If you are talking about a badge that's held on by an adhesive backing just use a hair dryer.

Don't hold the dryer in one place or you could discolor the paint, but move it back and forth until the badge gets warm and the adhesive loosens.

The badge should lift right off.

Dental floss or fishing line. Then use citrus remover to remove the excess adhesive goo. After that, use a good car wash soap and it's gone!

Does anyone know if the emblems on the back of an SC are held on with adhesive. If going to the cool no emblems look is as simple as using a hairdryer and some citrus stuff then I might go that route. Thanks.

Well, the Aristo was originally a business decision.

It had the HP, the looks, luxury and "class". It was prefect for shuttling clients around....until I found Clublexus. One thing led to another. Let's just say it's not as suitable anymore. Now I use my brother-in-laws BMW for those "proper" occasions.

But before the Aristo I looked at a BMW 5 series. Tried my brother-in-law's 528i and it just didn't feel right. No"atitude". More luxury than sport. More $$ for less.

I also looked at an E240 with AMG package. Nice looking car but not the HP I wanted. Interior was also lacking.
Had some "atitude" but nothing to back it up.

All 3 were within my set budget and the choice couldn't of been easier.

For an all out sports car, it would've been the GT-R R34, hands down. The EVO and Impreza is nice but waaay too common here.

your description on the gs, 5s and the Es are on the same line of impression when i looked at all of them.

i guess both asian and european markets aare limited to high gas(petrol) prices, so lesser engine(hp) are offered there. i grew up looking at the S280 and the 518i and 520is. and now when i see them, i think they are soooo under powered.

i really look forward to the day when the nexts gen skyline GTR arrive this side fo pacific. would it be the R35?or any of the skylines GTR R33,34s, anyone would be fine.
now those are the real sports cars-not some fixed up wanna bes.

I think Subaru has taken the first step and has/will market the turbo version Impreza in the States.
Also heard that Mitsu. will be shipping the EVO to the states also. Can't remember where I read that though.
You never know, the GT-R could be next.
