I really want this type of emblem, but I'm not so sure of this condition this one is in. I'm mainly concerned about the metal, I'm fairly certain that I can polish the fogginess away from the center. Whaddaya think?

That's what inspired me to get the emblem. I only want the front though. With the back, I want to shave everything and put the old school cursive "Celica" on the left.

Yahoo Japan?

So could I polish it, no problem? If so, what could I use? And what do you think about that weird dent on the top right?

Easier said than done. That's the only one I found after about an hour or two of looking.

Words to live by. Oh well, I can wait. It'll be worth it, it looks REALLY great on your Celica.

it sure beats me why they got rid of those emblems, they look awsome and give the celica the individuality it deserves rather than just having some toyota emblem... lame

you should be able to just fill the dent, give the badge a light sand and polish the center and then you should be able to get a chrome spray paint from and hardware store

good luck
