you know, I was wanting to do the same. I believe that there are hole. On my old '95 LS400, I had holes on all the emblems. I debadged it all and removed the LExus and the LS400 and had a body shop fill in the holes and respray the trunk lid.
I'm gonna say that if there are indeed holes in the trunk, that the JDM ariso badge will line up with these holes, as I doubt they would make two different trunk lids with different holes...but who knows!

no.... don't do it tommy, it's very gay indeed....... there is NO aristo in japan anymore, the gs is.... gs in japan.... seriously it's no difference from putting civic on the car, coz' there is no such car.
there is a reason why my aristo and celsior badges are in my drawers as collector's items now

Guess I'm too late, everyone beat me to it. yeah, the GS is no longer called Toyota Aristo in Japan. But what about debadging to remove the GS350? My 2GS didn't have holes on any emblems, but don't know about the 3GS. I don't think it does.

never knew why someone would want to take the lexus badge off and put toyota emblems on the car. thats like buying a porsche and putting volkswagen emblems on. or even buying a jaguar and putn ford emblems on.everybody know lexus is made by toyota. so y pay 50k for a car for someone to think its a new toyota. i could see if u had a camry and wanted people to think that it was a es350 bit not the other way. guess thats something i would never understand.

if its not about who make the car why change the emblems, why not just take them off completely, so it has to be about who makes the car bc u wouldnt take lexus of an replace the badges with toyotas, think about it u will have toyota emblems on the outside and lexus on steering wheel, thats way to tacky for me. not like the toyota badges are going to make the car perform any better.

i do understand the jdm market, i have seen plenty of toyota aristo's. i know that 911 dont have vw emblems anywhere in the world, ok lets use the 3.5RL which is the honda legend. why would u spend 50k on a 3.5 Rl to make people thinks its a Honda legend, or better yet the 80k nsx and take the acura emblems off and put honda emblems. thats the reason why they marketed the cars the way they do in the 1st place, americans dont want to pay 50k for a honda or toyota,

STE: if you read carefully, i was asking about the "GS 350" badge and not the "LEXUS" badge.
