I originally wanted to Do this until I found out that's not what our cars are called in Japan. So I don't think it's a good idea.

The 1st gen IS300 was really a rebadged Toyota Altezza in Japan. Our IS is a real Lexus in Japan and everywhere else. So it won't make sense.

Ahh who cares...... If you do it, do it right and replace the Lexus L with the Toyota emblem too. I think if it's done tastefully then anything can be nice.
