Default If you want to debage the rear...

Here are pics of what you would need to do.

I am going to keep the L logo only and I had mine custom painted black. You have options to your taste. I will post pics once I get the stuff from my buddy this week and post back.

Whats funny is earlier Lexus had the badges with holes, then they went to stick ones and now back to badges with holes. Somehow it much be more cost effective?

When the logo is new, it comes taped to a thin piece of cardboard on the outside of the letters spaced evenly, and holds them there until the back is peeled off and put on the car. Two of the letters have the pins that line up with those holes. Peel the covering off the adhesive, align to the holes, then pull the cardboard and voila, evenly spaces model emblem.

How do I know, I RE-badged my GS300 after purchased without the emblems. Some like the emblems, and some do not.

just bondo and touch up.

I think it would be cooler to leave the lexus letters, and add an Fsport emblem.

i can't believe they don't sell them?

it saves workers 30 seconds each car.

that translates into 500,000 cars x 30 seconds x 1/3600 hrs/sec x $25/hour =

A WHOPPING $104,166 SAVED PER YEAR!!!

I think it looks good, but it does remind me of the guys back in the day with the smaller motors in their German cars who would take off the badging so people didnt know it was the model with the smaller motor.

PS. I am loving the color of your car

I got new ones to replace all of them and also had them painted. I changed my mind once I took them off to not put anything. The more I looked at the car I think it needs the L logo and I will be happy with nothing on the bottom. This was also less since that bottom piece is separate and less to paint/cover up. Gytis suggested to not do it since my car has never been painted and it made me think a little more about it. I plan to try to make it this week to get everything and hopefully install be next weekend. Its harder now with a new born and keeping up with everything

I really dont think it would be worth it to reuse the old ones IMO. Better to just spend the few $$ and get a new set.
