Yea, that looks pretty horrible. MAYBE if there wasn't an emblem on the grill it wouldn't be AS bad.

Not saying that I like it but it seems redundant to have both the hood ornament and the L in the grille.

I do understand that it was just put there for pic purposes. Although I would not personally do it, if you really want to do it, I think it would be better if there was a different grille that had no L. The grille would also have to be more "VIP" (like the JP) vs a sporty one (like the TRD). Hood emblem and sporty don't go together, IMO.

Kinda like the ABFlug sticker you had on your windshield for the longest time? LOL

Man if you can get into team transport w/a stock GS, imagine what I can do with my car. Now that would be something!
