Is keeping just FSport an option? Or just removing AWD

The GS by itself looks weird because it's off center from that panel.

I did the second option , only f sport and gs left. The awdGS350 is too long of a name for me)) left the gs so people know what the car is called and it looks pretty clean.

I would never buy a used car that was debadged...just my 2 cents. I want people to know I'm driving a GS. You might as well rip out the passenger front seat so it looks like you have lots of room in there

I would hope the badges are easy to replace if you are selling it. But yea, you can usually spot some cars that have been rear-ended a mile away from the sloppy badge placement.

If I were u, I would just remove the AWD badge and that's it. I agree the AWD makes it a bit too long.

Painted? Dipped? What did you do with the rest of the chrome (windows, front grille)?

All the badges I did with plasti dip but not the regular one from Home Depot, I got a can of Black Sapphire which I got from Dip Your Car. All the chrome trim in including the piece above the plate I went with Avery Dennison Supreme Wrap in Gloss Black Metallic which is a 95% match to the color of the grill and lower bumper inserts on the 2016+ GS. The b pillars and rear valance were also wrapped so everything was the same color.
