A member is selling a set of black chrome ARISTO and V300 emblems. I want to get them soooo bad 'to match my black chrome Lexus emblem on the trunk lid.

What do you guys think? Would it be off to mix the two since those emblems need to be side by side with a Toyota emblem?

Thanks in advance!

I personally don't like it. It's like seeing the G35 owners with "SKYLINE" emblems in the rear. Like wtf?!

Welcome to Japan?!

personally i say just leave it. it's still jdm leaving the lexus emblems because they use it in japan too. besides you save money not getting them too.

I didn't know they made black chrome aristo and v300 badges. Where can I get them?

what does this have to do with being VIP

Are you asking if this will look VIP? I think fitment and stance is the more important part...emblems are latter.

imho the aristo is ok, coz' they do have this car in japan (body chassis), but not the v300, coz' that's not the drivetrain setup you have. to me it's the same as putting 400 emblem on 300

not to start something , but this statement makes no sense. The term JDM is supposed to indicated products that are native of Japan from the factory as far as I know. An "L" emblem on an Aristo in Japan to me is not JDM.

That said, I think JDM (Aristo, Celsior, Soarer, etc) emblems are cool as long as they're not combined with USDM emblems.

in all honesty you can do whatever you want. people are gonna like it and dislike it regardless. im done trying to make everyone else happy with my build of a car. do what you like and what you think looks good on your car. good luck with whatever you choose.

What I find ironic is that if you wanted REAL Japan style you would leave ALL the Lexus emblems on! I went to superautobacs in Japan and guess what they we selling right next to the JP stuff...you guessed it "Lexus" emblems.

BTW don't they have Lexus in Japan for 2007?

and your point is?

starting 2007 they are all lexus in japan, but before that, they were altezza, aristo, soarer, celsior, harrier, etc...

In my personal opinion, the only badge that would fit is a Toyota badge because Lexus is Toyota is Lexus is Toyota... I wouldn't put a Celsior badge on my LS400, but that's just me... I prefer debadged cars anyways!

But do what you want, what makes you happy. It's personal style that makes cars unique!
