true, but the toyota emblem has the 2 pins in it so it's not as easy to remove without a lot more work... the TOYOTA and GTi-16 wording badges were removed so I 'kind of' class it as de-badgedjimGTS wrote:/\
technically thats still badged.

Re: de-badge or not to de-badge
Remember .... there was one such MR2 model that DID have no holes in the boot 
I have also bought a brand new boot panel from Mr T and that came with no holes in it either...

Re: de-badge or not to de-badge
My UK REV5 had holes that needed filling as I posted earlier in this thread.
So by review it looks like:-
JDM import = no holes
UK = holes that need filling

Re: de-badge or not to de-badge
I concur. That's why I colour-coded mine to blend it in (oem style) as I couldn't be bothered to go to the expense of getting it filled & re-sprayed. Every UK car I've seen had the badge & holes.peteV6R5 wrote:My UK REV5 had holes that needed filling as I posted earlier in this thread.

Thought everyone knew this?
However on the front, the Toyota badge is pinned on the front bumper, regardless of JDM or UK.
