Japan has had Lexus for awhile now
Oh wow, what year did they start to do that? The last time I was in Japan was 1997. Interesting though.

I was sad to see another one that some OLD LADY, that walked up to me in the parking lot of my local grocery store and started asking questions, then 2 weeks later had a car shipped from out of state. EXACT SAME SPEC and COLOR. Yes, I do realize that Tc turned into a "chick" car, but give me a break I was a Senior in highschool with a brand new car that I worked for. so that kind of pissed me off. That's why this time around I went with the BRZ, for the potential of exclusivity (for hopefully a little while longer then 2 weeks). You cannot imagine my 18 year old RAGE!!!!! If that lady or any old lady walks up and starts asking questions this time, I'm going to tell her its a BUICK.
oh lawl

Like 05-06. I remember seeing a lot of people importing Infinitis and Lexus before that but never offically sold in Japan. Funny to think for those that imported, many were made in Japan, shipped to US, shipped back to Japan

It was '06 for Lexus.

A lot of guys in Japan just buy the Lexus/Acura/Infiniti badges and nameplates from their local shop, just like we do the opposite with Toyota/Honda/Nissan.

As for re-importing, the reason is that it's often considerable cheaper to do that than buy the car domestically (pricing for new cars in Japan is basically fixed).

How do the original badges come off? I took a look at them on the car and I would be a bit concerned about prying them off. I do like the Toyota badges but they are not the same "pewter" color, but rather chrome.

Welcome to the world of JDM and even OEM. But like I said, it's slightly cheaper if you buy from Carson Toyota


The set will be $59.00 for the pair shipped here to Carson, CA
Shipping from here to most in the US should be about $5.95 via USPS Flat Rate Box Shipping


But then you also need:

Toyota Japan OEM Wheel Cap Set (4 pcs)
This set will be $79.95 per set


And the mother of them all:

Next is the JDM Air Bag
This will $876.00 shipped here to Carson Ca, it will be about 6-8 weeks to get as it has to ship via ocean freight since its a Hazmat item


Oh and if you still have a kidney or a leg you haven't sold, you might as well get this, too:

Toyota Japan OEM GT-86 Exhaust Tips
The price is $180.00 per set


Have fun with your rebadging
