true for the minority here in new york(this car is fairly common out here- a clean one is a rare find)but, for the majority here the question would be..is that a 300 or 400? it would be assumed that it was a 300 w/o an emblem.
don't get me wrong tho'- i wouldn't keep emblems on the car for that reason..i love the way the rear looks with emblems..if done right. Initially i bought that soarer tag because i liked the way it looked in the spot it filled in the rear,and to represent what this car is in japan-(everyone here asks me what a soarer is when they see it)..however, a cleaner look might be in order(a call for change)...different color seems to be the way to go with the "soarer"emblem.
i think no emblems is a nice touch,just not my style... too sporty.

you may want to do all the suspension work, before the car gets painted, so no accidents happen, etc.

Damn man, a Lincoln??!!! That is just wrong.

Like Deron said, a lot of guys in NY will think you are "frontin" if you take the badges off! Heck, these idiots think I'm lying because I have no wing!!!

I hate dealing with them, so the badges take care of that! Its like a answer guide to idiots!! LOL

I went to go pick up a rear caliper for my car yesterday and one of the dudes at the shop asked me if the SC was built on the Avalon or Solara base!?!

I said fool, the SC was built before either of these cars!! I explained how some parts are interchangeable between the Supra and SC. It's surprising what some people think.

another option, remove the L replace it with a toyota logo, and make it a true soarer! That will look unique!
