I was thinking about taking my yaris badge off to put the vitz one on there to match my front emblem....

was wondering if anyone had a problem with taking the badge off and having a differnt shade of paint from fading around the letters???

I have an 07'... it doesnt look faded but its a whole differnt story when you take it off...

:iono:

Lol, thanks.

Well, unless you have totally ignored taking care of your car's finish, it shouldn't happen.

After you remove the OEM badge, you can always polish the area with a polish/cleaner and you should be OK. :thumbsup:

Just do it! :biggrin:

If you've never waxed your car and the clear coat is coming off, then you might have a problem.

it's just that it's almost impossible to wax properly around the letters.

my trunk lid was repainted after 2 years, and i removed the yaris badge about a year after the job was done.

My Yaris was bought new in April, 2007. I took off the Toyota after six months and recently took off the Yaris. There was no difference under the emblems. I park in the California sun.

I took my badges of after a year of California sun ... no problem. Just needed to polish the area and it was like they were never there.
