Question Brainstorm: Emblem Exchange Program

Alright, I had a little brain storm, I posted it before, but it proab. got lost somewhere.

USA SC owners like the Toyota Soarer emblems.
Aussie, UK, and Japan Toyota Soarer owners sometimes like the Lexus symbols.

Why not setup and exchange program? We ship them our Lexus emblems, and they ship us their soarer emblems.

Problem: What if they just take the emblems and run?
Solution: We'd set it up through a 3rd party who has their credit card # so that if one end shafts the other side, you can just buy new emblems for free.

Problem: What if they or I don't want to give all the emblems?
Solution: Just find some like new condition ones off a junked SC & ship those off, along with the ones off your car you don't want.

People in japan would have a wicked easy time getting us soarer parts, and eventually we could really make club lexus and diverse and multi-national lexus club. How cool would it be to have the hook-ups @ a proformance shop in Japan? I'll let your minds wander....


just a thought here --
-- shoot it down if you like, or if you like the idea, say so.

I'll be looking for some stuff this weekend.
My friend, [I bought the soarer off of him] owns a dealership out here so I'll check with him.

Wow, if you can get brand new OEM Soarer, soarer griffin, and GT badges, you'll be my personal hero!

What do you guys think of the 'Soarer' wording on the right corner of the trunk, 'SC400' in the middle, and 'Lexus' on the left? OR should I just make it a just plain 'Lexus' and 'Soarer'? 'Lexus SC400 Soarer' sounds more like a special edition type. Kind of like Saleen Mustang, Gembella Porsche, Lingenfelter Corvette, Brabus Benz, etc.

i like the idea of it on the upper right hand side. i'm down to trade or do some shopping down here for emblems. i would like some more parts for the sc400 too!

just as in another thread, i would like the soarer radio harness, even if it doesn't work. i could still use it. i'm pretty sure it is the same.
