Default Lighted Lexus Badge

Just wondering what you guys think of this of this lighted Lexus Badge? If anything, I was thinking of tying it in as a brake light. I've seen a few of the new Camaros with something similar. What do you think?

Not my taste. Might be at home on Honda or Hyunday but I don't think on a luxury lexus sc430 . My opinion

Thanks MrBlister. Yeah, I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm not sold on it, it does sort of feel a little tasteless, but it's also something unique. They have it in blue and white too. White doesn't look as tuner heavy. I literally don't know how I feel about it, so thought I'd open it up for some public opinion.

I'm with mrblister and mandyfig, this item belongs more on a Kia than a Lexus coupe

Another ShawnOklahoma original. So got to work on something unique. Still have to install it but you get the idea. I tried to keep it classy and subtle. The cheap ebay one was for comparison and was too small to fit onto the OEM emblem base. So I went another direction using EL wire. I choose orange in the end. Comments? Thoughts? Final complete clean install pics soon. Ebay1

I like the white but orange would work as the brake light.

I like it, though the best color choice may depend on your car's color.

Blue matches the Illuminated door sills. I would think about blue, although aren't Hybrids blue.
