I say skip the taillight tint on a white car. Go with a set of upgraded LED tails or 01+ OEMs. Is the BMWish shark fin antenna functional?

About ALL the emblems....


Short opinion: Too much.

Long opinion: The engine stuff does not matter to me since no one, except maybe your mechanic if you are not a DIY guy, will see it. The emblem on the inside looks way out of place especially with all that wood trim next to it.

Your car looks great and real clean on the outside except for the plate frame. The big "L" in the middle of your trunk makes it clear, to all people who don't already know, that it is a Lexus. Two more emblems and the word "Lexus" on the frame is redundant and defeats the clean look that de-badging creates. Go with a plain chrome plate frame - they look super clean.

NICE GS, just agree with everyone else about the badging on the strut. You don't need it. I would be afraid of the TRD badging coming off the car and falling into the engine and getting stuck. causing a problem

You guys are right...I need to take some off. For the Shark Fin it doesnt work but I think it looks nice for a sedan like our....and I will change the license frame soon.

hey the "L" on the steering wheel is not that perfect fit on it I have to use some kind of glue to stick it on there and kinda use alittle force to hold it there for it dry....but it came out really good thou as you can see it from the pix. I bought it from our members here.
