yeah maybe it's just me since that may be the left over residue from the wax since I have no idea what the previous owner may have done to it.
but in any case,
DO IT! YOU WILL LOVE IT REGARDLESS

Just debadged :)

Very, VERY minor imprint left on the rear. Probably can't even show you with pictures. Other than that, looks like the car was made like this. Will post pics soon. Thanks for all the input!

No no. That's opening pandora's box. All exterior mods are a waste of money unless I drop the car. I don't wanna deal with driving a slammed whip, and I also shouldn't put too much money into this car.

I'll just settle for a nice system, clean lights, and whatever else I can do to make the ride feel bossier for me.

lol well its your car. but when i say "lower it" its a friendly suggestion that many people do and its not just to make the car look cool, there are other small gains. and i certainly didnt mean a "slammed whip", most people just go for the 1.5" drop that the eibach pro kit provides. but in any case, the car does look better debadged, so congrats on a successful and inexpensive mod.

I would love to remove the TOYOTA and Solara badges from my trunk, but I have a Diamond White Pearl and it has dark tan lines which makes me hesitant to remove them :-? . I don't know if buffing it will get rid of them. I'll take a pic tomorrow.
