Default What would you name the in house Lexus Tuner???

Ok you have the power to name an in house Lexus Tuner for our beloved Lexus cars what would name it??

Moderators keep this here for a couple days then move it to the Lobby for me.. THANKS!

Here is what we have on the books:

L-Tuned
L-Type
TRD
TOMS
Can't use SRT since Dodge is using that name

Out of those my preference has to be L-Tuned but let me hear what you all think!

From the list above I pick Toms.
But I think we as clublexus can come up with a cooler name, LOL.

Yeah I would agree with Tom's being the closest thing Lexus has to an in house tuner.

I would take the TOM'S staff and bring them inhouse (along with TRD)...like what Mercedes did with AMG...as for the actual name...

Hmmm...dunno...I think I like "Vertex Edition" like Globe said. Since in Japan, the Vertex Edition is THE one to get...V300 baby!

TRD to people who don't know looks like TURD.

TOM'S to people who don't know would be like us driving around with a badge that said JOE'S on it...outside of our world, it's stupid.

L-Tuned...just weak...L-Type...the whole "TYPE" this is PLAYYYYEEED OUUUTTTT...Jesus....Type-R, Type-S, S-Type, Typewriter, Type-Blah...

Question Aristo Vertex V300 on U.S. shores?

ROFLMAO But seriously even though it is used in Japan to describe one of their current model cars ( like GS400) I am starting to think that the best name so far would be Vertex Edition. BTW has anyone ever actually imported one into the U.S.? If people can import skylines I don't see why they can't import V300's. I know a few people have done conversions ( I forget who) but I mean a real 97+ J-Spec Aristo Vertex V300 in the states.
