And I've now realized how shitty of a paint job the last idiot owner did on my front panel (for Christs sake they didn't even clean it before spraying!?!!?!?). So what do you think of Maaco?

Completely unrelated, but if you have the time, I suggest plasti-dipping your Toyota badges black. A buddy of mine did that on his Matrix, and it looks WAY better.

Eh, I think it might look a little plain without a badge there, since the badges on these are decently sized.

Sometimes de-badging has the effect of making something look like a cheap knockoff. I like to limit de-badging to just the removal of minor items, like trim level indicators, while leaving make & model badges in place.

I always think it was in a wreck and repaired with shitty non OEM parts

When I put the plates on my Galant I got frames that have caps that cover the bolts, and plastic bolts. No more ugly rust trails from rusting license plate bolts, ever.

Are wrecked cars the ones that have the badges in the weird spots (example: A Corolla logo really low on the tailgate instead of high up like it normally is).

Well, the Bay Area is full of people with murk’d out dipped cars. I'm not the biggest fan of the style.
