06YarisRS's 2ZR-FE Swap 5-Door Hatchback (Automatic Transmission)

[06YarisRS]

Badge

Looks as though the badge is going to require some modifications to fit on my car. The original TS grille seems to be more of a 'square' honeycomb and mine is more of a vertically elongated honeycomb. So, I'll be thinking about ways to adapt it to fit. A little disappointing, but definitely solvable. I'm wondering if a really strong RTV sealant would be adequate.

I thought I might buy a knockoff TS grille but the only honeycomb style grilles on eBay appear to be the same as mine.

Sorry, gentlemen, I thought these would be a direct fit, snap on item - at least for Sam and me (hatchbacks). If anyone has any suggestions about how to afix the badge, I'm all ears. Thanks.

I looked up the badge part number on toyodiy.com and it's only for the 1st gen Vitz (Echo in the US/Canada). There is/was a TS badge for the Euro ZSP90 (75312-52060) but I don't show any hits on the gargler for places that have it available for purchase. That also assumes you have a compatible grille for it (only available on JDM 05-08 RS or EURO 06-08 TS models). That said, I'm still going to try and rig something up to put it on mine. =)

Yeah, I couldn't find anything other than the ones I got. It actually isn't too bad for installation, at least for my grille. I would have used WeeYari's suggestion about epoxying a plastic bolt to it and using a plastic nut to secure it, but I'd already 'glued' it on.

Looks like your badge arrived. I look forward to seeing it on your car when you get the opportunity to install it.
