Benggolf2 ... Your car looks awesome. Any tint coming in the future?

By the way, I ordered all chrome VVT-i emblems last week from Europe, and I plan to place them in the same location as you did. Looks best there, and is official placement.

Meteorite_Marty · 11-22-2008, 02:07 PM

Benggolf2... one more thing, how did you get your side mirrors to match your body color?

Thank you Meteorite_Marty! Yours looks great too.

Am still debating about tinting the car. I heard that cops in Richmond are hot after cars with aftermarket tint.

I didn't repaint my side mirrors, they came painted when I bought the car (Yaris RS).

Hey Benggolf2, not to pee in your pool, but aren't Netz badges only only on the front of the car in Japan? They still use the Toyota logo on the back, I believe.

As far as tints go, I had my dealer do it as part of delivery service. This way it is warrantied with the car as well. The dealer was very aware of the tint laws, which is why my back windows are darker than my fronts.

I'm with ya, despite the fact that the Vitz has a sombrero on the back; I would still put a Netz badge back there 'cause it looks better!

Benggolf2, you've got me leaning towards doing it, as it looks great on your car! Well done!

Cheers! M2

I hope you decide on doing it soon MadMax. The looks on their faces is truly priceless, really!

Where in Texas are you? My best friend lives in Corpus Christi and we go ways back....when he was still servicing planes in the Philippines and I fly them. We love Texans and they are fun to be with!

i blacked out the yaris emblem and moved it to my grill.. looks sweet.

jinxor · 01-08-2009, 12:08 AM

lolz.. .i hurt me eyes.... NOES.....

blktiger60 · 01-08-2009, 12:12 AM

There are zero indicators as to who made my car on the outside of my car.

mastaofdisasta · 01-08-2009, 02:24 AM

I did the JDM netz/vitz combo and i love it, but dont take my word for it

just as blktiger60, ur badges should be a "you" choice, who cares if its not authentic JDM or USDM, and it doesnt matter cuz all the japanese peeps want the USDM badges so the line their is blurred. And ya i can be accused of hopping on the JDM bandwagon, but hey, thats what i like : )

Castaway · 01-08-2009, 08:46 AM

Hi Blktiger, are thoses "badges" avalaible somewhere, or are they custom made?

The pirate fish is available online, the skull and crossbones is a pewter belt buckle I modified and stuck on with Loctite Power Grab tape.

Here http://www.rof.com/product_p/2295-pq.htm is one place that sells the pirate fish.
