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...

I believe so someone did it to their Frs I know there is a picture somewhere in one of these old topics

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

Great idea if I could have a redo - but I've the ultramarine, and there's no matching Suburu color.

Anyone have any idea what size would work? Here's a pic that someone posted suggesting that it's been done:

in the case of the frs however or ft-86 whichever way, most of the parts under the hood are badged subaru tho..

"Toyota indiscriminately badges cars the way it sees fit for the local market"
built by subaru..badged by toyota.. however some parts are lexus, heard the gearbox is off a lexus?

just my view, dont hate. :iono:



the lexus badge does add class tho :w00t:

why would you bother, seriously

Ugh what a wank

Like driving around a Polo and putting a Bugatti badge on it.

Never underestimate Yank bad taste.:lol:

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.

Someone is going baby lfa.

LOL.. identity crisis?

Jesus this forum is full of flame happy people who act like they've never had a thought others didn't agree with.... The guy was looking to find out what badge to use off which Lexus... Don't like the idea? Don't follow the thread....
