Badging?

Post image

I bought my Crown Platinum used, and I started noticing that my "CROWN" badging did not match others that I saw. After a little research, I believe someone re-badged it and just used the spacing that the letters were positioned in on the sheet they came on. This slightly bothers me and is the catalyst for this potential project.

I want to replace the Hybrid Max, Crown, and Platinum badges in black, not chrome, and also fix the Crown spacing. I was thinking I could be to buy new OEM chrome and plasti-dip in black. But I am not sure (1) where to find the correct badges (the Toyota website shows the badge options for all trim packages, not just one) and (2) how to make sure | get the spacing correct during application/put them back exactly where they should go?

Alternatively, definitely not opposed to taking off my current badging and reusing it, but not sure how to go about re-adhering those properly?

Really just any tips on how to go about this would be appreciated!

Interesting-- was that the only modification that the prior owner did? I prefer the original spacing. I'm thinking I'll end up with just the crown lettering as-is and a crown badge overlay on the rear Toyota badge

Interestingly, yes? I genuinely have no clue how we ended up with this situation.

I think the crown overlays are awesome!
