No, it's that fact that there is this claim that the guy has special permission from Toyota to make modified Toyota emblems. And people that have been around the forum for a while are calling B.S. on that fact. If someone wants to sell stuff on here, more power to them. But if one of the first things out of their mouth is something that is most likely a lie, well, they're not going to be very welcome here. I mean if the guy would lie about that, what else would he being willing to lie about.

I can't speak for everyone else here, but I'm going to take a wild guess that no one here believes that Toyota is going to come over to their house with some laywers to sue them for having an "unauthorized" emblem on their Yaris. This is an issue about whether or not the claim that was set forth about his special permission is true.

I don't think anyone is under the impression that he does work for Toyota or that he produces OEM emblems for Toyota. (By the way, what's the address to his site?) I think everyone is basing this on the fact that it was mentioned that the guy claimed to have permission from Toyota to make his own emblems:

If we want to put this to rest, someone find a copy of his special permission slip from Toyota. But there's no reason to start getting up in arms about vendors that support the site.

Don't agree with them? Don't worry about it. They're not forcing anyone to buy their goods, nor are you forcing anyone to buy some devil-horn Toyota emblems. If people buy either one, great, someone makes a profit and someone purchases something they want. If people don't buy either one, well life will go one just as well.

Again, I couldn't care less about the emblem(or it's legitimacy)...I was going to mod the Tacoma emblem to fit my application anyways, but since everybody is all about these now I'll figure something else out.

I'm still trying to figure out where did those words of someone having special permission ever come out of ANY of my posts???? someone else quoted someone they spoke to saying that. but that comment about someone being allowed to produce these never was in any of my posts..


once again i never said he was given any permission for anything.... as for toyota coming to my house and checking my vehicle, they have no fucking business to inspect my car considering its paid off and its MINE.

everyone is giving me the legal speal about its not authorized and its not this and its not that... im about to stop being tactful and and just say what i want to say WHO THE FUCK CARES????? why is this even an issue to anybody ???? if i recall the "vendor" who jumped in here brought all this up

these words never originated from any of MY posts, i was trying to clarify what another member said in this thread.

One more time yet again... what does it matter if he has permission to sell these or not ??? do the people on ebay who sell fake TRD,Mugen,ralliart, nismo etc have " special permission" to sell these items?? no not what so ever... does it stop people from buying it ?? no probably a small portion of people wont, because they want the real deal which is understandable.

I made this thread to ask if anyone knew of these emblems, where to find them and after i seen someone on another forum producing it, i went out of my way to try find out more info about them, but once again everyone wants a special permission slip saying its ok from toyota and they need to make sure they wont be sued for displaying an emblem on a car they own.

honestly you yaris "aficionados" are quite fucking ridiculous, i have never heard of such nonsense pertaining to someone selling a item or service before. in any thread i have ever viewed... maybe its just yaris owner thing

as for this specific item, i know you don't sell it but are you worried about someone else taking business from you ? don't worry dude there's plenty of people on this forum as well as the other forums you advertise on that you can continue to sell your stuff.

im not even the guy selling these emblems but your pissing me off. let me find the correct info and i'll update everyone... take a chill pill
I am so glad I saw your other whining thread before I saw this one. This post alone should be your banning.

His skull emblem he is "peddling" is of high quality ABS and not the "crap" you are seeming to elude to. If you are asinine enough to blow $120 on a horrible horned metal emblem that very well could be illegal and possibly forced to removed by the official manufacturer then more power to you. On a truck, sure, that emblem would look fine and even stylish, but not on a car. It would remind me of Boss Hog's car on Dukes of Hazzard...would look totally out of place.

You have got to be out of your rabid ass mind to think that one of these horned jobs is worth a buck twenty. You wanna know what emblem is worth a buck twenty? The hood ornament for a 50's Chrysler, Buick, Plymouth, or Chevrolet. I love my Yaris, but honestly I really can't think of something that I have wasted money to that tune on mine and I have dropped a great deal of cash on my sedan.

Perhaps this will persuade you to take up your own personal issues via PM instead of in the wide out open after someone has gotten iritated with you not only whining about it on not only this thread, but creating another dedicated one for all to see.

Thanks for letting me know who I will not want to have as a customer for sure...I would hate to sell my products to you seeing as how you support our current vendors.
Amen.

You are being too kind to him. I would use much harsher language.

not at all..... 2 of my threads, you were quick to respond but when you responded, all i seen was you sell this or you sell that.... if i wanted to buy something from you i would have contacted you first. what i wanted were people opinions or ideas if they used a specific item... not your item.
your like a vulture bro, im a member on quite a few forums, and i have never in all my time being on any auto forum has seen a vendor who persistently is trying to push what he sells so hard that he must jump into a thread and say " WELL I HAVE THIS ". You know, you'd be an excellent car salesman...
because its two different things
I would love to have taken this on to a PM but as i messaged you and another mod last night, for some reason i can't send any out. hopefully someone will look into that
Ok, so don't support the vendors. But don't waste the board's money either. You know where the door is. I've been to many car forums too. I've never seen a forum so willing to allow a member to post after such a tirade as yours. The money the vendors are paying allow you to throw your virtual temper tantrum and still keep posting. There are few places that would allow the same.

Garm is more than welcoming about new vendors coming on board. He even said he "liked" these emblems on the first page, and then posted an alternative.

If that's trying to peddle items in every thread, well then...

buy some wheels off me.

its not that serious if everyone is butt hurt about an emblem whether its oem or approved by toyota or whatever then just plain forget it.
I wasn't going to benefit out of these, i was just seeing if anyone else was interested or had any knowledge of them. matter of fact i'll enquire for myself i'll have the mods delete or close this thread. end of story
There are many people selling products they are not licensed to sell. There are many people possessing things that are illegal. Every once and a while a judge decides said people should pay a few million in fines or so.

I thought the undersigned gave me the responsibility to decide when a person should or shouldn't be banned... Good to know I have your go-ahead though.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that someone can do whatever they want to any emblem they want, they just can't make a profit off it without the "ok" from originator. So if you have a devil toyota emblem, they will not make you pay the fine, they will go after the person who is making them/selling them.

That is correct, but it's true whether or not it's for sale or profit. If you appear on their radar, you're gonna get the letter. Gotta keep those salaried lawyers busy!
