Okay so forgive me for not knowing this but I was wondering what the proper badging is for my car if I want to take off all the silly Lexus and SC300 badges.

Currently I took off the "L" on the front bumper (leaving 3 holes), took off the "sc300" on the top center of the rear bumper (leaving holes again) and have yet to take off the "Lexus" on the left side of the trunk and the "L" in the center...

Can someone please help me with this one as far as placement and such for the Toyota badging and Soarer and Griffin.

Thanks!

You can get the Soarer/Griffin Emblems from Luxury Mods:

Yeah I have seen where Ic an get them on Luxury Mods...thank you

Also thanks for the shots of the car. Now I just gotta hope and pray that when I pull off my "L" and "Lexus" on the trunk that it isn't drilled through like my bumpers....

Thanks again!

They're the same size as the Lexus badging.

Then what would be the best way to swap the Lexus "L" out for the Toyota?

To my knowledge, the best way is to weld the holes closed and paint. Then use double sided 3M foam tape to stick the Soarer badges on.

Others have just stuck the badges on, obscuring as much of the holes as they can, and used a black plastic plug to cover the remaining holes, either painted to match, or left black.

You could leave the 'L' and just add the Soarer script to the right hand side of the 'L' I guess.

I've always thought the Australian practice of swapping the Soarer/Toyota badges for Lexus ones was a bit pointless, but to each their own I suppose.

Totally agree Lawrence. Apparently in the US they do the opposite, so maybe its a grass is greener thing.

I like the lexus badge way more for some reason. the toyota/griffin badges just looks tacky on a nice car.
