Yaris to Vitz

It seems to me that many of us Yaris owners, myself included, like to apply JDM emblems to our cars, turing the Yaris into the Vitz. My question for Vitz owners out there, are any of you turning your Vitz into a Yaris?

Hahahhaha good question!

Though I do not really understand much, I picked up the Japanese HyperRev magazine for the Vitz, and lo and behold, there seemed to be some advertising for Yaris badges...

Crazy Japanese people...

I guess people just want to be different, everywhere they go.

If the Japanese could speak English or we could speak Japanese, we can set up a badge exchange site where we swap Yaris for Vitz and Toyota badges for Netz logos.

What's the Vitz

The Toyota Yaris is sold in Japan and in some other markets as the Netz Vitz. Same basic car with a slightly different configuaration. I summize that Netz is the Japanese Scion...correct guys?

Not exactly... It's still a Toyota Vitz there, Netz is basically a distribution and promotion network that only takes care of a certain range of cars, unlike Scion or Lexus which are considered individual brands.
