You mean to get rid of the names/emblems?

Word of warning: there are holes behind those names/emblems...

i was thinking of doing the same but if there are holes then its not worth it. are we sure that all of them have holes?? usually its just the MFG's emblem and the others (type) are with 3m tape that you can take off??? i did this with all of my previous cars....maybe lexus is different?

I hate debadging. Just me. I think you should be proud of what you drive, and everybody should be reminded that you have a Lexus. Period.

Who said that we werent proud of what we drove? For aesthetic reasons, theres a lot of people that just want to remove the "Lexus" and "ISx50" emblem The big "L" emblem is still there so where does it come to play that de-badging the car shows shame? Theirs still sign of the car being a Lexus.
