Lexus badging (stupid idea???)
I was thinking of doing something funny.
I was thinking that if the toyota badge and the lexus badge was the same size, I could just swap out my toyota badge for a lexus one. I was thinking about painting it a flat black so it wouldn't be but so prominent. I have two questions: -is this even doable (size and mounting) -is this just stupid. honestly I think it is kind of funny but that is just my weird humor maybe. ***edit*** I was thinking of this on the two exterior badges (front and rear)

Personally think its stupid, just reminds me of when people put BMW emblems on their lower end cars. I realize Lexus is made by Toyota - but a Yaris is not a Lexus.

I think it would be funny actually.
Hardly anyone knows what the Yaris is anyway, it would just further confuse them. |

definite no on this Ive seen one to many low end cars that either swap emblems and add super tacky chrome badging that spell out stupid sayings. plus half the time people do it themselves and they dont even put it on straight. But on the other hand its your car and to each man his own so if you like it then do it. just know that there might come some ridicule so be ready to deal with it. What I would do is a vitz badge swap. That would look clean

If you want to do something to confuse people and be unique, but still proper, I say Netz badges. (available at Micro Image
)

True, it kind of reminds me of this guy down my street 3 mins away. He took a CRX hatchback and put an Integra front look on the front, lights, bumper, everything~

Terrible idea. Even worse than Netz/Vitz badges.
