de-badging the yaris ?'s

[Hemidan]

Hello everyone.
I (the wife)have an 08 yaris(black),How do you remove the toyota emblems,and does it look funny removed,because of the indent(circle) thats there.
Is it an adhesive holding it on?


Any pictures of them removed

Here is the front emblem



Here is the rear



Thanks Dan

You can remove the yaris and the toyota badge....
But if you remove the toyota emblem, it leaves a couple of holes at the back of the car....
you can try to paint it black...

A lot of ppl have done it... and on the black yaris, it looks stealthy

Thanks,how do you get it out(toyota emblem)
Do you pop it off with a screwdriver?

take the front emblem out and paint it gloss black to match the car.. I'd do the same with the rest of the emblems too to match the car.. that will look awesome.

I blacked out all my emblems on my yaris.

i took off the yaris and toyota text from the back but kept the big toyota emblems

I put the yaris text in the grill in the front

To get the front emblem out.... reach your pointer finger or skinnyest finger into the mesh grill at 5 and 7 o clock around the oval.... feel upwards... presh the latches upwards....
once your get a feel around it will appear odvious how to do it.

I had a little trouble with mine at first cause i have skinny fingers but they are short.....

So,the rear (center) emblem is removed the same way as the front one.

[TinyGiant]

no

the rear one is sticky backed.

you'll have to WD40 it and it will/should peel off.. get a hair drier and heat it up the combo of heat a WD40 makes it come off easy enough

the front has clips. its an inserted emblem .. where as the back one is sticky backed

I'm not a fan of removing them. I would suggest blacking them out. They'll look a bit cheap if you simply take it off. As for the sitckied back ones, use fishing line or dental floss to remove them. The floss took a bit since it would break from time to time, but it does the trick and no scrathes to the car.

It looks wierd if you try to have the toyota badge on the rear because it goes with the body lines on the car.

I'd go with blacking them out-when they're off they leave a void like your car was repaired at a body shop and they forgot to put the emblems back on.

I painted my front emblem black
took off the "yaris" and "toyats" badges from the rear, left on the "toyota logo" on the rear.
I think it looks way better. I plan on painting the rear emblam black when I have time
