get them off with real thin fishing wire, or tooth floss which i used. but my paint was damaged anyway so i had to put them back on till i had the spoiler removed and boot repainted properly.

people tell me to put the L back on but i like it clean.

I kinda like them on, but wouldn't mind remove the LEXUS logo though. Just leave the L and GS430 or which ever GS you have....

i think leave only the L...looks cleaner just like all the BMWs and Mercedes unless its a S65 or an AMG haha
Do you guys ever notice that some Mercs/BMWs have the S430 for example and some dont have anything but the badge? The drivers are old so i dont think they would debadgge the car. Maybe its an option from dealers? would like to figue that out
