Default Ready to reapply badging. Any recommendations?

well, after staring at a pic of a random "pimped out" GS, I have to say, I need some badgeing on the rear of my car. Its just too plain. I was 100% debadged on the exterior including a Kazz grille, but I just put my grill back on (like it much better) and now want to redo the back. Any suggestions on what I should put? Thanks

OH YEA, I love that! Maybe I should edit my original post Yea, the purpose of debadging is to keep 'em guessing. With that Kazz grill, made people freak cause they couldnt tell if it were Lexus or MB...

I guess my new post would be, "What can I do to my trunk lid, or back side to make it not so plain?"

I think adding a 3piece would set it off and take your eyes away from the emptiness (not to mention rid of the not so great stocker) but I'm out of money I like the stock spoiler, but with the body kit, it gives it a husky kind of look instead of the stretch look.

I'd say keep it debatched and save up for JP 3 piece wing.

If you decided to add a toyota emblem you might as well go all the way and change the airbag to reflect toyota as well. But then you could have just used that money to buy the JP wing.
