Default 1UZFE Plate Swap

Hey guys... yet another JDM bit up for grabs.

I'm hoping this can be removed, but what I'm after is the plate on top of the V8 which has the Lexus L logo and lexus written under it.

I have the same thing with Toyota on mine

See attached pic.

Will do straight swap, all you need to pay is your postage.

Bargain hey!

Sorry for poor pic, but you get the idea

Maybe so, but down here, everyone with a 1uz has the T plate, because the at the time of production, the lexus marque didnt exist in Japan... there was no need for it, the toyotas reputation was strong enough not to need a different name for upper class models.

Not so much status... I just decided I wanted something different.

I'm sure plenty of guys over there re-bage their LS400's to Toyota Celsiors for the JDM look dont they?

This is just the reverse
