Looks good i was gonna remove my center L but decided to keep that one so we're almost twins

P.S. now you should get the grill with no emblem for the front and you'll really be smooth!!!

hey so philly... i'm hopefully about to sell my gs and by next week be in an 05 UL LS430 but when i debadged my gs it didn't have anything to fill in, it was just like the emblems were all just glued on. i am guessing this is not the case with the ls?? i was going to debadge that motha sucka tha first minute i get home in it and was not aware that i would have to do any body work on it. if you did have to do body work what did you do exactly cuz i'll be doing it (hopefully) next week??

also i was not a fan of the 100% chrome-a-fied back trunk bar until i saw it on yours. now i need to re-examine if it is becuase of you cars color or the debadged ness. i thought on other cars i had seen that it was just way to gaudy and just too much chrome shininess, but it looks classy on yours... u think its cuz of the debadged-ness or the color of the car??

good job man, looks pimp. now you just need to take down the USMC tags from the back window and you'll be set. j/k don't get all pissed, i guess i really can't even pick sides anymore since i'm a contractor now.

Yeah there's body work...behind all of the emblems are guide holes ,they have to be welded shut and then bondo over the welds & paint
