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 -

agreed small improvements make a world of differences goin all out looks tacky sometimes

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, 05:14 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.

True, it kind of reminds me of this guy down my street 3 mins away. He took a CRX hatchback and put an Integra front look on the front, lights, bumper, everything~

I'm lol'ing, if you get a chance take a pic of that!

kinda funny how people over-seas re-badge them as a yaris! Personally i find that the name yaris is kind of goofy. Vitz is way better.

Dadams · 01-20-2012, 01:40 AM

Agreed that's why we people over seas rebadge our yaris :P

Fixed.

IMO, of course.

BEEF · 01-20-2012, 06:47 AM

wow, I had no idea I would get this kind of response.

TRDMarty · 01-20-2012, 08:16 AM

If you do it, well then thats cool. But at least try to confuse everyone by installing
the badge upside down so it looks like a big ''7''.
Garranteed to raise some questions. Great conversation piece.

Yeah he owns a Subaru Performance Shop in Washington.

HAHA, I just made this joke to my girlfriend yesterday. As we drove by the lexus dealership.

I'm sticking with my blacked out sombreros. But if you do it, can't wait to see pictures! I like the idea of flipping them and making them 7's!
