Default Crown Emblems for LS400

Hi I am new to the Lexus game and this is my first post. I was wondering if putting crown emblems on a 91 LS400 would look stupid. Wondering if anyone has done before or if it is even possible. I just love crown when i saw it in Japan. Dont wanna look like a tool or douche bag lol

Why? You must be from Waterbury. Just kiddin'. Personally not for me, but hey, it's your car. It's all about the style you want your car to fit into.

Love crowns, I have a few sets of emblems as well but never got around to putting anything on.. Honestly i think the front crown emblem is proportionally too big for the LS grill..

yes it would look ridiculous since the crown and the LS/Celsior are TOTALLY DIFFERENT CARS.

you may as well go and put camry or estima or ferrari badges on it.

Those emblems would not be my suggestion, the LS400 doesn't have an identity crisis. The Crown tough nice and also VIP is a different level car. This would be similar to putting E series emblems on your S series Mercedes.

There is this owner:

If you go for the Crown, don't forget the little chrome vent gongs for the side of the front fender...

If I saw an LS with crown emblems id probably laugh and think the owner doesnt know the difference between a celsior and crown. But, whatever floats your boat...

Man, you Californians do some crazy **** to your cars. Why?? I guess eveyone is different, but the good thing is some people have different tastes so they stand out.

It's known as the "Zombie Crown". MS65 toyota crown (RHD) that the owner found out here, missing a fair few parts I heard so rather than spend a bajillion $$$ importing old jdm parts the owner did his own thing

you mean kitted cars running a wald emblem...?


or perhaps junction produce


again, they only work on kitted cars, because they're aftermarket emblems for those companies.
