Question V8 badge on GS400?

I was just at a grocery store in my town.
And I saw a GS400 with a V8 emblem on the side just behind
the front tire.

I did not think our cars came with a V8 emblem, am I wrong or did someone add it on?

My wife and I both have 1999 Gs400 and don't have V8 emblems.


Does anyone with a 1998 or 2000 have this emblem on their cars?

Did it have Axis Milano's?

If so you saw Da Shocker's car

Edit: Nvm saw you were in WA. They don't come with the car I don't think but you can buy them.

Well, if your cars don't have the V8 emblems, then you and your wife probably both have the very rare GS400 6-cylinder models. It's a 4.0 liter inline 6 borrowed from Jeep, I believe. Maybe you better check under the hood.


















J/K. Personally, I'm not feeling the badge.

V8? Weak. Go to a BMW dealership and buy a V12 emblem off a 750 or a 760

I commute to Wasington 3 times a week.. I enjoy the rain Not me, seem like there is a copy cat out there lol... I came up with the idea since I love the look of the V8 emblem on the fenders of the E55 AMG Mercedes. Here is my car with the v8 badges

Hey Chuck I thought those were to be included as part of the emblem package that you sent me. Now I am feeling ripped off.

no v8 badge needed, its why Lexus put the 400/430 emblem instead of leaving it only as a GS
