Default SC400 Front Emblem Removed

I took that photo just after driving through the rain and you are viewing water beads on the hood. I'll take a better photo another time. For now, here is another photo of the front end (from the same night).

I voted for the Griffin emblem. I mainly like the chrome one with the gold wings for the SC430s. Otherwise I'd just leave it emblemless.

run em naked, make em guess. Somebody on this forum once said "a person who knows what a Lexus is will recognize it, a person who knows what a turbo sounds like, will recognize it", probably not a verbatim quote but its close.

I think it depends on the style. VIP go L or none, sporty go with Food Lion.

Actually, you were talking about red griffin blending in with a red car. I got one shipped from a Toyota dealership and its a red griffin with a white outline on it, probably would blend in less.
