dont do it because it will leave holes. generally i think it looks cleaner but not if it leaves holes on the trunk lid.

Question debadge question...sorry if its a repost

sorry if this is a repost but i tried searching and found no threads dedicated to this and alot of threads with the words debadge and badge in them.

I would like to take off the lexus and is350 badges and simply leave the L on the back of the car. i know from my experience with my old is300 that the lexus and is 300 badges did not have screws holding them in but i am not sure about the badges on my is350. can anyone shed any light on this issue for me?

thanks in advance!

The above link should answer all your questions. But yes, there are holes that in my opinion, will need to be filled if you are going to debadge.
