i attempted to debadge my IS250 back in november. i removed the "I", clean up the glue off the trunk. moved on to the "S" and that's where i realized there was a hole behind the "S". i did not completely remove the "S" so i was able to re-attach the "S" without a problem.
so for a while, i was riding around in my "S250" until i found some double sided emblem tape.

Keep it on...you paid for it!

this has descended into the realm of the utterly ridiculous.

I'm thinking of debadging the Lexus in the back, no need for a L and a Lexus, if you don't know what the L is you don't need to obviously. And remove the L in the front which requires more than just debadge but a new grill. Maybe get a new grill then relocate the IS250 to the front grill on the bottom driver side.

RE badging
I have the black pearl rear badges and clear front bra going on at the dealer tomorrow, so will take pics this weekend. Car is SGM IS 250 AWD. I believe this is the best compromise in minimizing the cluttered appearance of all of the chrome, without worrying about solving the issue of exposes post holes. Will know for sure tomorrow afternoon!
