Yeah, it doesn't take much to confuse some people. Where is that "V8" emblem from? For me, I'd probably put an old Dodge Daytona "Turbo I4" emblem on instead... ha ha.

One guy who was familiar with the Celsior had asked me if it was a JDM Celsior that I exported over and being stupid I told him "yeah, but I had to modify the interior to be US spec. because it was getting too hard to pay tolls"... and he believe it. NICE !!!

those emblems (v8) are actually benz style or font if you will, but in japan there are a wide range of vehicles that come from the factory with various emblems and symbols in that same c-pillar location. the infamous wald cf43 celsior has the v8 emblems in the same location so you might could say i got the idea from there, you might could also say that i'm just following fashion from the vip japanese sedans...
