The only other time I've seen a 430 with Coach Edition badges was in the featured picture of this article.

https://oppositelock.kinja.com/thoug...430-1723785292

Never knew what that badge was until now. Placement is the same as yours, so I'm more likely to believe it was a factory option. Perhaps it was only offered for one year or for the first few years of production.

EDIT: As LexRex mentioned, this is just the Sport Suspension badge. Not a Coach Edition badge.

Whoa....That's cool as hell. Thanks for sharing, I wonder how many Coach Editions were made in 2003.

Do you have any interior pictures of your car? I wonder if there are embossed Coach logos or differences in the materials used. For instance, the Coach edition LS 400s had perforated leather inserts in the seats.

Darn! Oh, well. Custom badge placement then.

Whoever put the Coach badges on really knew what they were doing. Looks factory.

I was actually thinking of purchasing the sport suspension badges because I thought they would look good with the silver trim on my silver car! I guess I should get a life! But I am considering it!
