JTanoyo1 : I broke that stupid dental floss SO many times!!! And it got so d*mn tight that I thought I was gonna lose a finger!! Buit whenever the glue would get hard, I would just heat it up again with a hairdryer.

Has anyone removed all three emblems? Doesn't it look a little plain?
ya i left the "L" and took everything elase off, looks much cleaner that way, but also my spoiler has a cut insert 4 where the "L" goes i needed 2 keep it anyway but i prefer it that way...

Here's a pic of my rear. The shop had to take off all 3 badges and then put the wing on. Then put the "L" back on to get it centered right.

That's nice! SandRock, are there more photos of your GS in the Gallery? Reason I'm asking is BlueLex and LXOGOOD are two of my absolute favorite rides and I want to see what that wing looks like on your car from different angles.

SandRock, those are preetty nice rims! What are they? 19s or 20s?



Also, I was looking at different Wood Packages but I only want of few pieces. The ashtray and Gear column in the center console. Know if it is possible to just buy a few pieces?

Well, what I removed was the "V300" badge, the "Toyota" emblem and the "Aristo" badge. I stood quite a bit aways to look at the **** of the car and realized it looked a little empty without any marking, so I proceeded to install the "Lexus", "GS300" and the logo. Now I am just like any other American, yay!

Default aristo emblem

HI,
I wanted someone's opinion on aristo emblem. I have a 00 GS4 and I want to put the aristo emblem on the back, but I don't what would look better and or how to arrange it. What old emblem should I remove and replace with the aristo? Or I should not all?

Follow the method as shown in the attached pic: Remove the 'LEXUS' and 'GS400' emblems, and place the 'ARISTO' badge where the 'GS400' emblem was located
