I thought the Autobot badge is already on from the dealer.I guess I just don't get wasting time and money for something so minimal and insignificant(in my eyes). New lighting,tints,wheels,I get those,but rebadging feel like a person is ashamed of the car brand they bought,especially if it's a Scion.If anything,I would completely debadge the car for a cleaner look.

Oh,last week I saw a guy driving a tC and it had Lexus on it. Not the oval "L" shaped badge,just the name plate that says "Lexus". If that's not the dumbest shit I've seen so far this year,I don't know what is.I know it's cosmetic,but it's akin to putting those shitty fake chrome sticker vents on the fenders.For the life of me,I can't fathom what someone is thinking to want that on their car.

Again,that's just me.

Or it is an inside joke between some friends.
Or it is to get exactly the reaction you had.
Or many other things besides being a poser of some kind.

Didn't get them back from the body shop that switched them for me. Didn't care. Still don't.

I wanted to get a Lexus badge at one point with "BRZ" badged trunk and keep the rest of the scion wheel caps, interior marks, etc just to mess with people and get said reaction.

Makes me wonder does registration for a Lexus say Lexus or Toyota?
