Default Blue Hybrid badge for GS?

I currently own a CT200 and I really like alot the front badge with the blue in it... So I thought since the GS also has a hybrid version, it would be nice to switch the badge to a hybrid one. Tell me what you guys think of this? Would it look nice or would it totally tryhard to pull a fake hybrid image to the car?

I say - if it is not a hybrid, it's not a hybrid. Why would anyone want to fake something like that?

Maybe a different (unique) color front badge that would not imply the car is something it is not...

I think the blue logos look cool, I have it on my CT too. I think as long as u don't put the "Hybrid" emblem on the sides and add the "h" on a GS350h, ur ok.

I am a lexus fan and did not know the blue logo meant hybrid, just go for it. Its a cosmetic thing, I dont think you are faking anything.

As a GS hybrid owner, I say go for it! Who cares if you're trying to imitate the hybrid or not.. as long as it's something cosmetically pleasing to you, nobody else should matter since it is your vehicle If you really want to go ballistic, possibly get a real CT200h in the future! haha.

Btw, where are you planning to get the badges? The dealership will probably rip you off completely.

Here is one off eBay that I found for the rear if you're interested: http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-13-1...-/272007097398

Good luck and please post some pictures of how it turns out,

I say go for it. Like others have already said, do what makes you happy. The blue hybrid logo does look nice I must say.

I think installing the blue logo on a non-hybrid is fine.
