Default Question: Does your SC have a Soarer Emblem on Trunk Lid?

im curious. i want to know and if anyone has pics to show of their SC with the Soarer Badge on the Right side above tail light onthe Trunk Lid and on the left still keep the Lexus and L badge on the back?

i ask. because sometimes it looks funny with it saying "Lexus ___( L )___ Soarer" on the rear. i thought about just ordering SC 300. like a normal car. i just wanna get opinions and pics if possible. thanks.

i was wanting to do the conversion but the holes in the trunk lid are too different and im not buying another trunk for emblem alignment. but i figured the soarer emblem would maybe be ok.

more input people

Here are some pics of said request:





If these Soarer emblems are placed to indicate the engine swap/NA-T status, I think it's pretty cool.

Same thing is to put Lexus emblems to Toyota Soarer. Fail. BTW all Soarer's that are imported to United Kingdom from Japan are registrated as Lexus. Lexus Soarer, isn't that stupid?

I'm not going to do that, but I'm stripping off all the badging on mine and replacing the "L's" with the red Soarer griffin.

The holes may not line up. That was my main issue with my decision.

That right there is the reason that makes it ok in my book.
If you're going to go as far as swapping the proper motor and trans, why not?
What else would you need to be a "real" Soarer? A wiper (an eyesore if you ask me) and a steering wheel? Close enough

For the record, I still rock chrome L's and SC300's despite the motor swap but I don't see anything wrong with swapping emblems
