Can I replace the Toyota symbols on my LB with Lexus ones? - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

Although I am against rebadging to Lexus, it is your car and you can do whatever you want with it.

Just do it right. Not too flashy, not too messy, and must blend in with the rest of the car.

Like just the other day, I saw a black Corolla rolling around the Medical Center. It was BADGED-TO-THE-MAX with TOYOTA this and TRD that. As if it wasn't annoying enough, when I glanced at the top right corner of the trunk (where it curves over to the bumper), he had a chrome VTEC badge!! No, this is not a typo. It wasn't TRD or even VVT-i, it was VTEC. I pointed, laughed, and pulled a muscle.

So please don't badge in a way that it'll make people strain muscles on the road.

........but then again, I am the guy who put "CAUTION WIDE TURNS!" in big, white, reflective letters on my hatch.

LEXUS badge FTW lol. I was actually thinking about this the other day. Goofy yes, different yes. To hell with other people think, F 'em all... let god sort 'em out :)

Don't forget the Lexus key chain, driving gloves, muffler and cap. That way it will be an ensemble.

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.

any news on this? i'd like to see how it comes out :)

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

)

back from the dead!

I would not mind a Lexus badge on a Yaris. If Toyota can do it, so can we... Personally, I would never do it on a bone stock Yaris. That's just rice. If you have upgraded it (rims, lights, lowered, tint, maybe a body kit and paint), I could see a Lexus badge working on a classy looking Yaris...

why? · 10-24-2010, 09:13 AM

I might roll a daihatsu badge on my Yaris, but I don't think I do anything someone would actually know, that would be boring.

Slick · 10-24-2010, 10:04 AM

Yaris Land Rover rebadge ^.^

MadMax · 10-24-2010, 10:20 AM

So has anyone actually rebadged their Yaris with Lexus badges? If so, don't be shy; post up some pics!

Honestly, I still think it would be quite humorous! And heck, no one should let the opinions of others/peer pressure keep them from doing something that they really would like to do!

Cheers! M2
