Hey guys, the GS is currently stripped an being painted, all badges removed and such. I dont want to put any of the OEM badging on, what recommendations you guys have to be different? I've got a JP Body Kit, Kazz Grille for exterior mods. Should I just leave it completely clear of badging? I would think the rear might be plain with nothing on it.. anyways, some ideas would be nice, thanks

 

you have the Jp option ... or if going Vip styled you have ebay to get the Vip badge ? I will be doing that


what other parts are you adding on the car ... and that you have the most of ?


I have more Jp but wont badge the car that unless I had the kit , Just my thoughts

 

imho, better leave it debadged

 

I had that concept for a long time BUT ... when I was new I had the gs400 and I wanted people not to mistake it ... but its all what ever now , cleaner look but would need a chrome trunk bar IMO

 

it all depends on what makes you happy when you look at your car..

 

Trunk bar was ordered yesturday... and as for "CLEAN" look and keeping it debadged... yea, I like that and I really was only thinking maybe 1 up front and 1 at rear. I like to keep people guessing on what my cars are, and I figured some Junction Produce badging would make them guess even more! but as BippuPxr stated, if I dont have a bunch of J.P. product.... I might as well be a Civic owner with D16 engine under the hood with Type SIR on the trunk! LoL.


How much J.P. product would be needed before its "ok" to represent J.P. with badging? and not be a liar?!

 

In my opinion, unless you're sponsored and/or a racecar, stickers and badges are 100% ricer. Don't rely on cheap advertisements for decoration.

 

debadge it. nice and clean

 

I agree with this somewhat but if, if you have the JP body kit, JP trunk and roof spoiler, and the JP grill then I think you should get the JP trunk emblem.

 

Well I dont consider it cheap advertisement when the dog on things cost $100+ ... but with that comment, that can go for ANY badging... I guess I'll just do what feels right... I'll buy them all and put them all over the place! go all or go broke!! LoL... J/K

 

Whats cool about that, is that I can see it 100% debadged BEFORE anything! (one of the benefits of starting from scratch.. )

 

I love mine debadged (black/black), like you said you are starting from scratch so live with it for a while and if you still feel the need for an emblem then do it.

 

Debadge everything. It looks way cleaner.

 

I see a pattern here! I'm just a little concerned with it being TOO plain on the trunk (I could be wrong) I do have the chrome bar, so may be it will be enough.

 

debadge it except for the Lexus L, which I think would look pretty clean by itself, balancing the lack of badgeness on the left and right sides, and would also tie into the chrome trunk bar well so that it doesn't look COMPLETELY lost on your rear end.

and if you have chrome tips on your mufflers, even better things need to be balanced, hence why a chrome grille between chrome housing headlights on a dark colored car will always look good, but a blacked out grille on a black car with chrome housing headlights looks lost, almost like the car got it's teeth knocked out. follow me?
