shaved some stuff off of my car
I decided to get rid of the rear Lexus emblems on the trunk, and also shave my roof antennae on my 06.
I think it drastically changes the look of the car.

I have the Ebay emblemless grill, so keeping the L was a moot point in my opinion.
It would have been easier to keep the L because it is "frenched" in to the trunk slightly so the whole circle needed to be welded.
Thanks i love it.
as far as price, i have a friend who is a body man, i only had to pay for paint. Also custom work seems to be priced different depending on where you live. on the LS430 behind the logos there are holes. and since i had him shave the roof antennae also i had to take the headliner out, so every grey part of the headliner got dropped off at The Interior Shop to be changed to black. Black suede headliner, pillars etc...

Recovering Lexus Addict
On a black car, I would consider replacing the chrome emblems trim with black - possibly flat to get the contrast. As for the roof antenna, it's personal preference since it's only decoration now.
As for going emblem-less, the previous owner of my Subaru Outback had shaved the rear hatch. When I traded the car in at a Toyota-Subaru dealer (the original selling dealer) the used car manager had heartburn with it. Maybe it was just a ploy to attempt to lower the trade-in price, but I had already told them what number I had to have in order to buy a car that day, so they didn't yank my chain too hard.
