debadge....to take off the badges...for a clean look. He's not REbadging it.

 

Thanks Black Shadow!!!

 

Well those holes are to line up the badge right? So it's not that you can't debadge it... it's just that it'll require more work.

 

Good info. Thanks.

yeah have to get it into the shop for some welding

I think they wanted to make it more difficult cause they were pissed so many IS300's were running around with no Lexus signs on the back.

I know... at my workplace there's another guy with an IS300... and he changed the front grille and put Altezza on the back. I don't think he wants people to know he drives a Lexus.

 

Just take it to the shop and have them cover the hole. I think all cars look better without the emblems.

 

i think i would debadge a 250 but not a 350...like how ppl with 3series usually debadge their 325, sometimes debadge their 330 and rarely debadge their m3.

Yeah we really need to debadge this car cause as it stands its SUPER unclean right?

well, when you try wax the car, the badges get in the way and are hard to clean

It's not that bad...

 

I guess manufacturers are getting wise to all the de-badging going on!

 

I have seen people debadge a 525, but not the more expensive ones. Lots of people debadge lower model cars to hide that they are lower model cars.

 

I debadged my AWD Turbo Celica.
It's great to see the look on people's faces when they race what they think is a regular Celica and they get stomped.
Especially when it's snowing or raining.

 

Does the "250" have the same holes???

If not then you should just take that off....

I have seen many GS 300's debadged to hide that its not a 400 or 430...

However, I have also seen plenty of GS 400/430's debadged as well... of course that gives them the "Sleeper" look...

In my area, there's a Porsche GT2 that is badged Turbo

I personally think debadging is just more pleasing to the eye, forget all the other reasons.

 

Lots of people debadge their cars, it's personal preference. Look at all the JDM badges you see (Nissan Skyline 350GT, Altezza, etc...). Putting a Nissan badge on your Infiniti certainly isn't going to increase it's value.

This is good info, it's a shame Lexus put holes in but oh well, you can always plug them if you really want the badge gone.

 

Yeah, it is a shame. I was planning on debadging my future 350.

 

I personally think its a full of shit mod. I like to know what kinda car im stuck behind in traffic. No need for me to think to hard and dechiper tail light shapes.

 

For lots of people on this site, we can tell what model is which even if it is debadged.

I would like to take a guy who debadged his car and show him other debadged cars that look similar to his and see if he can dell the difference between different trim levels. (eg. 525i vs. 545i or S430 vs S500) If he couldn't figure it all out I would laugh at him/her. :lol:

Never said its unclean now...but I'm sure many people would agree with me that it give you a CLEANER look. Anyways, I'm not one to debadge my cars. issed:

 

i dont like when someone has a regular benz like a clk 430 and just adds the AMG badge. the other day i saw a new 2005 corolla badged as a lexus. the grille was rebadged as a lexus grille and the back read, lexus 300s. it looked f@%*ing retarded
