the color that is
Added a coat of wax to stave off the massive increase in rust this year over last.
Also, anyone know what glue to use for this?

No it’s not bad. Boring, but not bad. My truck is almost the same color. I am so very bored of silver after 11 years.
It’s starting to pop some rust as well.

its kinda of an interesting color. its silver if its clean and brown if its a little dirty, even if the dirt isn’t brown. its more like pewter than silver, but its not my first choice thats for sure.

It bothers me the the pegs that hold the badge on aren’t symmetrical. I guess that had to make them work for both Toyota and Lexus, it then couldn’t they just put them, on the outer ring?

To answer your question: thin red 3m tape
Make sure that spot is absolutely clean before applying.

I gotta figure out how to get that residue off first, some I got off with a soft scrapper but some took a little paint off with it when I tried. maybe heat?

Try a hair dryer or a warm but not too hot setting and gently use the plastic scraper to tease it off.
Other wise use a good tar and glue remover such as AutoFinesse ObliTARate, soak a little bit of kitchen towel/roll and place it on, don’t let it dry, and every now after then give it a wipe or gentle rub to remove some adhesive and repeat as often as necessary.
If the adhesive is too hard and not showing any sign of budging. Tape off as close as you can to the adhesive and attack it with a denibbler or 3000 (3000 is very fine so you won’t do much if any damage to the paint even if your quite aggressive with it) grit wet and dry sand paper wrapped around a wood or plastic block. Follow up with a fine polish and then panel wipe wipe down to remove any polish residue and so the adhesive from the new badge sticks properly to the car and not any grease or polish residue.

Not that it’s the most convenient route but I’ll toss it out there. When I interned at a body shop we always used those eraser wheel things. I’m sure there are better ways though. I can’t remember the chemical we used afterwards if that didn’t get everything though.

Looking good!
When I debadged I used fishing line, goo-gone, and simple green purple.. It was mid summer so no extra heat needed.
Second the 3m tape, the trick will be getting it out of sight behind the emblem.

Acetone and a plastic scraper.

Use a hair dryer, some goo gone and a lot of elbow grease.
