Im debating whether to do a full debadge or to leave the "yaris" emblem.
Been playing around w/ photoshop. Here's my quick butchershop~

1. The car currently with all emblems:

2. One with the yaris removed.

3. Partial debadge. Removed the "toyota"

4. Here's one w/ the "yaris" emblem relocated. Has a tC feel.

5. Both emblems removed. I think this is the norm.

6. Just for kicks here's one w/ a "Full" debadge. I think this looks the best but its impossible to remove the center toyota emblem w/o having some body work done.

So should I leave everything as is, take off the toyota only, or just take off both sides...

Some extra pictures.

I like the debadge look with both emblems off. But sometimes it looks like its missing something. "Lonely"

With everything off.

Then copied the corolla. Had color match window pillars. Not a fan.

I like 4 better than 5. I find that 5 is a bit sparse without any lettering. I also think 4 is better than 3 since the logo should stand out without any lettering interfering to either sides. There is a balance you have with 4 that 3 doesn't have because the Toyota lettering has been removed causing the imbalance of having the Yaris lettering to the right hand side without anything on the left. Having the lettering lower is much more aesthetically pleasing.

Yea, I agree with you. I do like picture #4 a lot. Removing the toyota emblem in pic#3 does look a bit unbalanced. And Pic#5 does look empty and alone. :smile: Any one w/ awesome photoshop skills want to make a better pic #4 for me?

I took all but the circle off. Makes it easier to clean.

#4 is definitely original. Don't think I've seen that done before. I originally just took the "Toyota" off the left side of my liftback, then went all out a few days later.

I'm feeling #4 though. It's unique. I say go for it.

i like it having the emblem. I would go either emblem and then Yaris on the bottom right (#4) or just the emblem.

Also id get rid of those ugly pillars. Slap some chrome on there. or atleast some black.

I have a 7th option on my car. Get rid of the Toyota and Yaris badges and color match the T symbol and the chrome trim.

Yea it would help. Last time I waxed the car it was horrible to wax around the side emblems.

Yea seems like that's what happenned to most people. Take off the Toyota and later take off the yaris.

Lol the color matched pillars were photoshopped. I wouldn't really go thru with that. Just wanted to see how they would look on my car. You right it's ugly.

^ wow that looks great on your car. Dechromed look ftw. I dont think the red would look as good. Oh btw the led mod on your bumper looks awesome!
