Spotted a wine red Soarer on the Canning Hwy offramp turning onto the causeway at 8:30 this morning. Had 18" chrome bling rims, and a sunroof, didn't get a proper look if TT or V8 as I was on the bus :-( I did see stupidly placed lexus badges though ('L' in the middle, "Lexus" on the spot where "Soarer" used to be, and SC400 on the bumper part between the lights) oh and i remembered the license plate too, "MH 50454" photographic memory anybody here?

Isn't the SC400 meant to be between the lights? It sounds like they've actually got it right...

OMG, no sh|t you're right! I just had a quick look at the Lexus documentary video and the badge is there between the lights! Now that is a stupid place to put it on I reckon. I prefer the spot where 'soarer' originally sits, the boot. Oh well... a little oversight. He still got the 'lexus' writing in the wrong spot though, meant to be on the other side

spotted GT Limited at Morley Coles Express going into the touchless car wash (Such a bad idea, does horrid things to paint work. I should know I work there :p) Was that silvery blue colour, girl driving. Also another Limited also at the same place parked in front next to me also the same colour.
LOL it was the same car basically except for minor things. Then on the way home. Green TT on Grand Prom aftermarket frontbar I think.

Spotted a parked Soarer on Aberdeen St in NB around lunchtime. Was black, 18" rims, and had Callum's bodykit (forgot what it's called). Oh, and there was a parking attendant writing her a ticket! May that parking attendant go to hell!!!

"manual soarers are 1 thing to come across... but fully optioned manual soarers are another... i've never seen 1. "

Spotted: LS 400 badges on a Soarer in Joondalup, tempted to pull up next to him and yell, "It's SC 400! SC!". Putting Lexus badges on it is one thing, but when you put the wrong model on...

No need to get so upset. Sometimes the car is already badged as Lexus before the current owner buys it. Not everyone has unlimited funds to spend on their cars. I for one have Lexus badges on my car and it is not by choice. Removing them at this stage will leave a stain in the paint as the glue changes the colour of the paint after prolonged contact and I do not have the funds to respray at this point in time.

If we keep this up, next thing we know - there will comments like "why are folks debadging their cars? Are the owners not proud about owning a Toyota, or Nissan," or what ever.
