Default Need Help finding a picture

Wondering if anyone has a picture of a debadged Lexus RX 2nd Gen (i.e. 330, 350). I had this idea pop up in my head for some reason the other day and I am now curious as to what it would look like. If anyone has a picture of someone having done this then that would be appreciated. I will edit one of my picture's later to get an idea, but it would be good to see an RX that has already been done.

It would be faster if you just pshop'd your own pic. I think you should just go ahead and debadge it. It will look clean. You just need some dental floss and goo gone.

Default Debadge rear lid

For those of you that have debadged, did you notice any significant color difference between the area under the badge and the surrounding area? I'm thinking of doing it on a 2007 & wondering if I'll still see the outline, or lettering of the removed badge. Also, how old was your vehicle when you did the debadging? Thanks

Some one else's experience may not match yours. Factors that make a difference are color and exposure to sun.

No discoloring with my vehicle. In the sun daily and it was de-badged about 3 years after purchase. I doubt you'll have any issues with discoloring, provided you have been maintaining the exterior finish.

Thanks, for the input. Think I'll give it a try, tomorrow. I'll take off the "350" first & see if there is any color difference. If there is, I'll just have to put it back on.
