"I'll stop now"

yes, yes...... please do until you figure out how to shrink pictures! (lol)
(earth to photobucket resize function....over?)

thanks for the pics though, i was unaware that the exact
same vehicle as the Lexus GX470 was being sold elsewhere
as just a plain old Toyota.

however i still would not consider removing Lexus emblems
and replacing them with Toyota (can you say nails on a chalkboard?...lol)
because I am in the US and in reality Toyota and Lexus are not the exact
same in the US. I have been to Toyota dealers and I have been to Sewell
Lexus in Dallas......LOL......it's not even close!

All Lexus vehicles may be a Toyota but all Toyotas can't be a Lexus.

Again 2EachHisOwn.....and hey it's a cheap way to be different and get attention!.

I don't "upload" them, I link to the source. I just copyiny the link from the orig picture source and paste it into the "insert picture" command as an http address. Works great.

Sorry they are so big -- they're native size. I don't have any control over it because I'm not hosting them.

i do admit that there are very few of us who want to make our cars into toyota's; after all that seems silly doesn't it? it's just a certain way of looking at things; for me i like the JDM style, i like the cars in japan that we never even got in this country, so i want to emulate that.
it all started back in the mid 90's in the sport compact scene when people with acura integra's would remove the acura badges and put the honda badges on them since that's how they were sold in japan back then, as honda integra's. even the NSX was sold as a honda, with honda badging.

Default LOL, So many Badge Snobs Here, No Offense to anyone.

LOL, So many Badge Snobs Here, No Offense to anyone. Heres the deal, Lexus GX470 is a Toyota that has been tastefully modified at lexus. (Period) Look under the hood/the undercarriage/ the chasIs all the mechanical parts say TOYOTA!!!!!!!!! The Paint / Leather/ Wood Trim / etc are LEXUS Tuned. Lexus DID NOT BUILD this car. TOYOTA DID. LEXUS only put the MAKEUP on if ya know what i mean!

Look at it this way: Its a Toyota L-Tuned (Lexus tuned) .......next.......

To me the TOYOTA EMBLEM LOOKS BETTER VISUALLY.... YES, TO ME THE LEXUS EMBLEM LOOKS....MEH ... BIT SIMPLE BIT BORING. BUT THATS JUST ME. TO ME TOYOTA AND LEXUS ARE THE SAME THING, AND IM NOT ASHAMED OF PUTTING A TOYOTA EMBLEM ON MY CAR. (NOT A SNOB) (JUST WANT TO BE DIFFERENT FROM THE REST) I GOT THIS CAR TO GO OFFROAD IN AND I LIKE THE LUXURY FEATURES!

TO THE PEOPLE THAT SAY WHAT I DID IS WRONG, WELL I THINK PUTTING 22" RIMS IS WRONG ESPECIALLY ON A VEHICLE THAT IS DESIGNED TO GO OFFROAD. BUY A CADI AND PIMP IT OUT. AGAIN NO OFFENSE, THIS IS JUST MY OPINION. AND NO I CAN'T PLACE THE TOYOTA EMBLEM TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT. THE TAILGATE DOOR HAS AN INDENTATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DOOR FOR THE EMBLEM.

AND IM NOT DEBADGING MY CAR. IM WAITING FOR MY PRADO EMBLEM TO ARRIVE! GX470 ORIGINATED FROM TOYOTA PRADO! DO RESEARCH IF YOU DON'T BELEIVE ME.

"Badge snobs" huh, who is the one changing out his badge, that's funny... I think Landcruiser has a forum where you might find more support. Don't ask if you do not want to hear the opinions of CLUB LEXUS members whom the majority disagree with your choice and certainly do not get critical because we do not agree, YOU ASKED. AND please, enough with the agenda to convince us that we are NOT driving a LEXUS GX470. We do not live in Europe, we live in the United States and here it is called a Lexus GX470. In addition, there are distinct styling differences which is why you are going through all of the trouble of changing out body parts, tail lights etc, so call it a day already. Enjoy your Lexus GX 470, Toyota Prado or whatever you choose to call your truck.
