I-FORCE MAX Badge

[TheMightyGoose]

I actually wanted to do the cursive ones found on the heritage 200 series. But then I saw they are $300.

I removed mine easily. I used a hair dryer on it for about 2 minutes to heat up the adhesive backing, then I used dental floss to "saw" through the adhesive--took less than a minute. The residual adhesive left behind was easily removed using Goof-Off (available at Home Depot for about $5). I looks cleaner with it removed, I find.

I didn't even use any chemicals. I just rubbed it and it came right off. You could probably wipe it with some soap and water or rubbing alcohol if you wanted. But I didn't have any residue on mine.

Nice! I wish mine came off clean.

Maybe just maybe the next generations of LC’s won’t have the iforce max emblem… probably not… just a hope

They may well not. It seems we’re in the early stages yet of hybridization & electrification where Toyota still wants to be sure to let everybody know that their whole lineup consists of hybrids. Once that’s commonplace of not outright expected, there’s no need for a badge.

After all, how often do you see cars nowadays sporting badges with things like “5-speed”, “automatic overdrive”, or “turbo”. & while engine badges are still common (“5.0” anyone), you certainly see fewer V6 & V8 badges than you once did. Even trim badges seem to be toned down, except perhaps in the most expensive of trucks or as plastic front fender filler.
