Rear, also the exhaust trims are upgraded to GS430 ones which are half an inch wider than the standard GS300 ones (anyone want the part number let me know) , and the lights are upgraded to the latest.

Do you have anything else that's Veilside on your car other than the badge?

Only the badges are Veliside at the moment. Some bodywork may follow next year, depends. My question was how do you think it looks as it is right now with those badges on? Tacky or nicley different ect?

My first impression ........wow a special "versachi" edition GS. The pronounced "V" is a little too much for me. But if it works for you than it all good. If I were forced to change the logo, I would try and go with an Aristo emblem.

IMO.... Not my style. I'd never put just badges (especially badges that big) on my car if I didn't have a full suite of products from that mfgr on it. Even then I like it a bit more subtle.

I prefer clean and shaved also, if you know what I mean

Anyway, yeah I wouldn't put Veilside badges on my car until after I had the full Veilside body kit. Even then I doubt I'd put the badges on.

If you like it, then

Personally, I've never been fond of the Veilside badges. The only place I can see them used is if someone had the full Veilside kit and the badges would just be an accent. Even then, I'd still prefer the kit without the badges. Sorry.

As Neo said, if u like it cool but your car looks stock. I would not put the Veilside badge on until I at least got their wheels or kit.

if your car is really veilside equipped yes, otherwise i find it kinda ridiculous. it's almost like putting a bimmer badge on the lexus.

I'm sorry but I am not feeling the LVS emblem in the front.

Lexus's look the best with the (L) or no L, but aftermarket grill such as the tte would look good.
