Default Emblem Change

Has anyone with an RX 330 ever replaced the rear 330 with a 350 emblem?

Why? Would be misleading, IMNSHO. Some individuals here have replaced the Lexus logos with a Harrier logos.

Doesn't harm anyone and I don't think anyone would care either way. Now if you were to put an LS, GS, GX or IS emblem on then I'd think you were nuts

Dude, I remember when the 5.0 mustang GT`s were a really hot item in the 80`s (I had three altogether). I ALWAY`S had a good laugh when some poor guy with the 2.3L 4 cyl verson went to the Ford dealer and slapped the 5.0 badge`s on the side of his car. Get my point?

It wouldn't do any harm, but then why bother. They look the same so there would be no real point. I remember seeing a Soarer (SC) with ES300 badges on it, and shook my head in disbelieve.

...been thinking about it!

That's the only thing missing in my '08 upgrade LOL! Have the rims and the handles that go with the exterior change. Wish had the 270 HP (is this the Hp for the 350?) though.

I rather do engine swap before putting on an emblem that meant nothing

Why? Why would anyone want to "cheapen" their vehicle by making it something it's not?

Well, let's take a "V8" emblem from a GX470 and tag it onto an RX! Watch out buddy, I got a V-8!! Eat my dust! LOL!

I like taking the emblems off completely. Much cleaner look IMHO.

Taking the emblems off is OK by me, don't play the poor man GT 5.0 tactics.

I agree with you; remove the emblems altogether...
