SO, with so many U.S. Lexus owners rebadging their rides w/JDM badges, etc., I was wondering if JDM owners rebadge their rides w/U.S. badging?
We could start swapping w/our overseas brothers instead of paying stupid $$$ for the badges, etc.

Someone should start a website to swap all the badges, corner lights, head and tail lights.....etc, across the world. It is easy to say, very hard to do

But then again, if it becomes too easy to get JDM badges and everyone has it, it is no longer cool and people don't want it anymore.
Look at the Honda world, clear corner lights was the biggest thing 10 years ago, then everyone has it, so it become uncool. Then everyone start swapping back to the amber lenses. Now it is half and half......haha....

Which would you rather have?
A Toyota Soarer? <--JDM pre-2005
A Toyota SC430? <-- combination of JDM/USDM badges
A Lexus SC430? <-- USDM + JDM post-2005
Or a Lexus Soarer? <-- combination of JDM/USDM badges
Since 2005 (I believe), Japan finally had the Lexus brand. So I think that's the reason why people want the "Lexus" emblem from USDM cars...to swap with the Toyota emblems (which is what I believe KingSoarer [Australia guy] is trying to do).
I've yet to see someone in the US take off their Lexus badge and put a Toyota badge on (to be truly JDM).

I think most people, myself included, prefer the Lexus badge, it feels more upscale and cool, well that is the reason Toyota created the brand.
There is no such thing as a Lexus Soarer, ever since the Lexus brand was created in Japan, it is always Lexus SC430.
I prefer Lexus SC430.
