Default Lexus to Toyota Emblems

What are your thoughts on going from Lexus emblems to Toyota emblems front and rear? Instead of the Soarer winged Lion emblem have a Toyota emblem in the front. Is it a bit too much? Keep the Lexus emblems?

I like Ford emblems myself, but if the sky is the limit I say go with some Bugatti.

Well, when people see or hear "Lexus", thoughts of financial stability come up. You have money or something. The beauty of it, the SC use to be a $60k or what have you and now is super affordable today. But no one cares about that fact, still a Lexus. That said, I just prefer the L on the rear. Even though as of right now I have no emblems on the rear but have the griffin on my hood. Do not want the Toyota emblem but I am a Toyota/ Lexus person.

And for craps and spits, I saw this today in the parking lot of a junkyard...

Pontiac logos on the trunk lid, the hood and even on the horn pad of the steering wheel, the Pontiac BONNEVILLE nameplate on the trunk lid, the Cadillac CTS-V "V" logos on the trunk lid and sides and Pontiac wheels.... on what? LMAO

Well....it is a Toyota :duh: but with the wheel on the other side? NO! Jk man. Even I've thought of doing it. I say do it. Would you tell a Toyota Soarer owner to NOT put a Lexus emblem on his ride? They're the exact same car. Plus every part that makes the whole of your Lexus, says Toyota on it.

It's like putting GMC on a Chevy
Or Ford on a Lincoln.
Or Acura on a Honda.

and all of those vice versa.

That's my jam! I don't even like Bugattis but it sounds cool.

I would put Mercedes emblems on it and call the SC a SL75 AMG Pink Edition

Not sure why people go out of their way to make their car look less of what it is. I would personally go with the Soarer griffin and no badges in the rear since it'd be a cleaner look imo.

I've done the Toyota and Soarer badges, and I prefer the Lexus ones in the rear with no emblem up front. I put some magnet material on my old badges and put them on my fridge
