Black Hybrid Toyota Emblem

Do u know how sensitive the radar is? How big of a film or whatever u can put over it? I havent thought it out that well lol, but if i buy a 4th gen i would wanna do some like that to.

 

The radar works fine with a layer just thick enough to hide the emblem. Since PlastiDip is similar to thin saran wrap in terms of removing it from the car, there's really no risk if you have to do it over a few times because you made it too thick except for loss of time. The cans are like $6 and you could go redo the emblem 100x with as much is in a can. Once you get done applying it, turn the car on and see if it throws radar errors. If it does peel it off and do it again a bit thinner.

 

thanks, sounds easy enough, wouldve been fun to buy a 4th gen and put Lexus emblems on it as i have done to my 3rd gen just to mindf-ck lol, i mean, just make a realllyyyy thin sticker perfect size to stick over the toyota logo in the front. And buy a metal emblem to the rear.
I just like the Lexus emblem more then the toyota emblem really, its just cleaner. So thats why i changed to the lexus emblem on my current 3rd gen.




Im wondering how it would look like ona 4th gen?
Mhmmm.. Just photoedited it, and i kinda like it.


Think i gotta make a Lexus Prius Prime to now lol, see how it looks

 

should put a Ferrari emblem on it... let's face it, almost no one can recognize a prime anyway.

 

I dont understand why everyone think the reason we put other emblems on the cars or smoke the emblems is to "hide" the fact its a prius, its obvious its a prius... it has nothing with "hiding" the type of car to do. I personally like the lexus emblem more since its cleaner, thats why i put lexus emblems on mine. Scion and that other emblem that looks like the scion emblem also looks so much cleaner then the toyota emblem. And smoking the emblem has nothing to do with "hiding" what it is either... Its personal taste, which is why people put lexus and scion emblems or smoke them,
anyways, toyota owns lexus and scion anyways so whats the difference? Nothing, it just makes the car look cleaner.

 

Alot of times the dealer has stickons that fit right over the emblem. Its a cheap look but better than waiting a month for China or Thai garbage.

 

Idea: Would a radar-emblem from a non-hybrid Toyota model fit? Even if it's $300+? It seems the Rav4 and Camry use the same exact one. If I get a Prime, i'll cross-reference the part numbers. I don't like the addition of the blue to the emblem.

Perhaps a used non-hybrid radar-emblem from a wrecked car might be the way to go.

 

Just for FUN !! An Alfa Prime.

 

There should be Lexus cars with DRCC. Just use one of those emblems.

 

Did a bit of sleuthing today, this is the part number for the normal pre-crash radar badge without any blue in it. For those interested...

5314142020 - Black Toyota radar badge



The stock Prius Prime badge (and other Toyota hybrids):

5314147030 - Blue Toyota radar badge

 

Can you find a Lexus radar one though?

 

I believe the black Lexus radar emblem is:

5314148100

This is for the 2015+ ES and RX models.

The blue hybrid Lexus radar emblem is:

5314148110

I can't guarantee compatibility, but if someone is willing to risk it....!

 

Thanks. @MagnusAG99 , here are the Lexus emblems for radar.

 

Wouldve been fun to try if i get a 4th gen lol, and i cant imagine that toyota made a own connector and shit for the Lexus radar when they already had the toyota one. Would seem like a serious waste of money..

 

Yup!

Every one appears to be high 300s, or low 400s. Used on eBay would be your best bet.

 

Guys, i need help. i have a 2017 prime advanced with pre-crash. i busted the grill (not bad but busted)
i havent thrown any codes or CEL(s). here is where I need help
1 does the 17 advanced have any electronics in the emblem> if not why is the list like $450?
close pictures of the back kook like a connector plug at the top rear of the emblem (yes blue emblem)
2. If i change the grill do i need a re-calibration of the radar and sensors after replacement
2a. do any sensors attach directly to the grille?
3 i get mixed answers, does the grill get paint? i dont think so
4. does the "filler" above the emblem come primed or painted. I think primed.
5 anybody have a "how to" to remove/replace the grille, sensors , radar etc.
6. if no codes can i assume all the electronics are good? All still functions correctly speed, distance,lane depart etc

Thanks in advance. i get prices from 600 -2000 for this repair. (600 no emblem, just grille) i can get the parts for
about 650 grille & emblem. i'v restored my 94 del sol so i can tear it apart if i have instructions. too bad no service manual for the prius

 

https://techinfo.toyota.com has the service documentation available.

 

thanks
which manual would you suggest for grille replacement ? collision repair or standard repair?
