i vote badgeless, the grill gives it a nice accent. If you really want to use the Griffin, why not put it somewhere on your dash?

i agree with AWSyndrome

but that does look quite good, either what you did or shaved, then keep the emblems on the back there for sure so people know you're riding clean with a lexus :-)

griffen is hideous on the nose IMHO though, good choice on your part, althought putting it on your dash would not be a bad idea by any means...

yeah NY sucks

But good looks on keeping that Lexus up front and hitting me with that Griffin Z

It looks great, but unfortunately it left one hole uncovered

If I would have put it on incorrectly (completely horizontal) then it would have covered all three holes, but placed correctly at the angle left one hole or more uncovered. I placed it at the angle that left only the one hole by the left foot uncovered. Oh well, I'll just fill it in with touch up paint lol.

Default SC400 Front Emblem Removed

I replaced my front bumper cover over the weekend
and chose to proceed without the gold L emblem.
I requested that the body shop fill the 3
emblem pinholes in my new bumper cover
and the end result is flawless.

I hope my photo helps other SC owners when
making a decision whether or not to retain the
emblem during a bumper upgrade.
