Here's what you do: take the "Lexus" and "GS 400" emblems off, leaving the Lexus logo affixed in the center. Now, if that isn't enough get yourself a personalized license plate that says "SLEEPY". Then let any sucka try you. Muuhuhuhuhuhuhhahahahahaha.

If it was me, I'd have nothing flashy. Just tack an "S" onto the end of of GS400. Have the S be the same exact font. Heck, you could even use anothe GS emblem as your template -- cut the G of and just add on the "S" w/ some 2way 3m adhesive tape. Leave all the rice for the hondas. Leave the broadcasting to the ones w/ insane HP figures -- V12KLR only belongs on a 2JZ-GTE 600HP+ w/ a 6sp Getrag. (I suppose you could have it too if you were running a 2JZ-GE w/ a toyomoto kit @ 600 HP 
)

If you can get the chrome "supercharged" emblem from the 88 MR-2, really tiny and put it below the GS400, that would look factory. (No, not the huge KOMPRESSOR).
License plates that'll go with it:
BLOWNV8
LOVEPSI
PSILUVR
SC4GS4

well now we see that most people think it's rice to put "supercharged" on the car..... except for some others.
It's really up to you. But if you don't like to be a wolf in a sheep's skin and has to yell that your car is fast, then get a Supra or something

Rice!?!?
You DO have a SC and a little "supercharged" badge is NO way near rice. Rice would mean putting stickers on your lex, wings that don't belong, exhaust that don't fit the bumpers, neon lights that make you look "cool", led lights that flash yet are not connected to the alarm system, hood lights, etc. The only "rice" part in this that someone may see is that all the rustang boys use this particular "supercharged" badge. Other than that you have every right to take pride in your SC kit becasue we all know you will spank most of the "racer wannabees" out there. I personally think that a SC badge would be sweet to see on a GS4 and if I saw you on the freeway, I would definitely give you a thumbs up. Take care.

i think a certain degree of badging and stickering is ok...
i dont find it rice when i see small stickers down a front door of the companies the car has... thats if its an S15 Silvia from JAPAN.. if i see it on a civic with a ractive exhaust and altezza lights i puke!
what imsaying is if your car is RICE (which yours is not) then dont put it on... but ur car is good so i have no problem with a bit of badging.
I like the idea of a licence plate that means ur fast, just most people wont understand!
like JZS 161
well if thas ur plate.. ur obviously turbo'd but most people wouldn't be hte wiser...
2JZ-GTE is a bit to easy.. most know

i agree..... how would putting a supercharger emblem on a car be RICE?
many rice cars rnt even supercharged and dont even have superchared emblems..... most emblems are like TYPE S TYPE R turbo inside ... rice inside... boost inside
etc....

I've always liked the "sleeper" concept of cars. I think blowin' them away will make much more of a statment than any add on emblem. Keep it "stealth." my 2 sense (sniff sniff)

As for me I wouldn't put a supercharger emblem on my car, people just have to listen to the car and they can tell that theirs something under the hood.
When I first got the SC it was a sleeper, now because this is the only one in Hawaii, its hard to be a sleeper...
Stay with the clean look...

Hmmm....I'm going to put a little "TOM'S" emblem on my car (REALLY little...the same one that Steve had on his Supra...did you see it? Exactly...) only because I support TOM'S. Most people won't even know WTF that is...
Dunno about the "supercharger" sticker though...when I get my GS430 Supercharged, I'm thinking about putting a GS300 emblem on it...
Why overly advertise? Feeling insecure?
