new prius badge

[frownonfun]

anyone seen the new badge for the prius... i think it's kinda cool. pictured below is the rear badge i believe. anybody know if this will fit the yaris? also i read somewhere that it lights up so would it even be possible to remove it?

yeah i've noticed those on a ton of the prius around here

[THE ONE]

I didn't know they had their badge like that! Very cool! :w00t:

But... would you use one of those for your Yaris?? :confused: I don't know... I think it would be kinda RICE... :redface: but I don't know... just a little opinion... :iono:

[frownonfun]

it may not be for every colour but i think it would definitely look good on a blazin blue... possibly the bayou blue. idk though i'd have to see it. depends on what all else is going on with the car's exterior.

yeah we don't have but a few driving around here... only reason i even noticed this badge is cause i had to stop by the dealership today.

Good point :w00t:

Guess it could look good on the blazin blue!

I saw one last week, I think it adds a nice touch. I had no idea that it lighted up, thats cool.

How is a OEM emblem considered RICE :iono:.....

[Shroomster]

I'll try and verify the badge for you all.

but I know the following:

-front and rear are in the same style as the picture
no more of the grille look (the spaces are all filled in on the front one)

- the front is removable as for the back I'm betting it is studded into the metal

- I will check on the light up but from looking at them up close they aren't light permeable and I don't see any wires. (didn't turn the lights on or off)

[YarisSedan]

Ive noticed those too not only on just the prius. I think thats thier new badge they use on all the new toyota hybrids. Like the camry.

I consider it RICE, because in my opinion using one of those on the Yaris would look like the Honda Civis that use those Honda "OEM" lighted badges... :iono:

[lilredrocket]

i had to stop by the dealership today.


Did you brag about how we got the s/c kit installed?

[frownonfun]

lol no to be honest i don't do business with those clowns anymore. worst service department ever. so i just avoid them altogether when i can. i just needed to see the parts department about getting a pic of the 09 bumper cover without the sport lip.

[frownonfun]

and yeah the badge on the prius up at my local dealership didn't look like it'd light up but then while searching for a pic of the badge on google i ran across a few of these...

[yaris-me]

Nice, but is it doable?:frown:

[808_Yaris]

^it should be. someone can even make one if they really wanted to :tongue:

ok? that is not lit up

[PHXDEMON]

How is that even street legal if it lights up :iono:

[frownonfun]

well excuse me bub... looks lit up to me.

as does this one...
http://pe.ma/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/dsc08058-500x375.jpg
could just be the flash or the lighting or whatever idk.


anyway it doesn't matter if it lights up i wouldn't really want it to anyway i was just wondering if it can removed and put on a yaris.

[marcus]

wow its glowing.. would that fit ours..

[YAR1S]

From what I've seen the DONT light up... they just have that odd and awkward blue glow on all the new prius's.... I think it looks SOOOO out of place and tacky, almost like you left some painter's blue duct tape around the emblem when you painted it and forgot to remove it.... people who have seen them will know what Im talking about.



NOT COOL.
:thumbsup:

[enobmort42]

i'm on the fence... i used to think it looked tacky, too, but the more you see it, the more it kinda grows on you lol

[Shroomster]

sorry if my typing came across harsh.:redface:

it's just as Yar1s stated and I stated too, it's just the look of it. instead of it having that grille inside the chrome areas, they made it smooth and put a black sticker with blue 'halo' edging.

yes it can be removed; but put on a yaris we'll have to wait and see if someone at a dealership wants to do it....

or I can wait for a totaled prius to come in.....

[YarisSedan]

I found a set on ebay for 365 dollars......

[JumpmanYaris]

damn that looks sexy mmm in RED???:laugh:

[JumpmanYaris]

I found a set on ebay for 365 dollars......

wait as in $3.65 or $365.00 :brokenheart:

[frownonfun]

$365 sounds pretty outrageous... i'm betting i can get them from the dealership cheaper than that.

and to shroomster it's all good. i thought you were being kinda short but that's my bad for misinterpreting.

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

75310-47010 is the front AND list price is 46.36
75310-47020 is the rear AND list price is 32.38

[AznGouki]

Those aren't light ups. They look lit but its actually a piece of plastic behind the emblem. I'm gonna be picking up a filter from the dealer tomorrow so I'll check it again. But pretty sure I remember it being just a sheet of plastic.

[eht13]

I saw one in person in a parking lot the other day, and as others have said it didn't look like it would light up. Not sure why it looks that way in those pictures, though, that is weird. Anyway, I thought it looked ugly / tacky... not nearly as nice as it looks in the photos posted upthread. Also, as far as the questions about whether it would fit a Yaris... it looked too large compared to the existing logo badge on a Yaris, but I didn't measure it.

[wiirenet]

I saw one of these and it didn't register to me that it was prius-specific, just thought it was a cool mod. I liked how it looked in person :x I would buy them if they weren't so expensive... and if someone did it first and posted pics to show if it fit right!

[cali yaris]

This just gave me a really good idea. Need to go by Home Depot. :wink:

[wiirenet]

Hmm, if you're going to try to make something custom that looks similar... I would buy a version with purple instead of blue!

[cali yaris]

I should be able to post up in a few days with an idea for you guys. :biggrin:

[bobselectric]

I did mine with some paint

[The Architect]

i like the fog light leds. how did you mount them?

[bobselectric]

double sided tape

[hasher22]

ya i love the fog lights. U must teach us all... :)

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

just got mine off back order in this mornings shipment. Rear one is a perfect fit with double sided tape and some tabs broken off.Front one looks a bit too big though. Im gonna have to wait til later to see......

[The Architect]

was their enough room between the body and the fog lights to slide the wires through or did you have to remove the fogs?

[the_boss]

doesnt look like he have the actual fog light lamp there
i might be wrong tho

[bobselectric]

No fogs... just weatherproof LED strips from Oznium.com, and a small hole drilled through the plastic, and hooked into the parking lights.

[hasher22]

back to the topic. I dont think the badge lights up. Its just a glow effect.

[advocate]

I've seen a couple of these now and I believe it's just a light effect of some kind. When you see it it looks like it's glowing but it really isn't.

Also, all the new Lexus' have this new emblem as well. Although obvious it's a blue L that looks like it's glowing.

[The Architect]

i saw one in a parking garage at yale and it DOES NOT light up...thats the truth. I got my face about 4 inches away from the thing...it doesnt light up, its just in the way it was made.

[frownonfun]

ok everyone i'm pretty sure we've established that it doesn't light up quite some time back. can we let it go.

[Qmobile]

[QUOTE=frownonfun;407919]it may not be for every colour but i think it would definitely look good on a blazin blue... possibly the bayou blue. idk though i'd have to see it. depends on what all else is going on with the car's exterior.

I'd rock one!:headbang:

[loriotto]

OEM makes a Prius badge that lights up. $139 on ebay

[jpmck03]

Ha, way to bring this thread back from the dead...

Just out of curiosity, I looked up how much something like this would cost and found this set:

2009-10 Toyota Prius Blue-ish Black Chrome Emblem (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-10-TOYOTA-PRIUS-BLUE-ish-IBLACK-CHROME-EMBLEM-/360288114627?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item53e2d857c3)

:laughabove:

$430 + 30 for shipping?

:eyebulge:

They'd better give you an extra 50hp and an extra 25mpg for that price!

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

BASICALLY, its just a blue border that goes in the back of the emblem. ALSO does not fit front......
