Let's start a Yaris Club, each member has a specific number decal

[Yawesh]

i think i saw this from a Subaru Wrx club here in nyc, each car had a number.

Wouldn't it be cool if we started a global one?

Imagine driving , and you see another member's ride and his/her number - wouldn't that be cool?

I think a white Horizontal Oval shape sticker, with Yarisworld.com in smaller font, and in large font - the number.

So, who gets to have the number 1 sticker?

[Pitt Yaris]

haha, that's cool. Where's the sticker/decal go?

[Yawesh]

where ever, could be on the hatch, front fender, right under the window a la fighter jet

we should standardize the location of the sticker for easy identification..........how bout the top right corners of front and rear windows,etc?

[kustom play]

i know the evo club back in NY puts them at the bottom center of the rear window

[Yawesh]

correct, we need a centralized location for recognition

so, if someone can start it, i'll be one of the first to donate couple of dollars.

[Jerkratt]

im down for this i got a vinyl shop by me and my friend in the air force has access to a vinyl cutter :D

[eTiMaGo]

most local car clubs here do that, usually on the back window:

as for assigning unique numbers, it's a bit late now, and I fear there'll be fights over who gets the "cool" numbers (dibs on 69 :biggrin:) so it might be better to just have our usernames? We could just integrate the design with the existing Yarisworld.com stickers...

[SilverBack]

Not a bad idea, but have to agree with Thomas about the user names

We can put it here (yeah I know it's crooked):

[IllusionX]

YarisBueller

and for once you made a post that is not a repost/mumble bravo.

clubechoquebec has the same idea they get numbers/names for their cars.
I think we should go with the color code of the car and a sequential number like 8T0-01 (blazing blue )

there's no such thing for the Quebec forum... but we just know/remember each other's car and name.

just set an auto assign on the member list. first join, got #1.. so and on...

naaah that's a bit too big, it's gotta be subtle yet noticeable, like the current YW decals

lol that was just a test run. We can just shrink it way down and change the color to one or two shades off of the paint color.

I'll keep working on it

[Pitt Yaris]

If I were to do this, I would want it to be small. Similar to the first one etimago posted, if not smaller.

[SilverBack]

The challenge would be to integrate it into the YW.com logo without going too big on the YW and at the same time not going too small on the user name

Hmm, still sketching

Perhaps a little FatBoy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank and "inspiration juice" would help :drinking:

[SilverBack]

Here's a kindergarten-like rough of what I got so far with Paint lol. Soon as I get my Photoshop working again I'll mess with it some more

[jambo101]

Maybe we can all get secret tatoo's and only other YW members know where they are.

[marcus]

dibs on yc-13

[kustom play]

i dont want this huge sticker on the back window

something like YW-333 would be perfect

its if you dont know what that stands for then your not part of the cool kids

something simple

IM DOWN for that if someone ACTUALLY does this. i'll take YW714.....

+1, It's already getting annoying with people just calling out stupid random numbers.

The whole point of the number is to basically keep track of how many people do this, right? We should make a thread and start having people sign up now to determine numbers. Whatever number your post is the number you're assigned.

Your number should just be the spot you are in ordering, otherwise there's no point to this. Just buy a YarisWorld sticker and some house numbers at Home Depot. Done. you can do whatever you feel like.

exactly duck! we would want to show the strength of this club. posting should determine the number of you car. i honestly don't mind having a big number like 1,563

we are not here to torture and then slaugther innocent captured people in dark, scary rooms

[wiirenet]

That's a cool idea =) Someone on the forum actually said they've seen my car because we're in somewhat of the same area and he recognized the purple dice in my pics hehe. But I don't ever remember seeing his car!

Decals would be fun. But I gotta say, it would be awkward to get caught off guard somewhere like a random parking lot and have a stranger come up and be like "hey are you [username]?" haha.

i believe user names should go on the driver side door, like a jet pilot. it would make a cool call sign decal. but i think this can be optional and used by the owner's own resources.

but the decal should be standardized by yarisworld, and placed in a central standardize location decided by administrators heh.

[Sodium Duck]

Everyone should have to debadge the T-O-Y-O-T-A emblem and place the decal there. It's like an initiation thing. You have to do at least ONE mod to join the club lol.

[Sodium Duck]

:laugh: why bother if its gonna look like shit........

Fine. Then I got "dibs" on the cube root of negative pi R squared X 10 to the 11 power.

Wow, I'm so cool now... not. :biggrin:

[wiirenet]

I'm starting to get so bothered by the toyota emblem everytime I see mine or another cars, is that weird? I just think its so common and bland looking; I want to get rid of my rear one really bad. But can't figure out what to replace it with.

What about merging this idea with the thread about a yarisworld badge? Make a nice logo badge (but if its going to be the VW knock off, can we have 2 versions lol?) and in addition to that a tiny sticker that goes under with a number or screen name. I don't care what really. Just love the idea of a YW badge.

is making that kind of badge expensive?

[Sodium Duck]

Probably... unless someone here is very cool and has a CNC machine, or some sort of cool plastic machine thing.

[wiirenet]

I don't know, there's this thread of people that were talking about it
http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13668&highlight=yarisworld+badge

I just think an actual badge, not just a one dimensional sticker would look great in place of the toyota symbol. I want to keep my toyota symbol on the front, just not the back.

don't get pissy cause you suggested using numbers from HOME DEPOT.....

[Yawesh]

how bout really huge numbers like this ?

[SilverBack]

:laughabove:

Replace 53 with YW (not VW) and it just might be a good start

[supmet]

how bout this:http://www.tec-it.com/online-demos/tbarcode/barcode.aspx?code=MobileSemaUrl&data=http%3a%2f%2fwww.yarisworld.com&dpi=180&rotation=0&modulewidth=fit with your profile link

then anyone with a cell phone can find us (i think sabertooth had a thread about this)

How about RFid too? Then the thieves using YW as a shopping list won't even have to get out of their car to find stereos to steal.

Seriously guys, I know it sounds fun to put a sticker on your car that will only be useful at pre-planned meets - but some of you are already asking to get your car stolen. If you posted the city you live in and pictures of your expensive stereo I'm talking to you. If you make stickers that are that identifiable you're begging for it. Someone else brought this up before(just pictures and locations), but it seems like people here think it can never happen.

I guess I might just be paranoid.. I feel the same way about stereo shop stickers. "ooo look at my shiny sticker showing that I overpaid 200% for my stereo." "Uhhh.. I mean, all stock here, nothing worth stealing (doh)"

[jinxor]

I reckon the barcode idea is brilliant... You can write all kinds of stuff on it... and you can scan it with a mobile phone...
Brilliant idea mate!!!!

Im up for a barcode... it would look cool and can identify your car

[enobmort42]

i'm not a huge fan of rfid.. but a lot of the apartment complexes/subdevelopments down here use barcodes as your "in" to the gated community. it scans it on your rear-most driver's side window and as you're pulling in, it lifts the gate for you (as does orlando int'l). while i've secretly wanted my own barcode for aesthetic reasons, i don't think i'd want one like that. i like the first one, though. and yes, sabretooth has a thread on QR codes.

[enobmort42]

rfid and barcodes are two different technologies. we just got new driver's licenses witht he option of the rfid chip for frequent border crosses. but the idea of the government being able to pick up the signal from 10 meters away is a bit too THX for me.

def. it's in my passport, on my windshield (two - one for the gated community, another for toll roads), was in my lift tickets, work ID, on my debit card... they're everywhere.. at least the barcodes are a bit more subtle, yet distinguishable

[cali yaris]

There is a worldwide Yaris club - it's called Micro Image.

Just add numbers.

[supmet]

pretty soon ill be forced to wrap my head in aluminum foil as well as my Yaris[/IMG]

lol I wasn't even talking about barcodes in particular.. I'm just saying for me, having pictures of my stereo and my car, and then posting my location on the internet, and then having stickers of any kind, but unique stickers in particular would make me a little uneasy... carry on though

[Yawesh]

but we want only for yari's! :headbang:

[frownonfun]

im in... and i'll take whatever number i get... and personally anyone complaining about a number or requesting a specific one can get over themselves.

[kuyachris84]

dibs on 84... lol

[upyaris]

So did this get dropped or are we doing something. I like the idea of knowing that someone I pass on the road is part of Yarisworld and who they are.

I like the userid request as you know who you are seeing, nobody is going to remember 100+ numbers and who they are, a userid is easier. With that said, how about the Yarisworld then your UserID below it a tad smaller? We each chose our userids for a reason.

Just my 2 cents.

[l2a3k2a3i]

I like the user ID thing. ^^

[SilverBack]

I'll get back to working on it tomorrow

In the meantime, feedback on the one I already put up on the first page? It might help me send this concept in the right direction :wink:

[upyaris]

^ I like it. Maybe around the size of the brake light and we can put them just below it (some may put it over the brake light). This will keep everything centered and looking good.

[frownonfun]

to be honest i really would just be happy with a microimage and NST decal. then you'd know i was from YW.
