Default Debadging the 00-01 tail lights

Is the ES300 logo indented into the lens like on the 2ES or is it just pasted onto it? I have way too many badges on the rear and I want to make it look unique from all the other ES's.

I would like to remove the ES300 on the right tail light and also get rid of that Prestige Dealer tag. I prefer the symmetrical look of the earlier model years.

Here is a picture for reference.

I was thinking of debadging everything on the back apart from the lexus logo.
It'll look a lot better without the dealer and taillight es300.
just make sure that you polish it well so you can't see the outline after it is gone

wow u have "es300" twice..lol..ya i think they are "glued on". if you search the forum lot of members have debaged them in a DIY fashion.
As for me i think you should just have the "L" and "es300" and remove the rest.
My next project would be to do exactly that.

I also vote to de-badge everything except for the Lexus emblem. It looks much cleaner.

Here is the how-to: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/es3...g-project.html

Ditto. I had a white 97 and removed it all except the center badge. Looked great.

For some reason I'm not digging the "L"-only look. It looks too plain on the ES.
