and decide from there? Should I just leave it the way it is w/out the emblem added/removed? If you have any pictures of the car w/out the Solara emblem, please post (preferable silver)!

That's right, I completely forgot about the holes. Well, that means I'm not going to remove the emblem unless I really like it. Are there any other Solaras with it removed other than milt's?

I removed everything except for the Toyota sign.,

And I blocked the holes with black vinyl.

There are some besides Posh's on here that have them removed but they have decals or other emblems over the holes.

The TRD is pretty original, I like it! Does anyone know how close the holes are to each other? Are we talking like 3 inches or more like 5 or 6 inches? I might cover them with an emblem too, if I remove the Solara.

On a side note, does anyone know how to get rid of the two holes on my front bumper (from the front state plate)?

I already took the poll, but I give you my reasoning. In my opinion, putting a VVT-i emblem on the car just reminds me of those Civics with the V-Tec stickers.

^^^ Wow, I never really thought of it that way. Well, since I have it now anyways, I'll put it on and see what it looks like. If I don't like it, it's coming right back off. No harm done, right?
