YO!
I know there are holes unlike the first IS but which badge has a hole? is it just the "L" that has a hole or also the LEXUS and ISX50?


thanks
-speed-

 

the ISX50 got holes. dont know about the lexus.

 

De-badge means you are switching the IS250 badge to the IS350 badge? If that so, I guess people can't even tell, huh?

 

dont' assume.. some people might just likle the cleaner look~ 250 owners are not posers nor are they ashamed for not getting the 350

 

no they take off all badging, lexus emblem and ISX50 emblems so the back is clean

 

I'm planning on taking all the emblems off the rear, thus DE-Badging, not re-badging

Why advertise?

 

You plan on doing this there are two holes that will need to be filled in. I believe the holes are behind the lexus and the is350 not the 'L" Emblem.

 

the only reason im asking this is becuase i dont want to spend time taking the badges off to have holes in my car(it looks tacky), and i have very little time to get the holes filled in at a body shop.

and no im not putting a 350 badge on, and im not ashamed of having a 250....

 

I like my badges.

 

Debadging is for aesthetics not for shame, but I would not do it if you ever wanna resell..

 

Maybe it's just me, but it's just hard for me to understand why someone would debadge their new Lexus. C'mon now, after paying big bucks to own a Lexus, why do that? It's like buying a Ralph Lauren shirt and taking out the stitches on the polo player logo. In my opinion, at least a couple thousand dollars of the MSRP went to pay for those logos. Keep it on...you paid for it!

 

That would make too much sense. Some people will do anything to be "different."

I just don't see any point in removing something that doesn't look bad in the first place. Plus I'd rather them see the 350

 

yeah I am not knocking the IS250 owners at all ... but how much you want to bet that a lot more IS250's will debadge than IS350's?

All I know is that when you see European cars like 3-series, C-class, etc... it's the guys in the 325s and the C220's who debadge. With few exceptions, the M3s and AMGs keep their badges on.

 

I saw a Corolla de-badged the other day. My bet is that he's trying to pass for an IS!

 

OK... too weird. If you didn't want "badges" you can certainly get rid of them. Kind of like a divorce. But why get married?
