Really?? It looks like the holes were filled up. Probably cuz its black. Not that lucky with Tungsten pearl though.

I guess you could do that. Although the "IS" is being sold as an "IS" and not an Altezza in Japan.

I can get these tiny plugs that you can paint to cover the holes. They just snap in if the hole size is right.

Crazy! Why did Lexus make everything have to be drilled? Badges... Spoilers... sheesh. Should have used industrial strength adhesive instead.

I am telling you guys this once.

There is no more Altezza. Its fine to switch badges on the 1IS, as there is an equivilent Altezza.

The Altezza is no more. To put Altezza badges on a 2IS would make no sense, since there is no MORE ALTEZZA.

Thank you

Why drill holes and use pegs on some of your vehicles and not others?
I am not sure why they did this. On the 1SC, 92-00, the cars does use pegs like the IS. The 2GS, uses adhesive.

There must be a benefit either cost wise or quality wise and they cannot make up their flaming minds.
