Default RX300 vs 300RX? Ha ha

OK, so I recently saw a Lexus RX300 chilling in the parking lot at my work. It looked pretty normal until I noticed the RX300 emblem on the back. The owner had switched the RX and the 300 so it now read "300 RX". I'm guessing the owner did it to make it more sporty sounding, like 350z or g35x. In my opinion, it's kind of dumb but is this something that's common?

I've never seen that. But, the auto body shop made an error on my RX300 and mistakenly put on a "RX330" label on the back. So, I have an RX330-labeled RX300.

I've seen a lot of people mistake the RX300 for the RX330.

I'm sorry, but the 330 looks nothing like the 300. I think the 330 can be mistaken for a 2nd-gen 350, though...

I saw it the other day on the expressway by the airport here in Miami, not sure what the person was thinking.

I've seen lots of rx300 with the "rx" and the end.... I think the bodyshop mistake and not the owner.
