I am replacing my Lexus badges and I want to know what I can use to remove the sticky sustance from the car without damaging the paint.

Are you just removing them or replacing them with a higher model number?

make sure to use a good quality car polish when you're done to get all of that crap off of your paint!!!

Good luck!

Question badging

Not that it matters, but yeah.. I have a gs300 and I want people to think I have a gs430. Think anyone will want to check under the hood to make sure I am running on 8 cylinders and not 6???? Come on bro, be serious. I am badging it an Aristo v300. Or do you think that is not cool either?

If you are reffering to me, then I dont care at all. I think it's cool to remove the badging and replace it with something else. There are people on this forum however who think it's rice because ricers do that. So I was just asking a legit question.

i got a feeling the bug and tar remover is best. and then you gotta work on making sure your black paint isnt sunburnt where the letters used to cover.

Thumbs up Badging

It's all good bro. I thought you were taking a cheap shot.... I am sure there are those that feel that having a gs3 is not enogh and want people to think they are driving 400's or even 430's. Why I have no idea, but whatever works right? And I guess if you change the grille, the wheels, the tail lights, HID's, the badging, and ummm, did I forget anything? Hahaha, sorry, I was being sarcastic.... I have put on my ARISTO V300 badging and it loooks sweet. Getting some looks now.

Lightbulb Badging

I mean... the OG Lexus GS is the Aristo... So I don't think that changing badging to Aristo is rice. Now if I changed to 400 or 430 badging.... well, I would consider that not only rice but foolish as well.... My .02.
