Default Opinions on blue hybrid L badges

Okay, my goal body-wise is kind of an extreme OEM+ look. Like if someone not into cars looked at it, it could pass as just a stock car that has been lowered. I don't want it to look riced out or garish.



I was considering the blue hybrid L badges for a few reasons:
-I think they look cool and "newer"
-All my dash lights/button indicators are now blue with pure white
-also have blue LEDs in the inner door handles (sounds super ricey but it's legit)
-Considering dark blue PB BBK with big Lexus decals down the line (same product as Futura BBK without the $1000 logos)

I would do it with one of these mesh open grilles (name escapes me atm)


Car is silver, full JP kit

Concerns
-Not sure whether to do grille carbon or silver (have some small carbon pieces and full black housing retrofits)
-I am worried it may look out of place on the trunk, due to the black background and not being contained on a recess/mound like on the newer cars
-Front one may look too large vertically in our small grille (would use smallest badge available)

So what do you think of the blue L badge idea? would they look out of place? Criticism/suggestions welcomed since I am not sure about this idea.

Not much of a fan, personally. Hybrid badges belong on hybrid cars.

I agree ^^ I wouldn't want anyone to think my GS is a hybrid, plus it kind of looks out of place.
