I've always liked the look of the emblems on European cars (particularly Audi) and decided to put some on my LS. Just a simple "V8" on both fenders and one on the trunk lid. Font of the emblem is nearly identical to the ones on other Toyota products.

Many of you will think it's too much or out of place. I get it. I like it and so far comments from friends and coworkers is positive. Many people think our cars are six bangers.

 

Interesting idea... I actually don't mind it (or think it's out of place); this particular choice strikes me as a bit too big for the LS, though, especially for the fender. The Audi version would fit better, I think.

Then again, I may see it in person and feel differently; perhaps a side shot from a distance will give a better sense of proportion?

If you like it then who cares what I think. You do and that my friend is all that counts.

I like it! It's subtle yet stylish. I know Audi does on their cars that have V8s and it looks nice.

 

I like it. I also would like to see a further away shot to judge the size. The idea is solid.

 

WHAT? You idiot! Are you crazy?!



Just kidding. I actually like it. Very tastefully done.

 

What about DI DOHC VCT V8?

 

Here ya go

 

Yup, still looks tasteful, another

 

Love it. I just ordered 3 from Amazon. Lets see a picture of the trunk lid. This ain't no Camry.

 

Trunk:

 

I wouldn't flame you for it. I like the uninterrupted expanse of the cool, yet understated lines on the car, but that's just me. The badges aren't obtrusive and all that matters is how you feel about them.

ETA: This was written before I saw the rear badge, LOL. Perhaps just keep the side badges.

 

Badges are way too big, especially on the rear (it's the biggest emblem on the rear), not my thing.

 

My 2.5 cents: Subtle yet almost OEM-like on the sides, and I fully approve. Not so much on the rear primarily because of it's size in relation to the other emblems.

 

I personally really like the side emblems, and as others have stated, appear nearly OEM.
Its the rear emblem that stands out, but only (to me) because of the girth of the "V8".
I think if you were able to obtain a "leaner" emblem, it'd work perfectly.
Great idea though, and I find it funny that many people are surprised when they find out that an LS is a V8!
