Poll: Newer Badge on an MK2? - Page 2

NIXmx · 01-14-2007, 10:03 PM

When I bought a few things from Twos R Us I bought the mk1 vinyl (1.5") so see if it would look good on mine, test only. When I saw it on my car it looked like the bird logo was too bulky and geometric, unlike the mk2. I'm going to order the yellow mk3 emblem and see how it looks being color coordinated.

This is off topic.. What do you think about the rear? Debadging? All, some, or none? With my 2000 Camry I debadged 'Toyota' and 'Camry' and left the 'T' logo, it looked great. What is your opinion about the MR2s?

Well If I'm able to buy my car back from Ncturnal, I'm hoping to have the 94 tails with no MR2 badge in the back, I'm thinking everything except the turbo badge gets removed. But most likely I'll remove that too. I was wondering what the same badge this post is about would look like on the taillight centerpeice. If you do any mock ups, take pics for me, that'd be awesome.

I just saw a pic of this badge on an MR2, and I had no clue how big it is... I may be changing my mind.

mista2turbo · 01-15-2007, 11:52 AM

the MKIII badge wouldnt fit right on the 94+ centerpiece. The MKIII badge has a slight curve to it to match the curve of the hoods.
I've seen someone with one of these on their fender and thought it looked like ass. I like the look of it on the MKII nose though. I bought one a few years ago to put on the nose of my old MKII. Maybe I'll dig it out to put on the new one sometime.

Could you give us the dimensions of it?

thats a good idea, Id rather mod the badge than my front bumper

Or even after seeing the engine is in the back they ask its fwd tho right?

goose2580 · 02-08-2007, 07:25 AM

exactly

MuMan · 02-27-2007, 11:26 PM

I really hate the Toyota 'hat' on MR2's, it belongs on Camry's..
I originally fitted the stock blue one on my car, which is red/black/cf and it just didn't do it. So I took it off and fitted one of those black ones..looks much better.
They're good quality, not painted...go ahead and do it, you can always take it off.

You know what would look SICK?!?!?!?

Now THAT would be THE emblem to put on the MR2. No doubt.

why? ferrari has some goofy pony on it, lambo has some fat bull. porsche has a deer looking weird thing. animals and sportscars go hand in hand

i dont like the mk3 badge, but i do like the mk1 badge.

Yes, and they all look silly and a little childish, your descriptions say it all. Just because the big boys run that sort of crap on exotic cars doesn't mean ours should. It's not quite the emulated wood-on-the-side look of your standard 80s station wagon but I don't think those animals belong on a car.

I think we're pretty lucky to get the MKII as it shipped - no nothing (except for that dough boy showing a touchdown, of course)
