I ordered the Tom's carbon fiber hood and just found out that they place a Lexus emblem on the front of the hood. I'm just getting peoples opinions on what I should do. Keep the stock emblem on the grille.....go with the new emblem and remove the grille emblem or just go badgeless.
Here is hood from L-Tuneds website

Thanks for the input

 

WOW someone's got money...if you still have the emblem in the grill it would be kinda redundant to have both...actually either case i would go badgeless

 

Sorry, my bad......the first suggestion should state badgeless hood with stock grille emblem.

 

me myself, i will go badgeless. if anything, having the badge on the hood is a nono for me

and man, congrats!

 

Wow nice hood...I'd also recommend taking the badge off the hood.

Thanks for the input.....I didnt like the idea of the badge on the hood as well but I was concerned about any preset indentations that Tom's may have made for the emblem. I'm not sure about how you work with carbon fiber. I will try to post a photo when I get it (second week of Feb). The car will be going to SRT on Feb 12th for a procharger set up which I'm pretty excited about.

 

WOW procharger!! that means supercharged right? lol

I think thats number TWO on the F/I list for SC430's on CL.

Tell us more, tell us more!

 

actually i think it's number three

 

man now that's the real deal, awesome!

yeah i think ih ave seen two supercharged sc?

 

looks funny on the hood

 

I'm lucky enough to have Swift Racing Technology down the road from me. I've heard about their work thru this forum and various import magazines. I approached them about a centrifigual supercharger setup and they suggested the procharger for its reliability and its superior lubrication. So thats about it......I'd like them to reinforce short block for nitrous use but I havent discussed it with them yet. Some of the items on order- Wald wheels S13 Streifen, Custom fit Pro-Fit linear fuel door, Tein CS. Rotora big brake kit to be mounted and some custom bodywork will be done. Thats about it.

 

Ditch the badge ... ditch the hood.

 

that's a lot of major plans head man, congrats
