Yes mine were removed the other weekend.
1. Best way to remove them are heat them gently with a hairdryer (or a heat gun at VERY LOW tempretures) to soften the sticky pads on the back of the badge.
2. Bit of fishing line or sting gently pull at one end of the badge. If the pads are tacky they should lift off with the badges.
3. Once the badges and sticky pads are removed, you'll need to polish that panel. I know it sounds stupid, but if you run a wet clothe over the area you'll still see the badge holograms.

i believe so,i went to c about ordering a new one fron toyota to get it custom painted,they wantes 85$,no thanksIsn't the front badge size unique to the iQ? I believe it is larger than other scions. I measure it as 6.25"x4.25" (160mmx110mm).
Yes, the front badge is VERY rare/expensive/soon-to-be collector's item ala Rolls Royce flying ladies. Were I all of you I'd debadge immediately and keep it somewhere safe, just because its so easy for somebody to walk by and credit-card it off your nose: takes about 15-20 seconds! Its the glue underneath that took me the rest of the 20 minutes, and thieves won't care about that.i believe so,i went to c about ordering a new one fron toyota to get it custom painted,they wantes 85$,no thanks

yes,some might wanna clothes there eyes,but,i will be puting the charles darwin evolution fish on the back,not sure bout the front,im thinkin the double helix,DNA strand which is allso tatooed on my neck.Any ideas as to what to replace it with? They do leave holes and dimples that look...hacked.
Ideas so far:
-forged gothic-style Scion logo (and by "forged" I'm talking sand molds and bronze casting. I've done it before.)
-Superman logo
-Batman logo (only icon I can think of that's actually oval and would fit correctly)
-Thundercats logo
...?
Apparently I watched a lot of cartoons "growing up".
And the pre-drilled holes are giving me bad ideas about running LED wiring...
Anybody else?
