Where I live Prius's are everywhere.
There are probably TCHs too but they are not "different enough" to jump out at you.
Unless you have a "Jasper Pearl" and those you can see coming a mile away.
Fortunatley there are very few JP's on the road.

Yup, just use dental floss and wiggle it thru. It takes some time for the floss to cut thru that 3M tape, so be patient, it takes a few minutes. You can squirt some WD40 in there to make it easier, as that dissolves some of the glue. Then when the emblem is off, you can just rub the remaining glue residue from the car. (remember when you were a kid and rubbed rubber cement from a surface? same thing) I just rebadged the rear of my Camry this past weekend, can you see what's different?

Hybrid badge moved 8 inches vertically on the trunklid. This was initially to balance the CAMRY lettering that would be on the upper left...thereby satisfying your needs for symmetry.

Unfortunately, you used a type of superglue that may be a challenge if you ever need to remove that badge. ;-)

(Not passing judgement, I am paraphrasing your words from a previous post...I cheated.)

Looks like you did a great job...Symmetry, my man...symmetry !

Upon leaving my house today in the McDowell Mountain Ranch area of Scottsdale, AZ @ appx. 11:50a, I saw a brand spankin new Jasper Pearl.

I passed her and was about 30 yards in front of her, when from my rearview I noticed her craning her neck trying to determine if my Titanium was Hybrid grade or not. To solve the puzzle, I unrolled the window and gave her a thumbs up, which she responded to with a big nod and a smile. I have to admit, I felt a little ghey doing it, since at that very moment, I recalled the silly looks upon the faces of the SouthPark characters as they gave their little smug thumbs up to each other.

What have I become...

What exactly is wrong with Diagonal Symmetry?

According to a recent survey by "Mad Magazine" the majority of Toyota Camry Hybrid owners prefer Diagonal Symmetry.

I saw my first TCH (other than mine) in my area last Saturday. It was a Blue Ribbon heading onto the I-64E entrance ramp from J. Clyde Morris Blvd in Newport News, VA. I spotted that hybrid badge from waaaayyyyy back and had to speed up to see for sure.

Pretty car - the blue would have been my husband's first color choice but I'm lovin my JP more and more each day. And hooo boy, does it ever get me comments when I'm stopped at traffic lights and I have my windows down. People are for sure not shy about asking questions, are they?

My wife overheard a couple people in the neighborhood at the bus stop mentioning they had seen a Camry Hybrid in the neighborhood. She said it felt pretty cool telling them we just got it.

I haven't seen any yet, but there is a 2007 Camry right down the street from us.

I saw a Jasper Pearl (hybrid obviously) beauty today. I had just had my (soon to be sold) van washed and was driving around to do a cheap dry cycle when she appeared. I followed her (the car, did not notice the sex of the driver) around through some country roads trying to be a casual and harmless fellow vehicle.

The LED tail lights were very bright and attractive. The turn signal lights were equally so. She had a rear deck spoiler that added some danger and mystique to her already fine figure. I was in love and looking forward to a blue version of her that would soon be an intimate addition to my life.
