Kenny, we need to hang out more. That garage is awsome. Looks more like the garage of my play station grand turismo game. Or a dream I had........

I wonder how well they would stand up to car washes and such.

If you take that beautiful car of yours to a car wash, we cannot be friends. It's just that the mere mention of car washes worries me.

I imagine that the adhesive used on these badges is pretty standard, and historically, it has held up pretty well.

I had the same thought of putting the V10 emblems from Audi R8 on the fenders of my old V10 M5, but I didn't because I didn't want to draw unnecessary attention. Sometimes, less is more that's why most guys debadged the emblems.

I think it looks good. I put V8 emblems from the Toyota 4Runner on my LS430 for the same reason. If I had an LS460 I would put the V8 badges on it. Preferably from a 4Runner or GX470.

👍🏻 I like how the V8 looks on the fender.

Late in the thread here, but ... I'm generally NOT liking stuff like this, but I'm kind of liking it. Because our vehicles are so quiet, I doubt 2% of the people who even care about cares even realizes our LS's are V8s. The only thing I would say is the rear V8 emblem, while OK, would be perfect if it were the same height as the LS 460 emblem. Then the whole thing would be perfect! But, it's pretty darn close as it is ... IMHO.

P.S. - I think this might be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

That's the point. Who cares if they know it's a V8? You know. That's all that matters. That's part of its understated elegance.

He bought the 85 911turbo a while back for 13k. It's worth 175k now. The Lamborghini Diablo 2 years ago for 70k worth 160k today. The Ferrari for 50k worth about 60k today. They all get driven. His daily driver is a 2008 911 turbo along with a turbo stick forester. His wife drives a Cayanne. He owns a chain of pot shops.
