With all do respect,
Please, please don't.

As a member on ClubLexus, these are the types of people we have made fun of.

People will always be taking pictures of your car to post online and laugh at.

If you want a Lexus, you can get an older one for the same price as a Yaris.

Don't be like these people....

With all due respect, I think those badges on other cars are funnier than hell!

Did ya notice that the jab is usually towards the more pompous brands of cars (BMW, Mercedes, etc)? The kind driven by people who think they are hot shit because of the car they drive? It makes me laugh, almost anyone can spend too much money (or more likely, get a loan) and drop it on a car, which is a bad investment in the first place.

I make a considerable sum of money, but when it came time to replace the VW I owned for almost ten years, I was looking for a good commuter car which led me to the Yaris. I could have easily spent double on a car; but I don't see the point as the majority of my time is spent driving back and forth to work (a 22 mile commute each way) or running errands. The Yaris is perfect for that.

So, again I saw go for it, put Lexus emblems on your car and even get a Lexus keychain. And if it offends anyone, just tell them to get a sense of humor!

One last comment, it is funny how different people think. In Germany, it is very popular to debadge cars, and as we've seen there are people on here who repaint their badges to make them much more subtle. To each their own, but whatever makes you happy is what's important!

Cheers! M2
