So I've loved the OLD Toyota "TEQ" logo since I first seen it but wasn't sure if it would fit with the celica.
When I seen a sticker verion of it on Jon's (808celica) car I liked it even more. But couldn't find any available for purchase and didn't want a sticker, though I considered it. Finally decided to create one, but kept putting it of, but seeing as I've had free time recently I'm going to try to make one. Found some triangular dowels, cut the to make the lettering and found a perfect sized ring.  Hopefully Monday-Wednesday I will be attempting to vacuum form and cast a resin/plastic mold of it.. I'm pretty excited to see how it comes together. And I'll post the results. Thanks for reading  Let me know what you think This post has been edited by smkr3w: Nov 10, 2012 - 4:14 PM --------------------  6gcHeroes:808hectortimmybatmandiegotigamak |

the oval shape of the rear emblem is what makes it visually fit better.
without the brake light and the trunk line so close to it, it wouldnt seem so large. Hence why it looks fine in the front This post has been edited by Tigawoods: Oct 16, 2012 - 12:20 PM --------------------  1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Hence why it looks fine in the front Yeah thats been a concern of mine. Sadly the plastic ones cant be made smaller. However since the aluminum ones are drawn with help of a computer they can be scaled down
