Just a few days ago my L emblems got jacked! So I was wondering if I should bother buying new ones, or go for the clean look, rip off all the emblems and fill the holes. Right now my car is bone stock, its drk green SC400. Any opinions? Thanks.

Default mine are shaved off...

if you look in the gallery...the pearl white SC is mine
i had all my emblems shaved off when i got the car....
it looks much nicer and cleaner...hence my name "ACleanSC4"

just make sure if you shave them off...have an experienced shop do the work

post up pix if you have it done

Default yep

yeah, when they shaved them...they just did a little blending with pearl white paint over those areas.

Very nice job done, I love it!
It looks different when next to other SC's.
It's definately a head turner b/c they look all over the car for an emblem

Hey AcleanSC4 your SC looks freekin tight like that.It really looks ghostly without the emblems,also because your ride is white.

Default thanks for the compliments

I got all my stuff from David @ GtAutoSports before he vanished from the world

I believe the Cusco bar was from a 92-93 Supra TT not sure...so you can order it from other places

The clear corners took a good 2 or 3 months to get from Japan, but were worth it. I love EM!! No one has them in my area and all the other SC drivers JOCK EM!!

Default edogg...i don't think it'll work

Hey Edogg,

I think the engine platform in the SC & LS are different. There's a guy here in CL by the name of "LS400in520" or something like that, his name is also Tony and he has a strut bar on his ride. Ask him and he'll tell you what to get.
