Painted badges and aftermarket mirrors on NSR's Yaris - Toyota Yaris Forums

ChinoCharles · 07-24-2006, 12:38 AM

I saw a couple of things I liked on this car. First of all, I saw it had a painted rear Toyota badge. What would the procedure be to paint these badges? I'm assuming it is little more than maybe a little sanding and a few layers, but I don't know anything about this stuff so I'm asking the experts.

The other thing was those mirrors... I knocked my mirror off already (I occasionally moonlight as an absolute moron) so if I was going to spend the $150 or so to replace the factory mirror I could spring for something a little nicer. I'm in the states so I'm sure its from overseas and will cost an arm and a leg... then there is the issue of Meteorte being a US only color. Life is never easy.

Any help?
