Can I replace the Toyota symbols on my LB with Lexus ones? - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Also you might fool some stupid cops. They give you a ticket for your lexus. You could go to court and say judge i dont even drive this lexus model car they said i was driving. And try to get it thrown out.

When i had my 240sx coupe back in the day i debaged the rear. When i got pulled over once the cop was asking me what kind of car i had if it was some sort of honda.

wouldn't work around here. Way too many Yarii around for a cop not to know what kind of car it is :0) Seriously, I counted 5 Yarii in the vicinity tonight (1 of them is on this forum, too

)

Maybe I will really confuse people and have the Lexus symbol and replace the Yaris badge with "Yugo"

Why not just buy a Lexus and put Yaris badges on it.

If you really want to do it, you should. Like I posted earlier, I did it. Some people liked it and some thought it was stupid. Everyone will have their opinion but in the end, your opinion is the only one that matters.

It looks pretty good with the lexus emblems. whatever you decide to do, good luck with your yaris.

+1

I don't understand the negative comments. If someone wants to rebadge, or even paint cow spots on their Yaris, why not? It's their car, and they can mod it however they see fit.

Myself, I like the Toyota logo on my Yaris, and I have no plan to get rid of it any time soon, but I think the OP's idea is kind of funny!

True, but just like the thing in question, Toyota/Lexus is the same company too.

Many people have swapped out Lexus badges for Toyota ones which I think is -much more acceptable (especially since up until recently, markets outside of the US sold Lexus cars as Toyota's). Putting a Lexus badge on a Yaris is just asking for trouble.

Mercedes owns smart, smart doesn't own Mercedes.

Toyota owns Lexus, Lexus doesn't own Toyota.

Therefore upgrading to a Toyota badge on a Lexus makes sense while upgrading to a Lexus badge on a Toyota doesn't.

It follows much of the same logic as subsets in discrete mathematics.

Let's look at from a different angle...

Also, the LX570 is not a LandCruiser, the GX470 is not a LandCruiser, the ES350 is not a Camry, the SC430 is not a Soarer and the IS is not an Altezza.

Anyhow, the badge swap has to be either for a laugh (a bone stock 1,0 Yaris for example) or done on a tasteful top of the line model. Preferrably the first :)

jambo101 · 10-09-2009, 04:08 PM

I sure hope its not to trick the babes into thinking you are richer than you actually are because if thats the case you going to end up with one dumb babe.

^^^^ Toyota owns 20% of Subaru (Fuji Heavy Industires), so that make as much sense as a Lexus badge.
