Front Emblem on Trunk?
�
�
Hey, if I were to swap my front emblem with one of those "i" badges, would I be able to put the original front emblem onto my trunk? Like on the 06's, I would debadge the SUBARU letters then stick the subaru emblem in the middle. Anyone know or think they know?

I think I don't know.
You should get one of those ford emblems that covers the key hole on the trunk but moves out of the way to allow access and swap the ford emblem for the subaru emblem then cover your trunk lock with it.

it would work with enough double sided tape but the front emblem is flat, the trunk surface is curved...so it would fit that nicely but yea it will work...i just got the 06 trunk badge from subiegal.
i think im the first one to do this (well the first one to be public =)):

That's exactly what I'm trying to do, but rather than ordering a new badge, I guess I'll try and see if I can recycle the other first. Looks very good by the way, just makes me want to do it even more now.

how well would this work on the wagon? (since the trunks are so much more curved) I'd REALLY like to do this but not debadging "subaru" until I know it'll work.
| aren040 | 10-07-2005 01:48 PM |
I dont really like it too much, I think it would look better near the key hole or something. But hey to each his own.
| enewtabie | 10-07-2005 06:48 PM |
I think I may do this in the next week or so.
| IIdiceII | 10-07-2005 07:28 PM |
Im waiting to see someone put the I badge on the trunk like the threadstarter said. That would look cool.
| civilone | 10-07-2005 09:01 PM |
I think the badge is weird because the trunk is so big. But it looks fine on a legacy because the trunk space where the badge sits is narrow.

IIdiceII,
i don't think that's what he said.

i am pretty sure he meant "i" in front, "stars" on the trunk.

Hey - aren't there posts of some sort sticking out of the back of that badge? Is there adhesive as well? Did you just hacksaw the posts off and sand them down, or what? It looks great. I've been meaning to do this....

there are 2 posts in the rear 06 badge
thus, if you remove this badge on an 06 there are 2 gaping holes
to put an 06 badge on an 05 or older,
you need to file down the posts smooth them out before installing.
there are sedan and wagon specific badges

actually those look like the OEM bumper protectors
painted white
and all 4 on the rear bumper rather than 1 on each bumper corner
they're adhesive backed/stick on
interesting idea.

Yeah, that is what I originally meant, but the "i" badge on the trunk doesn't sound like a bad idea either.... Just waiting for it to come in from Gruppe-S so I can try this out...

the I badge is a pee wee (size wise) compared to the rear trunk badge
not sure it will look right - but yeah! someone try it! :D

yea the front badge is small compared to the rear badge, plus the 06 rear badge has this cool design/texture look a like thing in it

Not exactly what the original poster had in mind, but one other option. Sorry for the lousy pic, it's raining right now.

That looks pretty cool....I had it in the middle---bad idea.
| MasFry | 10-09-2005 01:24 PM |
I would like to use the pink star badge on the front and the rear.
but like other posters said its just to small compared the size of the trunk.
is it going to be available to get the 06 style rear emblem in pink?

Rustoleum. Previous owner didn't like silver, and I heartily agree.

Not a bad Idea and kind of cleans up the rearend.
| MidnightBlackPearl | 10-09-2005 09:20 PM |
I guess I didn't realize how tiny the front badge was.... Yeah, it's probably not gonna look too good then; maybe I can find somewhere else to put it

My GF's dog is like that, he looks great too, but he wasn't happy about the procedure. :lol:
