33OH · 01-19-2012, 04:55 PM

Nah mine is the meteorite one in my sig. There's no way I could DD that thing. My Miata is kissing the ground though haha, oil pan is about 1/4" from the ground (and is also cracked right now, go figure.)

Terrible idea. Even worse than Netz/Vitz badges.

well at least with the vitz badging its still technically a yaris. Im sorry but a yaris is NOT a luxury car. just sayin. I love them to death but just keep it the way it was meant to be... a yaris

Vitz badge will STILL confuse people up until this day.

I had a guy approach me while i was sitting in my car waiting for a friend. Saw him in the rear view mirror snapping pics w/ his cell phone and then approach me.

Just go w/ a simple setup and natural stock look. <-- my advice.

Do it. Make it a CT 150. Or an IS 150 SportCross. 1/2 the price, double the MPG

@ OP: People in Japan rebadge the Vitz as a Yaris like a recent pic like this -

PaddyMac · 01-19-2012, 05:56 PM

I think that our yari are made right next to Lexus in Osaka. It would be fun to apply Lexus badges to my yaris.

Kioshi · 01-19-2012, 06:14 PM

Our cars came from Aichi Prefecture in Japan. Way off from Osaka :P

OP: It's your car, do with it what you want I say.
There's one member on here who has a Subaru badge on his Yaris, probably for different reasons though.
