De-badged my 470 today. Lexus, GX 470 , and V8 symbols all were removed. I like it because it looks cleaner (I too think cars are cluttered with badges) and it makes it much easier to clean and wax the rear tailgate.

Took pictures and measurements first, so just re-apply a little double-sided sticky tape, and I am back to stock.

As much as I hate to revive and old thread, does anyone have any pics of their GX460 without the rear Lexux/GX460 emblems?

First thing I did when I got my GX was to take the badges off.

Clean looking. I still need to black out the bumper reflectors.

I removed the GX emblem. much cleaner look and easier to wash. I left the Lexus logo.




word to wise, wash car first. low heat if using heat gun and very short periods keeping heat gun a distance from paint. use the fishing line method. take your time.

Sorry to thread jack but what size and brand tires are you running? Lifted or stock height?

I had the gate repainted and the shop was going to charge me for new emblems, told them no and put the original ones in a bag for me. Installed the and decided to leave the GX460 off, enough going on with my rear anyway.
Many transitions for my GX.
