I never seen a Toyota emblem like this before. Has Toyota ever made an emblem similar to this? It actually looks pretty cool.

Somebody doesn't know the difference between a dragon and a pegasus -- or else those are the horsiest-looking dragon silhouettes I've ever seen.

a good rule to follow on ebay, especially pertaining to "TRD" and Celica stuff:
"If it's cheap, it's not real." probably true 95% of the time. -------------------- *1997 Celica ST - 3SGE Greytop BEAMS *1977 Celica RA29 - Classic Cruiser *2005 Matrix AWD - dedded but still hanging around like a ghost 2019 Rav4 XLE Premium - Sports mode is fun. |

But does anyone have any idea of other Toyota related emblems that I can add onto my grill? I currently have the ssiii one on but I don't really want it because I don't like having stuff on my car that I don't really have. My Celica is a GT trim not a SSiii trim. It's a pet peeve. -------------------- |

blue dragon symbol! i have one on mineee I was actually looking into that but it's a "stick on" emblem. I want it on my OEM grille. Like how the ssiii emblem is. Where it has something to secure it to the grill instead of just the adhesive. -------------------- |

[/quote] Find one of those. [/quote] That's what I'm looking for but can't seem to find any. I'm pretty sure the only way I'ma get it done is to just buy the emblem and add on some way to secure it to the grill but I don't have any ideas besides drilling holes and using ZipTies. -------------------- |

Found some.
If you want two: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-TOYOTA-CELICA-...f3f&vxp=mtr If want just one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CELICA-OLD-SCHOOL-...tr#ht_767wt_138 They have two pegs on the back of them for inserting into a grill, like the picture I posted earlier. Rather or not the pegs will work with your grille, who knows. Here's the best deal I've found: http://www.ebay.com/itm/71-72-TOYOTA-CELIC...d35&vxp=mtr This post has been edited by Box: Aug 6, 2012 - 9:03 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

It's there so you can shave off to level it with the surface. There's no way to get it to attatch to my OEM grill. Only way is ziptieng. But that'll mean drilling holes into the dragon. The pegs are way too small to drill holes for zipties. -------------------- |

Epoxy on the pegs to hold against the back side of the grill.

Epoxy on the pegs to hold against the back side of the grill. Yea that's what I was told to but I don't want to put anything permanent on it because I'm trying my best to keep my car as OEM as possible with as lil mods as possible. If you get what I mean? Like I don't mind having something to hold it securely but I don't want to use any kind of adhesive or glue. -------------------- |

Sure something could be figured out without glue or epoxy. Like some kind of tight fitting rubber stopper to hold it in place.

Or use epoxy on the back of the emblem to create loops or hooks, then use a zip tie to hold the emblem to the grill.
My original suggestion was to use the epoxy so that it attached at the back side of the grill. Then if you wanted to take the emblem off, you could cut/sand the epoxy off and whatever was left would be concealed behind the grill |
