First, Thank you for the contest, but I do have to admit. Who ever came up with that T-shirt design, does not know their audience. I can't see anyone driving a Lexus wearing it. You would have a much better response with a Tanabe logo'd Polo Shirt that your Sales Reps wear on calls.

AGREE X infinity
Personally I would fired the person who okay the T-shirt design... It is very insulting and sad to see a comany would abandon its culture, to gain some market share...
Besides from that, this is the cheapest comany I have ever seen !!! Wanted us to do the work for them and the only reward is a Freaking T-shirt, a T-shirt inwhich symbolized in betrayal to its culture!!!
Probably T-shirt would equal the right of ownership of that photo (always read the fineprint)...
Just from this I will not make any purchase with "Tanabe" on it, from now on!!!![No No No](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/nono.gif)

I do not want to school you on how to manage your brand, but this T-Shirt is so not Tanabe. This looks like a West Coast Customs/Jesse James/OCC/look-at-me-I'm-a-badass-american wanabee with the Celtic cross, the snake and the skull, Tanabe on the other hand is anchored in the JDM culture, where absolutely none of theses design elements ever appeared. You are not going to gain any market share by rejecting your origins and pretending to be who you are not, please stay true to who you are and where you are coming from, this is the only way to grow...

I still want a Tanabe exhaust!
If Tanabe ran a contest for the most creative pic of a GS with Tanabe exhaust, what would the winner(s) do with the extra exhaust? Then people would be pst because they have to buy an additional GS!![Smilie](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Dear Tanabe,
If I had the exhaust I would take the pic and post, why not!? Nice to see some marketing at the enthusiast (grassroot) level.
For the record, I wouldn't necessarily hit the town in the shirt, but it is an ok gesture.
