Is this allowed on my leased car. I want to debage the RX 330 part...

 

you probably have to put it back . my 330 is leased also..........

 

Just a quick question - Why?

 

better question why not? i think cars without the badges look cleaner. i would get rid of mine but then i would have to put it back when i return the car

 

I debadged mine within 1 week of ownership. I do own mine so it was no problem. The only emblem you can't remove is the center Lexus symbol as there are guide pins behind them and it is indented as well. The rest are just held on by double stick tape. You can debadge yours just as long as you put it back on later when you return the car.

 

double stick tape? not glue? hmm time to get out the fishing line......

 

So far I have debadge a couple of different year and brand of cars from Acura, BMW, Lexus, and Honda. None of them have used glue and all were double stick tape. I'm not sure anyone actually glues the emblems on.

 

I don't understand the question about debaging "my leased RX."

If it's a leased car, it's not yours.

 

well technically if you finance a car, until you pay the lender off completely you dont own the car either.

 

Well, "technically," that is not correct.

If you finance a car, you do own it, but it is subject to a "security interest," or lien, in favor of the lender. The car is titled in your name, but you have pledged the car as collateral, and in the event of a default the lender has the right to take possession (but not title) to the car, have it sold, and take those proceeds necessary to pay off the balance of the loan. The owner gets anything left over from the sale price.

It's very much the same thing as a mortgage, which is a lien on real estate. You still own the parcel and the structures on it, but the lender has a lien secured by an interest in the real estate. If you default, the lender has the right to "foreclose" and have the property sold; the sale proceeds are used first to pay off the loan. If there is not enough cash from the sale to pay off the entire balance, you still owe the lender the rest (called a deficiency).

If you lease a house or apartment or if you lease a car, the title to the property (land or vehicle) remains with the landlord or leasing company. When your lease term is up, you have to vacate the premises or give the car back because it is not yours, unless you purchase it at that time.

Well, you asked for technical.

 

anyways fck it, take the badges off and put them back before you return the car. im probably going to do that over the weekend to mine.

 

Badges we don't need no skinking badges.

Back in the 1950's to 60's before I was old enough to drive the hot rod guys did it and called it nosed and decked. Be prepaired to pay Lexus a lot of money if you muck up the car when you take off or put the badges on.

 

The badges are really easy to remove. Unless you stick a screwdriver behind it and pry it off there shouldn't be any reason why you would mess up the paint. Its just held on by double stick tape so you can pull it off. Now, it is the industrial strength type so you might need that fishing line to cut through the tape, but other than that is is a piece of cake.

 

i use fishing line and a hair dryer to soften it up.
