Leave it L! I dont get why ppl want to downgrade their car to a Toyota lol. IF you had a real Soarer then I could understand. If anything, swap out the SCX00 with Soarer and leave everything else Lexus..

Leave it as it came. Swapping badges from lexus to toyota or scX00 to soarer is no different than ricers swapping their acura badges to honda and vice versa

Cool badge

Black pearl is sweet. I dont see enough of it. Putting a toy emblem degrades the car. Maybe a soarer emblem though.

hey guys, most of you by now know i'm an australian member..

my car has been badged as a lexus in japan (see how DUMB the world is?? you american lexus owners want toyota badges, the japanese toyota owners want lexus badges..)

(same goes for their nissan skyline / infitini G35 badges)

ANyWAY

my soarer is black.. and has had the "soarer" badge and griffin badge shaved off..

and has only a "lexus" badge.. on the hood and trunk..

it's brand new chrome.. but i was thinking the other day of sanding the chrome off so that it's paintable.. and painting it a hot pink / fushcia..

so it's pink on black ... i was thinking this would be kinda cool as an "in your face" look..

..but then again i dont want to ruin the "soft spoken" demeanour of my car lol

Do it pink. Seriouisly. If you had a black interior, throw some pink accents in there to set it off.

If I had an extra black SC laying around, I'd totally paint the emblems pink and get pink wheels.

I've left all my Lexus emblems intact, with the exception of the front one which is now a winged lion emblem.

Go with pink! I might paint my extra set of emblems pink and get a small Hello Kitty sticker for the rear bumper.
