    Hey guys, I finally got around to debadging my Prius C. I ordered this on E-Bay for $10:

    Aqua Chrome Badge Logo Emblem Suit for Toyota Prius C Priusc | eBay

    Here's how it turned out:

    All I did was clean area thoroughly, dry, use hot air dryer on the old badge, use dental floss to pry it up, then removed the adhesive with a credit card, rag, and goo-be-gone. After that, I cleaned the area and applied the new Aqua badge, which comes with 3M adhesive tape pre-applied to it. Took about 45 mins.

    The JDM equivalent of the USDM Prius v is the Alpha. Some members here have Alpha badged their v.

    I did it because

    A). Aqua sounds cooler and is less/un known
    B.) Avoid the "Prius stigma"
    C.) my color, Summer Rain, is aka Aqua :D

    D.) Less likely to get tailgated if the person behind you doesn't realize you're driving a Prius.
