Crazy question - will the FR-S/GT86 take a Lexus badge?
My thought - throughout the world, Toyota indiscriminately badges cars the way it sees fit for the local market. In my old Lexus SC300, all the parts under the hood were labeled "Toyota" and not Lexus, and of course, in much of Europe, Scion and Lexus automobiles are badged Toyota.
Any input? If we think "yes," which Lexus has the proper sized badge? Or tell me I'm just nuts... |

Fact, I would do this. I would CERTAINLY do this on a white GT86. I would remove the GT86 badging on the exterior, put on the BRZ side fendor vents and actually put the FR-S lettering on the trunk (or no lettering at all)
Why the FRS? because it is the closet to Lexus' naming system. why the GT86? Because it has the nicer headlights, along with the fog lights and bigger exhaust tips. Why white? Because that colour makes it look like a baby LFA

Exactly! Like the VW guys running Bentley wheels. Just don't. It's a Toyota/Subaru/Scion, be proud of it!

You can check out the LFA body kit somewhere on this forum, the front looks good and the rear is ok IMO. That will make your car really LFA younger bro.
