Can anyone make this happen? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ok so I just got an awesome Idea!

My Bayou Blue 3dr Hb's name is "Yoshi" and I was just outside today admiring my car on a nice sunny day and thought that it would be F-ing awesome if I could replace the "Yaris" badge on the back (in Picture) with a custom fabricated "Yoshi" badge made to look exactly like it....

Can anyone else share my enthusiasm for this and better yet is there anyone in Yaris World that could make it happen for me?

i think you can order custom badges online to say whatever you want...not sure about the text styles available...

I cant seem to find anything that I can get less than 60 pieces per order or less than like 400$ .... any suggestions?

You can get the individual chrome letters from most auto parts stores.

no can do unless you have someone custom fabricate one.

Get custom license plates...it'll be easier and probably cheaper, plus more noticeable...

I know I guy that might be able to do it in vinyl.

You can try ebay. Some sellers will do custom vinyl lettering quite cheaply. I even asked a seller who was only doing custom Kanji if he could do Hirigana for me and he said yes. (My car's name is Aisubeki (Loveable). I wanted that in Hirigana)

To get that in actual letters like you want sounds really expensive.
Best of luck getting Yoshi's name on him.

A custom plate would be even cooler if it's available.

I wanted to make it very subtle because I plan on putting a big white vinyl "Yaris" sticker on the side eventually

Until then I want people in my area (who dont see many Yarii) to get even more confused when they look for the badge...

and it would probably end up costing me more because i move around to different states alot and having to get new Custom tags every timem I move will be a pain!
