Silliness.

A base model Soarer is what the SC equals which is crap compared to the Active and the TT so..... I'm thinking I don't wanna advertise my car as a base model Soarer.

Well give me reasons guys just intrested for me the lexus badge does it for me. It represnts to me luxury as to a soarer badge that shows more of the Jdm stlye and shows more of a Japan sense to American im not saying a lexus shows it more american just a way of saying like ill keep it that way and not try to make it a soarer if its not

I do believe there have been a couple threads on this topic already, one IIRC was locked cause its a complete and utter waste of time..

its your car do what you want, either way sooner or later someone is going to criticize something about it cause it will not fit their taste, but in the end, its still your car.

for example, I think badging your car as something it is not is just silly and borderline "RICE" and should not be done..BUT, if you have converted an SC 100% to be a soarer (rhd, 1jz, and whatever else goes with it) then go for it..if not, then leave it alone, or go with no emblems...

or worst case scenario, if you really want to badge a car as something it isnt, go by a HF CRX and slap a Type-R sticker on it, and while your at it, take your fruit-of-the-loom undies and write Calvin Klein on then somewhere.

I respect what you said and well I never started this thread to help me decide what I want. Your right it is my car and we do what we want with our cars you may think puting an emblem is riced well good thats your opinion. It was just a simple topic to talk about but if the are threads about this already can you link me to them please thanks I would like to see what others had to say.

Putting a Soarer emblem on a Lexus SC is a downgrade and just plain silly.

Very well said. If it were my car I would just leave it alone or better yet put a Type R after the lexus. That would be tight J/K lol. I would leave it

Mazda badge.

Kidding.

Why does it matter? It's the same shape vehicle. If you do decide to go down a particular route though you have to go through with it completely (imo)... so at least the exterior badges and steering wheel... I'd even get new keys made up as well but again it's personal preference.

Saying that, who wants to swap Lexus airbag for Soarer airbag units?

The chicks know what the Lexus logo looks like. Not so much for the griffin.
