I have just shaved my TCH. AKA debadged it.

tools needed:
1. dental floss, ample supply
2. strong hands
3. spray can with soapy water
4. rag

It's very simple indeed. Drive floss between metal and emblem and slowly see-saw floss underneath. 1st emblem took me 4 floss cuts, last one - only 2, iI figured that it's more of a pull, than sawing action. Then rub glue off, and spray with soapy water. Wipe off with a rag. move to another one.

I shaved mine as much as I could. I am looking into removing rear Toyota emblem too. Just need to find something to replace it with. Can not simply take it out, there will be holes in boot. I'll find or make something. I have plenty of carbon at work, that might be a choice.

Entire process took me only about 15 minutes.

Please don't do that. First-responders need to know when they are dealing with an electric or hybrid car. The 260+ volts of DC that are present in the battery, can KILL fire- or rescue- workers if they don't know they are cutting on an electric car. The emblems that say "hybrid", on the front fenders and the rear, are there for SAFETY reasons, not just for advertising.

See, for this model, https://techinfo.toyota.com/techInfo...cs/camryhv.pdf

 

yes, I know. Matter of fact, your concern is noble and appreciated.

 

btw, you realize this site has instructions on shaving posted?

 

Much to my protest, I included it in the FAQ since the thread was a collaboration, not my own piece of work.
I can't think of any benefit nor reason to do that. It's your car. Is a car more impressive looking without it?
I hate to see a thread on this topic as it might spur someone else to consider such a (what's a synonym for foolish....oh, here's a good one) questionable move. Children, don't try this at home.

When you go to sell it, you'll have to figure out how to reapply the emblems, no?
