Whats under the PRIUS emblem!?!? I found out!

That's too bad.

It would be nothing I personally would consider doing, so I never paid that close attention, but I think there have been some threads on debadging a Prius.

Hindsight is 20/20 but they might of helped you avoid some angst.

You might try looking them up even now. Might be some advice as to what to do once the emblem is removed.

 

You should have searched before doing this. I think most people know there are holes under the emblems.

So what you gonna do next to fix this?

 

you really shouldntve needed to break the emblem if you were removing it properly even with it planted in holes. just takes some patience and wiggling around.

the holes can be filled with putty, even light scratches can be removed, but a new emblem will cost a lil money.

Yup, your free project probably just turned into a $50 project. Good luck though.

 

Thanks for the info I was not aware of the holes. My suggestion, see the idea through. Get a few quotes to fill and shoot the filler. Most good shops could even buff or color sand out the minor scratches.

 

Sometimes they're glued on. I took the AWD sticker off my Subaru (because it already had 3 other stickers to that effect elsewhere on the car), but it came off without a real risk to scratch or break anything in the process, so I figured it was reversible if necessary.

I also take off the dealer stickers ASAP while the paint underneath is the same color & weathering as that around it. I keep the dealer plate holder, but their stickers are just too much.

 

I hate the dealer stickers. Luckily my Prius didn't have any.

 

To be specific, some people know that those particular emblems, on your particular model, have holes. It varies by model year, and emblem location.

A summary would be nice. *hint hint*

 

No holes on the Gen2... except behind the two bit Circle T's. Nothing behind any of the others. Come off clean and nice. Want to trade cars?
