Need Help with VVT-i Emblems!

Hi I want to put the VVT-i emblems on my HB's fenders just wanted to know where do they exactly go. I saw some random pics around of users but can't find them, can someone help me with pics? Also would they look nice on the SD also? I really love that red i

You need to ask one of our Australian members. Although they are VVT-i fender stickers down under, they can give you a good idea about proper placement.

Australian Yaris' dont have such "VVT-i" badges on our fenders. We have either "VVT-i" or "1.5 VVT-i" stickers under the signal lights. In my opinion, the "VVT-i" badges will look better in the position of where you see "D4-D" badges on the European Yaris. You can see what I mean in the picture sub-forum.

That's exactly what I meant. =)
I think it looks better than having it underneath the side markers. =)

Are those placements official locations from factory?

Also, is the "I" in VVT-I supposed to be RED?

I don't think I've ever seen them without the red "i"....and as far as factory placement...not sure about that either. I think some previous member had them where I put them and said that's where they are put for the cars that stay in Japan...but don't quote me.

it always makes me smile...I think of how much work I put into debadging every car I get and then see people asking where to stick extra stuff on their cars. before I get flamed not saying anything bad about, just pointing out the differances in taste :)

personally I would say my opinion would be to stuff it under the turn signal cause it looks out of place off center, so I would stick it over by the factory location for the badge.

with that said, thank you ever so much for not sticking a Vtec badge on your car.

We have the VVT-I badges here in Australia with and without the Red I's. We have the red 'I' ones on the Hi-Ace vans. The normal silver 'I' ones are on our new Corolla (Auris elsewhere), Tarago, Rav and a few other vehicles here in Australia.

I put them directly below the side markers. I think they look better there than off to the side.

Never saw a Vitz in Japan with VVT-i emblems (or stickers) on the fenders.

True I used to debadge also but that VVT-i is nice also around here most of the hondas v-tec are decals so I'll rub in the emblem. Also factory location is the way to go!
Also have you seen a HRD decal cuase I have LOL HONDA RACING DEVELOPMENT! and american cars with Japanesse letters, Believe me people do that.

It would look nice to be centered but might take off the effect of factory placement altough we don't know where it actually goes!?
