It's funny...all the people in Japan want the Lexus badge on their Toyotas, and people here want a Toyota badge on their Lexus'...lol. I'm sure you can find someone overseas thats willing to trade you Just make sure that they're an honest trader first so you don't end up with a car with no badges at all

Here is what mine looks like. I had this JDM black pearl grill with toyota emblem on my car for about 3 years now. I also have the rear toyota and aristo emblem. I get the usual, why would you do that to your lexus, but this is how I wanted to build my car. And I don't care what anyone says. I wanted to make my car different and still subtle and I think I did that. I got my grill from a guy in japan off of ebay 3 year ago. But its really hard to find it on ebay now.

Unfortunately, the only place that I know to get it now is:

http://www.lextasy.com/aristo_trd_gr..._1404_prd1.htm

I agree with most people here and am not a big fan of lextasy and would probably stay away from them, but it looks like they do sell it. This emblem is a direct swap for the stock lexus one. Good luck with your search.

good job Tommy. nothing wrong with Toyota badging. This car is sold in Japan under the Toyota brand, it's not like we're slapping on Mercedes badges.

Also, not all JDM Aristos are 2JZ-GTE equipped.

There's nothing wrong with this. I went badgeless on the back of my RX300 and am looking for the Harrier emblem for the front. However, for my center caps...years ago I replaced them with ones from the last generation Camry.

what's funny is some people think its "degrading" to put a toyota badge on their car...it IS a Toyota. Its your car, do what you want and don't listen to these other guys.

Perhaps you don't know what "RICE" stands for. don't believe rebadging to its origin is any "RACING Inspired Cosmetic Enhancement". and trust me I used to own a 93 Prelude that was nicely modded.
