Would you consider putting this on your car?

First impression made me think Cadillac as well. And to be honest its an old style of trying to "class" it up. Possibly on an older Lexus frim the 80s or early 90s and if both colors were the same it may look alright. Gold L and gold trim or both in chrome. Mixing looks cheap and tacky. But then again do you want a modification that the best case scenario only looks kind of okay?

I only considered putting the whole thing (gold wreath and all) on the outside of my car for a millisecond. Lol
Wanted to see if you all thought the same thing that I did after trying to picture it. My suspicions have been confirmed.

I noticed it was missing a few days after buying the car.
I figure the lady who owned it before me took it to a shop where someone removed it and took it.
Don't know how else it would come off. They are fitted on there pretty good... don't think it could just pop off on it's own.
Whatever I use as a replacement needs to be metal and needs to be secured with a heat resistant glue of some sort. It will get up over 170 degrees + on the top of that cover I think. The original emblem is held on with little nubs.
