Yes, its nothing compared to some of your "look at what came in today" $4000 rims or $3500 body kits. But it is unique


Not from Japan, but still


Oh yes my friends, it is geniune!




Now. I was planning to do my 2JZ-GTE VVT-i swap from the Aristo V300 next summer....then this badge would be legitimate. Maybe I need to move up the date to I can put this badge on my car sooner. Or maybe if I put it on now just for the hell of it. It might be a bit ricer style though. Having a badge but not the GTE to back it up
What do you guys think?

Im thinking about putting it right under the GS300 badge on the back. Thats mainly because I only have one badge
If I had another badge...I would put it on the front fenders right behind the wheel.


Note: this is an old picture from the first week I had the car Not with the current mods

Haha, I'll just tell whoever asks....."it is what's to come in the following months"

It's not as if anyone will actually know what Vertex Edition means. Most people might just think its a special edition GS (ex: sportdesign)...thats if they even notice it at all. I bet 99% of the people on the streets that will know what it is will be from this forum

If you are putting on the badge BECAUSE you are doing the swap, then just wait. If the swap plans fall through, then no harm done.

If you are putting on the badge because you like it regardless of the swap, then just put it on.

I personally would wait, but then again, it is not my car.

that would be kinda hard to tell if someone did though. I wonder if I've seen a switch and not even known. hmm

I agree with Neo

lets just hope they dont think it's your name

I was chatting with my friend while warming up my car. Some guy walked up, looked around my car and said he has a GS300 also.

Then he asked,
"Is that your name on the back?"
-No, Aristo is not my name.
