I’d steal that bumper cover and sell it on ebay for mad profit.

“FS: Non-dented, pristine Camry bumper cover in that universal grey color.”

Only problem is that zero Camry drivers care. Half still haven't noticed.

I thought those gold badges where a dealer install. At one time every other Camry had the gold badges over here.

Honest question, do gold badges mean/ have meant anything on any car? I remember some Oldsmobiles had gold badges too

It’s an option package I believe, usually seen on SEs (top trim)

But you see it on all sorts of Japanese cars! Maybe it’s common for top trims to have the gold badging.

Nobody seems to know.

Looks like it was an option specifically to have gold-plated badges.

Which is the silliest thing ever. (Probably intended to increase dealer markup, really.)

There’s plenty of options that I would never get on a new car, but if they’re on a used car, “eh, I didn’t pick it”...

correct. i have a few left over gold toyota badges in a drawer in my body shop. you usually only see them on black or dark green cars. grey is odd.
