Default My V8 Emblem
Sorry, ran a search but can't find one. I know TeeLex has it on his car, but can someone show me where to put the V8 emblem on the rear and where to put it on the fenders? Thanks!

i'd keep it off, its always fun to scare the ricers who never knew the 2GS came with a GS; and surprisngly, a lot of people don't know they came with a V8.

I plan on adding a set to my car soon. Since i have silver GS it will not be too obvious. i just think something else is needed on the sides/fenders.

Thanks guys! I just debadged my 430, took off L, Lexus, and GS430, and put the V8 emblem on the left bottom borner and put them on both fenders. Looks a lot cleaner I must say. Just make sure you get goo gone because without it, you won't have enough skin on your fingers to peel that thing off.
I'll take some picture when I get a chance.

Here is what my GS looked like with the V8 badging. I believe this was one of the last pictures I took before the new owner picked her up She sure was pretty
