The Celsior badge I bought from PK_Celsior a while back, and to be honest, the Toyota one came from an '06 Avalon...swiped it off eBay for like $5.
If I could just track down those center caps, I'd be in good shape

How did you know I had a "Toyota" script on the driver's side? None of the pics show it ha.
But yes, I do have one. I got it off eBay from a guy in Thailand as an OEM replacement part for a Hilux. While this script is much larger than the traditional "Toyota" script on cars like the Corolla and Celica, it still comes up slightly short of covering the second hole closest to the center. I know I know, I need to get that filled in or cover it or do something. But I don't want to spend $300+ (I got estimates from four local body shops, and that was the average figure) to have my trunk repainted to cover a hole that tiny.
I thought about covering it with another badge of some sort, but alas haven't come up with anything. Any suggestions are welcome.

some goodies came in the other day, chrome pillars and door trim, put them on and gave my car a much needed wash since it was about 70 degrees outside yesterday.
im still iffy about the door trim being a lil too much but will c after i put my rims back on in a few weeks.
srry for the crappy cell pics. parents took the good cam.

I am fully aware of this. But like I said, it wasn't worth $300+ dollars to have my trunk resprayed just for those two little holes. I'd much rather put the money towards Megans or exhaust. Plus, the body shops around here blow.
And also like I said, I think it looks more symmetrical that way. Yeah, it may not be "true" JDM so to speak, but it makes it unique. I quite like it
