while i agree that the car looks great. another point to consider is it may appear that because the vehicle has no badges, that the car may have been involved in an accident. maybe some body damage and the badges havent been replaced. now i know i may be stretching it a bit, but i am looking at it from another point of view. I dont know if this will stop someone else from buying your car when the time comes to sell. As i said in a previous post i think it looks sweet.

I hear you Frank,but,I am going to take my chances on that. The funny part about the badge removal is that my wife wants to do it just as much as I do. She saw a black GS300 on the road and noticed it had no badges.She thought the car looked beautiful without them. You should have heard her telling me about this car...lol. She said the car also had the GS430 rims on it.Guess what,she want those too! Shes too funny.

Hey man! I was wondering what it cost you to complete the entire emblem removal?
