took a few weeks, and some miscommunication, but I now have one on the back of mine. And I believe Jodie (Chickita) still has hers.

And Pete (ICEMAN) will soon have one Very Happy

Yeah it's not a Lexus, it's better. Very Happy More power to ya. It's like people who drive Commodores with Chevy badges - whatever floats your boat.
I think the Lexus badges is mainly so people don't think your car is an import, as import = negative feelings and stigma.

...i dunno about the chev badged on commo's tho... if that was the standard .... ya know having a chev motor in another car and putting a chev badge on it .... europe is fked then hahaha

i dont think ferrari V12's and aston martin V12's even tho they are the same block would be at all ok swapping those badges over.



by all means you can put a vauxhaul badge on your holden Clubsport if you wanna be all fancy an european... thats the same thing ( same car, same chasis, same engine, different badge)


but borrowing an engine block from an american company dosnt make your $40,000+ family car a muscle car.


dont get me wrong ... fkyeah i love the V8, im dreamning about a new maloo atm. just is a bit of a different circumstance to having the same car factory badged as 2 different cars

I wouldn't worry about looking like a douche though mate, you've looked like that for ages.

If I was keeping my Aristo I had planned to re-badge it as a Camry....just for shits and giggles.

Speaking of re-badging, the other day Ii saw a Hyundai Excel with HSV badging....seems like someone needs to lay off the drugs for a bit.
