Debadging Good or Bad? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Anthony · 05-20-2007, 10:34 AM

My car has recently over gone a complete spray job. In order to re-spray the vehicle, the dealer had to remove the badges from my car. I believe that without all of the silly little chrome badges all over the car, it can make it much more classy. What do you think?

Mate,

If you use the search function you will see that it is a very popular thing around here.

BTW, looks good!

you might just want to put the rear toyota emblem back on, that oval hole just looks weird without anything in it...

I like your big ole' clean, shiny, black booty.

I think I might go out an hack mine off now. I hate cleaning around that thing on my ass.

Will your mom still recognize you without the tail?

I agree... the hatch design is centered around the logo. All the lines meet at the oval, they even offset the oval to accept the emblem, so it's kinda important design element.

I am going get the center badge sprayed black and when it is in, it will give the back of the car more structure as well as putting something in the whole in the middle

I don't like the "debadged" look; I think it looks like a damaged/wrecked car was rebuilt incompletley leaving an unfinished look (To sloppy or hurried to even replace the badges, AKA- cheap fix

). Just what I see when a car lacks details.

I totally agree....but it does look pretty sweet

uncleyaris · 05-20-2007, 07:14 PM

it is missing something for the hatch to be complete. paint it black but put it back.

It is just a cleaner look. No shame. I don't like those cheapy looking labels on my booty. The emblem is fine but I think badges make it look tacky and cluttered be it a Mercedes a Jaguar a VW or a Toyota anything. That's my opinion. They are also a bitch to clean around. I like smoothies.

But 'eh if you love 'em keep 'em on. Some guys even want to -ADD- badges to there cars.

Right on.

I know it's a Toyota Yaris, I don't need a reminder every day

Heh, when I get one, I'm going to have some decals custom made to replace the "T" badges. I wanna drive an Autobot!

I debadged my car a few months ago, and I love the look. Much cleaner IMO. I would throw in a nice rear Netz badge and/or a black Toy logo to finish the look.
