Default Emblems Removed (the right way)

Before and after of the Lexus and GS350 emblems removed. I had the badges removed then the 4 holes filled with a plastic flexible filler then primed and re-painted.

Looks like a clean job. I also had this done a couple of months ago.

Are you going to reapply the GS350, or stay completely debadged?

Looks too plain to me, like something's missing... I would go wit the black matte badges.. It would look real good on that colors!!!

It does look plain now but I love that clean look. The little things matter, even though deleting those holes is expensive and far from little to do the right way.

Yep! did the same thing but I wanted them removed and new ones were $100 so I spent the $100 on getting it re-painted
