Funny thoughts
Was thinking has anyone ever downbadged an IS350 to an IS250 and then lured a 335 in to a race and make the 335 look like fool?

I'd have to guess no... most 2IS drivers arent heavy street racers, or the forum would make you assume. And I doubt many people want to drive around an "is250" when in fact they own a 350.

I've been tempted to do it, but I think the only thing I'd actually do would be a complete debadge, not a redbadge.

Pretty much what I have seen too...a de-badged 350 would fool most people because of this...front brakes will give you away, that is really all I look for when I see another 2IS on the road...

If I had a 350, I would do that just for fun.

I was tempted to do it too, but looks butt naked without the badge. I was tempted to buy and install a 1.8L badge.
Does Lexus have a 1.8L engine? LOL
Or a 1.4L

+1. I've even seen people put a 350 badge on their 250.
