well the forum once again produces a good result! i took the RX300 and the LEXUS badges off the back i like it alot better, you guys were right it does look cleaner, but i must say it wasnt easy, took a little over an hour, no solvents would take the goo off, i had to use the thumbs and peel it off, but it was worth it

Thumbs and forefingers.... I wish it would've been that mild - I ended up with em on all but my pinky fingers - I told you that auto body place must've used some strong a$$ ***** to put those emblems on... didn't hurt the paint at all though!

Alright, seriously now...

I don't have a digital camera, but I'm working on borrowing one as I've been wanting to take a few pics of my RX to post... However, this is gonna have to wait until I get my new grill installed, get my clear markers installed, and until I have a chance to WASH and WAX. But then I'll be sure to post some pics of it - included the debadged rear end.

So in other words, by next year I should have some pics posted

Nice disco - very classy. it's a little different look with the old school tailights, but I like it. you know, those old style tailights are growing on me! Very nice, especially w/ the pearl white paint!
Love that debadged look - love it.

Disco-freak looks nice, but now it sits really plain... You need to do something back there now... Like a chrome trunk bar... Yeah, I think that'll make it look awhole lot better... Or chrome accents around the lights.. Maybe both...

Badges?...We don' need no stinking badges!

Chrome Hatchback Handlebar? Well, that's different.

A la Photoshop

That looks nice Daddy-O... can you post a pic without the chrome bar for comparisons sake too? That way we can really see which one looks better - I don't know if you need the chrome bar as much with the altezza tails, but I think it'd be a real nice enhancement w/ the old style... a little more dressy, but still clean?
