Default Oversized Lexus "L" Badge???
Has anyone seen or put an oversized Lexus "L" Badge on a gs300 rear trunk lid? Factory dims are

3.5" Wide and 2.5" Tall

The big daddy badge is
4 3/4 " Wide and 3.5" Tall

I am thinking this could work on certain set ups and figured someone must have done this...

Thanks

I think it looks good only without the rest of the badges. But with the LEXUS/GSXXX scripts, I think it would look tacky. Lexus is now placing the scripts on the lower portions of the trunk. The larger emblem looks good that way

I would love to see just the larger 3GS stock silver "L" emblem in the rear without anything else.

I agree, it takes away from the sleekness of the car, I think the normal one is plenty

Yea mine had to go, it's all u would focus on after you parked the car, it was irritating and it was as big as the inner tails .. So happy I went back to a normal chrome emblem, but hey you never know til u try.. I have a whole different look in the back now, resprayed black trunk, red inner led tails, new outer Led tails, and a chrome trunk bar, so happy I went that route....
