Anyone know where to score some Vitz badges? :biggrin:

I have to say, I think I like the grille on the sedan better. They shoulda' put that on the hatch, then it would've been really sporty. However, I think the sedan grille was swiped from Mazda.

Seen lots of them on eBay. :smile:

Both are good. To me, the HB seems to have more character but the sedan is more suitable to be a family car (of course it is suitable for other purposes too).

[eight_heads]

why do you want Vitz badges when you have a Yaris? you live in GA... i could understand if you had Vitz parts maybe or had one imported....but it's still a Yaris... sorry, but things like that bug me, but to each his own

It's not like I'm putting a GT-R emblem on the car.

[mikeukrainetz]

I agree, same as the JDM croud putting red badges on their cars, or ordering JDM headlights, etc etc. A mod is a mod is a mod.

[stuffy]

well the japanese vitz only comes as a 5-door, so i guess technically, an american 3-door can't ever be a vitz

[mikeukrainetz]

BTW, does the Yaris coupe reuse the previous echo headlights? the tails are different than the echo but only slightly

[Ran Kizama]

I agree, same as the JDM croud putting red badges on their cars, or ordering JDM headlights, etc etc. A mod is a mod is a mod.I'm part of this "JDM Crowd" but don't expect to see a huge wing and neons on my car. I do plan on doing an entire Vitz conversion however. Floormats, Doorsills, Badging, Interior Bits, the works. Say what you will, but it's what I like to do. (^_^)

well the japanese vitz only comes as a 5-door, so i guess technically, an american 3-door can't ever be a vitzThe last Vitz was available as a 3-Door in Japan, not so for the new model?

[stuffy]

as far as i know, the 3-door on the gen 2 vitz is not available in japan, echo hrs or someone more knowledgeable would be able to tell you for sure

[mikeukrainetz]

wasnt bashing the badge swapping at all if thats how it came accross. Just saying do what you feel like doing to your ride and dont worry about the next guy.

My Toyota Vitz-YARiS has one.

To each his own, but that looks a bit too "busy" back there to me.. :rolleyes:

[mikeukrainetz]

I agree, keep the vitz badge and pull the toyota and yaris badges, it should be apparent what it is.

[Chaad32]

I agree with Ran Kizama....I would also like to do a Vitz conversion (Front emblem, rear badge, door sills, RS emblem for grill, and VVT-I badge). I think it is a great idea and it makes the car stand out even more. Not to mention that it won't cost that much.

[fnkngrv]

I say down with the badges...run it blank other than maybe picking up the RS badge for the grille

[JustAnotherAsian]

sure... there's badging... but why stop there with the jdm-ness? lol.

i was just cruisin around the japanese website... get the jdm power-folding mirrors! now that's pretty nice.

[Chaad32]

What is the JDM website

[SAKU]

i know a place where they have the badges, u can get both the vitz and the one up front to replace the toyota

www.kamispeed.com

ummm they have a website but u might try calling them, i dont think they have those things on their website

[JustAnotherAsian]
