Although I'm not quite sure what they'd do with a NZ plate
I can't see you having much luck round here, as most of us are true to Toyota. Don's Lexus'd up, but last I heard he was changing back when the mood took him. The only other person would be Mike Beck.......but he was undecided on the whole badge issue, and his car is up for sale at the right price.
I think your best chance would be to throw it up on TM and hope some random muppet with too much money wants it.

Lots of Soarers in Auckland have been badged as Lexus, usually using nasty looking non-oem badges, and often on cars covered in dents with paint thats hasn't seen a polishing rag since the car left Japan. Most of the time the drivers pass by without giving my car a second glace, so you know the car means nothing to them.
Don Bagnall Moderator New Zealand I have WAY less Soarers than Hayden :-(

Yep, got all the NEW genuine badges now (including the "4.0GT" ones for the front guards).
For the "Soarer", "4.0GT" (x 2) & Toyota boot badge all up incl.GST was $213(NZD), could have probably got em all 2nd.hand, but I like NEW, SHINY bits.
Now all I gotta do is install the lil critters!
And I'm donating my old Gold Lexus badges to Bruce in Orkland.

Funny, I took my front and side badges off while it was at the panelbeaters. Maybe i'm going through a minimalist phase, but looking at the car while queuing to pay for petrol today, i still think the front looks better without the badge or the license plate on the front.
