RacerFreakXXX Meteorite Metallic HB

Finally took some pics of my new yaris I have a few mods so far, nothing fancy












After looking at the pics and seeing how fugly the stock offset and height was, I decided to debadge my car.







After a good wash, I added my New Vitz badging. The only problem was that I had to remove the front bumper to put the front one on. I had no time to remove the bumper today so I'll do that on my next day off.

You dont have to remove the front bumper to remove the front logo Imo. Just get a pair of channel locks wrap the "jaws" in tape(to prevent scratching the old toyota logo) and just grab the logo with the channel locks and give it a quick/strong tug stright back away from the bumper and it will pop right out and not mess anything up . Then just click the new netz logo in . Take about 1 minute to do .

I'm 6ft, 210Lbs and I just jammed my pinkys into the lower rt/lft holes below the emblem and pushed the tabs. Presto!
DON'T rip off the whole front of the car for that. DO remove the front bumper to do the foglights you will want very soon.

Hey question. There's pins on the back of the rear Toyota emblem? Looks like two holes. Now I'm glad I did'nt do a full debadge, would've left holes!
PS: where did you get the Vitz/Netz stuff at?

yes there are two holes on the rear badge on the 09 at least. The badge is stickied on and clipped on. I had to use fishing line to remove most of the sticky stuf and it kept breaking when it hit the clip. So I decided to just pry it off with my fingers and realized it had clips.

Who else does everyone get their jdm badging from, Garm(cali yaris) of course

I'm 5'8" and have long skinny arms and fingers and I still couldn't do that. Removing the mid under-pannel was a pain in the a$$ but it got the job done. I also did a little wight reduction while I was at it, no more than 2lbs at most, rofl.

Engine cover is just going to sit around and yes that is the jack cover. I moved the jack to one of the foam compartments by the spare. Makes more sense to put it there.

Engine covers are gross imo... I have to find a valve cover and paint it and swap it with my current one. I may just polish it, nothing like a nice polished valve cover

Looked like a perfect day for picture taking.
Does the Broadway mirror interfere with the visors when the visors are down?
