Stolen Emblem Damage Repair & Replacement
Around August 1st, 2000, my TRD emblem on the back of my car
and my MR/S gas door emblem were stolen from my car while parked in my parking
garage at work. Since that time I've installed a Clifford 8000 alarm with
proximity sensors and two AutoPage extension modules that detect emblem theft,
so if someone tries it again, they are in for a surprise! :-) Below are
the pictures of the damage and the paint touch-up, and the reinstall of the TRD
emblem. I am still waiting on another MR/S gas door emblem.

Some idiot with a screwdriver took the emblem, I guess
peeling it off carefully wasn't on their minds. |

The gas door emblem is missing, you can't see the
scratches in the door as easily because there is no black primer
underneath, just plastic. |

I added the Clifford alarm stickers, they can't say
they weren't warned! |
|

You can see the two lines of touch-up paint before I
polished them smooth. |

After a fair amount of elbow grease and
hand-polishing. |

The TRD stickers come in a set of 3. I put one
back on the car, sold one, and kept a spare just in case! |
