I hope you got your Lexus at a Toyota price to have that badge on. Anyways you could do away with the horns, looks too childish

Unless you're a Texas Longhorn I wouldn't do it... But if you are then it looks great!

How about a sticker on the side or rear window instead of an emblem. To each his own. Its your car, do what you like.

Good way to get yourself hated by everyone here real quick!

And as for the EMBLEM, its makes the car look cheap. If you would like can direct you to the nearest Autozone for the rest of the ghetto fabulous collection of crap.

What you don't get is that THE LEXUS IS350 is a LEXUS IS350 in japan as well. You putting that toyota badge on the car is like me putting a Volvo badge on a Range Rover cause it shares the memory seat function on the side of the front seats. Make zero sense. We aren't driving a Toyota, We drive a Lexus whose parent company is Toyota, and yes many parts are shared, but the IS model has no counterpart.

Guys keep the personal comments out of this thread. You don't have to like the emblem, but say so politely and maturely please.

OP, because someone prefers Lexus badge over Toyota doesn't mean they think they are superior and the note above applies to you as well. It's a simply a preference regardless of rationale and as a reminder you asked for their opinion.

Do what makes you happy.

I think "Camry" when I see the badge, but then the horns throw me off and I get confused.

I guess it makes sense in some ways.

You're from Chicago, the emblem looks like a bull! But other than that, eh. Maybe make the car more aggressive and lower the emblem so it's centered vertically.
