If your ES actually has it, then put one on the engine and no where else. You have no idea how ricer it looks if you slap one anywhere else (and I mean this in a bad way).

I personally would not do it, but if you like it go for it.

I wouldn't do it because it clutters up your car, looks tacked on. It's not like VVT-I is a fusion rocket booster or anything and as others have mentioned it comes standard on most recent Toyotas including the Toyota Corolla.

I pulled up alongside a Pontiac Grand Am yesterday and the driver had a little blue sticker above the name of the car on the side that said 'Racing' I guess to match his APC muffler setup... Try to consider the ultimate goal for yourself and your car... do you want to compete with the "Racing Grand Am" ?

Honestly... dont mean to bring you down or nothing, because it might be your thing to put stickers on your car. But I agree with DaveGS4, personally i wouldnt do that, in reality people are most likely just going to have negative comments about it because truthfully not too many people care that you have a vvti engine. If you truly want to make your car unique then slap some wheels on it or chnage your suspension... give it a more aggresive stance.

I say do what you like its your car. But you probably will get flamed on by some. Mainly in the forum.
Majority vote would be Don't do it...

So my question is: are additional badges like this Honda-style mods?

I put on a 'V6' emblem off a Camry on the right side of the decklid and a '5 speed' badge off my old 77 Celica. Its just left of the "ES 300" logo on the taillight. It dosent looked hacked. Im not gonna go any crazier than that.
