Well with my GS, i did debadge it but didnt like it because too much open space on the rear, so I just put back on a new "L" emblem but with the carbon fiber backing, which I think would look hott on a silver car like yours and the "GS300" from the 06 model years, which is a little bigger than the previous "GS300" emblems.

Left out the actual "LEXUS" emblem, didnt feel like I needed it and I actually like it without it on the rear

They probably don't care, either.

It's not an image thing for me. In Orange County, driving a Lexus
is like driving a Chevy in Detroit. Nothing to brag about.
i would do a complete debadge but i can't find a way to debadge the front...and it would bug me to have a badge on the front but not on the rear... I replaced mine with black pearl emblems but most people still only look at my car only b/c of the image it's tied in with lexus. Which is a positive thing but I wish people would see my car and not the brand.

Debadge it, leaving only the middle "L". Then get a nice chromed out LEXUS plate from Sewell and a chrome trunk bar! That's what I'm workin'!

I think it looks pretty good.....but you can also try paint your badge to like a black pearl color or something because that would look sick. That is what I am going to do with my 3GS

It would clean if you just leave the "L", but debadge everything else. Either that, or simply leave everything alone.
