What do you guys think of my shaved trunk? I have a brand new set of sc chrome emblems, but not sure if I want to put them on. Today I had someone come up to me and ask me "hey, is that a prelude?"

I think you should at least put the round Lexus emblem.

Hairless.

It's a little too bare... Maybe a wing would help...

I agree with the Lexus center emblem. Should keep the Prelude questions at bay.

There are too many "car enthusiasts" nowadays... Prelude? Do our cars look anything like a Prelude?
I hear this alot, "Are you gonna put a turbo on it?"
No I don't have the money.
"Oh well at least put an intake and exhaust you'll gain like 50hp from just that"

Looks clean but it begs to be classified imo,
I just shaved my trunk lid and added the JDM emblems and a CF wing....
My whip doesn't look right without the wing though....

Either way, these cars still look sexy...

It does play well with Lexus' tradional clean, plain look, but this also means it is quite barren. If you do decide to add something, a round, chrome Lexus or Toyota badge centered would look good. No real point in having it clean if you're going to put a spoiler on it.

BTW, if a person mistakes an SC for a prelude, it says more about them than your car.

WHO CARES what people think? If you happy with it... that just makes whoever thinks it's a Honda look like an idiot.. not you. Why try and "impress" people with an emblem.
