Quick few pic's for you guys, and mainly ChinoCharles, that was interested in how it would look.

Please excuese the extremely dirty Liftback, and poor lighting..

Painted Flat Black.

Some will like, most will hate.

ChinoCharles · 08-26-2006, 11:28 AM

Dude, that looks amazing! What kind of paint did you use? It'll look even better with some tint.

That looks really really nice Chris! Of course it doesn't hurt to have a white car, I'm wondering if this "mod" will look good with any color as obviously darker colors it won't stick out that well. Anyway looking good! It really complements the car well, are you going to do the front as well? Did you just take of the emblem and then put it back on? If so how did you do it? Thanks for the pics!

nice!....poor lighting made it not-so-extremely-dirty...hehehe...looks good bruh

*Chris07LB* · 08-26-2006, 11:43 AM

Yes, I did it the correct way... Removed, prep'd, primered, painted, new body tape, re-installed, DONE!

If anyone would like a How-To, I will break it all down again, but would need someones rear emblem to document the rest.

ChinoCharles · 08-26-2006, 11:59 AM

A few questions Chris...

1. What do you mean by new body tape?

2. What kind of paint did you use?

3. Any issues with removing the decklid panel to get to the badge? Where did you start/end popping the tabs off?

Lowfront · 08-26-2006, 03:07 PM

I like it

That looks really nice, Chris! Reminds me a bit of the appearance of the Black Pearl Plated emblems that Toyota used to offer as a dealer accessory.

Katana · 08-26-2006, 04:47 PM

Dammit mine is black, so no painting for me...

spacemanoeuvres · 08-26-2006, 05:20 PM

that looks so sweet on the white hatch, nice job

*Chris07LB* · 08-26-2006, 05:40 PM

Didn't think anyone would actually like it!

I will be sure to take better pic's once I wash the car, and it stops raining out.... booo rain!

hasher22 · 08-26-2006, 05:47 PM

Nice as well I'm sure. Its a personal thing.

Nothing is gloss black on my car (all factory plastics are satin), so using a Flat Black, to get the look I wanted.

hasher22 · 08-26-2006, 06:18 PM

OOO ya ya i get ya...........

it blends heaps well with the wiper and the button boot thingy bobby....haha, looks hot as well cuz theres no chrome around ur car.

10/10 ;)

Ps. Thats a dirty yaris?? hahah you should see mine, you can see the fingermarks from the dirt when opening the boot. It looks like ive stuck people in the boot and they are tryin to get out. I cant be bothered washin it

i saw this black toyota and she painted her symbols red.......BAD IDEAD looked like ummm whats the word...............SHIT

Why not... then it would be stealthbadged like those bodycolor badges Chevy loves so much.

riceboy · 08-26-2006, 09:03 PM

not bad.. did you match the front too?

junior · 08-26-2006, 10:44 PM

that looks so SWEET!
my polar white hatchback is coming off the boat on monday...a couple more days for processing and we're in business. this is definitly one of the first things im gonna do.
i was thinking of de-badging as per the previous several threads... but i think black "toyota" and "Yaris" badges would compliment this look.
think i could re-attach the badges without making it look totally ghetto? any suggestion would be greatly appreciated... ie, types of adhesive ...perhaps some kind of template for properly aligning the badges...
anything else anyone might anticipate.
