Default Rice or not? Putting on "SUPERCHARGED" emblem

Do you think it is too ricey to put a SUPERCHARGED emblem on a supercharged Lexus? Was thinking about it.

Not necessarily ricey, but definitely cheesy. At least get a custom one made up that uses the Lexus font.

RICE-

IMO, Anytime *YOU* have to "remind" somebody that your car is different, it's IMO RICE. Now, say you took your car to Brabus or Lsportline and they put their logos on as part of the kit, that's not rice.

Any homemade or aftermarket emblem or logo, RICE.

Talking

Better yet, don't. Superman kept his "S" under his T-shirt so as not to give it away,eg, why brag? You know what you got.......plus ambush is easier from concealment. When Mr 540i starts talking, you can give him an unpleasant surprise.

I would put one one for sure.....

You spent alot of dough on the supercharger....let people know that they better stay away, like a danger sign....get a custom one made out of vinal...like a sticker.....and put it under the GS400...so it's not super noticable but still there....

My sentiments exactly.

It's not even the correct script design.

I agree with mooretorque---Don't let anyone know that it's supercharged!!!!! You'll enjoy it more when you see the expression of their face in your rear view mirror.

how bout a personalized tag instead. somelike "forced" or "blown" or maybe "charged". i think that would be classier than a sticker or emblem. saw an s2000 today that read "9K RPM" i liked that alot
