Pay a visit to the last page of "4LS Rollcall thread" and you can find the German one with "LS460" debadged.

taking out "lexus" and "ls460" is ok, not hard to do.

the L emblem, that's tough, coz' there is the circle imprint

hmmm just took a look at the German one you were talking about...it still has the LEXUS badge on there and to me idk it doesnt really do much for me... maybe the angle or the color of the car...

rominl, so you are saying that the LEXUS and LS460 badges dont have the holes supporting them like i see on the 3rd GEN GS have? but the L badge has that whole that you would need to fill in??

i have debadged all my other cars, but for some reason i don't want to do this on my LS. Maybe down the road. But good ol teflon dental floss, some goo gone adhesive remover (if required) and a nice little wax up in those areas afterward all you need.

I have usually found that people remove emblems because they dot want people to know they bought the lesser version of the car they are driving. Its a top notch Lexus sedan and I have nothing to hide.
