Default IS250 emblem replacement idea.

An idea came across my head awhile ago as I was accelerating on a slight hilly ramp onto a freeway. Wouldn't it be cool if we could remove "50" from the "IS250" on the rear trunk and add a "SLOW" emblem so it reads "IS2SLOW" same font and color as the stock emblems so it looks subtle.

By the way I was driving downtown the other day and some dude yelled out "HEY IS THAT AN IS-F?!" FML.

Cool? I disagree haha. I enjoy the fact the general public thinks my car is a rocket, I'll hold the 204-horse secret to myself.

i think i would do it if someone else did it first and it looked good. I think it would add character to the car, and im not trying to hide anything :P ppl think my car is fast by looks, but i tell them straight up that its slow as hell lol

I'm not sure why that would be cool. Maybe if someone did it on an IS-F, for sleeper status.
