I was trying to find some pics of LS's with shaved trunk emblems, I am wondering to leave the L in the middle and taking off the Lexus and LS430 off.

Anyone?

I know, I am planing on rolling my fenders and expecting to have to paint quarters, might as well shaved the emblems and maybe some other things...

Just wondering how does it look

I'm doing at my bodyshop, welding the wholes, refinishing and repainting the trunk cant be more them $550 - $650. MAKE SURE that the person doing it just doesn’t splatter some bondo and send it because it will crack after hitting the trunk closed a few times, the holes have to be welded carefully for strength.

I am planning some more suddle mods, lets see how it goes... will send pics w/ more progress...

Repainting a complete trunk with good quality paint that will actually match the car, welding the wholes shut, smoothing out, papering the whole vehicle, polishing the piece and backing up your service for any deffects for $550 sounds honest.

We quoted a 07 IS black to remove logos for $300 since it was a non metalic color and only the half under the light would be painted and the customer took it somewhere else well we ended up redoing the job and the customer paid the $200 the other guy paid PLUS our price. Sometimes cheaper is not better.

Racinstyle I have stared at your wheels for hours and have decided that those are sickest 5 spoke wheels I have seen!!!

I just bought some paint and I'm going to get creative this weekend ... been looking online getting some inspiration and I got it.

I just noticed that the chrome trim on my rear bumber is faded gray ... is that part sold seperate?
