Debadge fans

Debadged the “dual motor” and covered the logo in vinyl. I’ve done this on most of my previous cars and much prefer the cleaner look. Anyone else done the same?

I did but I am putting matte black dual motors performance instead of the chrome.

also doing the Franz tesla too.

Ha! Thinking of doing the same. Getting white vinyl over the emblems to see how I like it before pulling them off. Dual motor has to go, no point to that for me.

I de-badged the Frunk and plan to black out the rear emblem and dual motor.

What materials are you using to debadge the vehicles?

After you debadge, are you just using an adhesive remover (like goo gone) or are you also polishing down the area as well?

Hair dryer, dental floss, Goo Gone, then polish to remove shadowing (if any). Pretty easy process.

What polish/pad are you using? Its my first debadge experience and want to be sure im using the correct supplies. Thanks!

IMO you don't need polish/pad. The car is brand new so the paint underneath should match. Goo gone / some detail spray should have it looking just fine without shadowing. At least it does on mine. Took 10 minutes total.

I agree, the polishing is more important on an older car. I have done this to most new cars I get and the heat and floss with goo gone or a plastic razor blade and goo gone works great, followed by a quick wash of the area to remove goo gone and some quick detailer.

Are there holes under the "T" badge for both front and back?

 

[LightningHcky]

Wondering the same thing about the holes

 

[Eugeinus]

It seems the "newer" MY's dont have the holes. I've seen some posts about VINs 15XXX and higher not having them with pics to prove. If you were one of the first rounds of delivery you probably have them, later probably not. only one way to tell...

I found out that my 2012 Prius had turn signal cutouts under the front fender badges that weren't there on my 2006 and 2010. Surprise!! Had to put the badge back on.

I debadged, but then rebadged the "T" on the frunk/hatch. I left off the Dual Motor and underline.

I think the "T" is classy, and without it, it looks kind of plain. The DUALMOTOR is just too much badging for me. It looks so much cleaner without.

Nobody even knows what that means, unless you also have a MY or know about the car. If you really want to know, hopefully the 21" ubers and red calipers will give it away.

Mine did not have hole on the front, but I heard, as was mentioned before, that some of the early production Ys had holes.

Couldn't you have installed cameras on each side where the hybrid badges were, just like on Teslas?

FWIW I debaged (well the shop doing the PPF did) MY May build, 9XXX white on black and NO holes in front or rear T emblem.

Same here. Debadged entirely and now am rebadging the front with an OEM “T” painted satin black.
