Default what would you guys do ?

I added the Wald body kit to my Ls 460 and the dealer called today to say it is almost done, they asked if I wanted the lexus emblem taken off and replaced with the Wald emblem that came with the kit.
( same font and size as the lexus emblem )

I'm not sure what to do so I told them to leave the lexus on and I would let them know. so what do you guys think ?

I'd probably leave the Lexus logo in place.

not mine for sure, ordered mine 2 months after my kits came

body kits
http://www.wald.co.jp/parts_acce/carrange/index.html

click through and you see under price list the emblem isn't even included

emblem, separate item on separate page
http://www.wald.co.jp/parts_acce/emblem/index.html

fwiw, even the side skirt chrome fins are separate orders

Would nix the Wald emblem, most people would think its a dealers name and not from a specialty kit.

That's only an East coast thing

Us Californians don't have that so we know it's not the dealer thing.
Otherwise we'd request to have it taken off prior to purchase.

+1 for putting the WALD emblem on the left side.
