i don't have everything, i love clean emblem less look myself, i don't need to advertise to others that i did a inspire conversion. i have only the honda symbol at the rear and non of the inspire lettering or trim model. people who know will know.

i whether receive props from a small amount of people that knows than a large amount of small potatoes who don't know

no one ever ask me why i "downgrade", but there were times people ask me did i import my car into US or where i bought the car from

Just Leave the L on the back... I never understood any of the fascination with changing brand names even if within the Family. I think and Aristo is an Aristo and a GS is a GS... Keep em that way!

Keep also in Mind if you are kinda disappointed ... its your car but i know how others ideas influence but remember over all from what i see in your motor and your car

you could do the toyota .. jus finish all the badges and it'll look great

if you did..... over all i think it would be inspiring for others to follow if they wanted to ..... kinda hard in your shoes cuz so many look up to your car...

for mee i will keep the L because took me awhile to afford a L so i wanna show that off maybe if i had your motor them i might aswell but you have WAY more mods than me
