C5Bob Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I am looking at an '09 RX Pebble Beach Edition to replace my '07 RX400H. The '09 has PB badges on the front doors above the side molding. Pictures I have seen on the internet, including the Lexus.com site show badges on the fenders. Can anybody confirm that there were vehicles with badges on the doors from the factory, or is this the result of a poor re-paint? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cduluk Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I believe the badge is supposed to be on the fender. The Rx330 thundercloud Ed badge is supposed to be on the door. Can you post pics? Can you find evidence of re-paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C5Bob Posted March 20, 2011 Author Share Posted March 20, 2011 Beach badge-passenger.jpg] It does not appear that the car has been re-painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cduluk Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 It's definitely been tampered with, you can see it's crooked in the last pic. It was either moved for aesthetic reasons or because of confusion during body work. I also notice that weird "trim" piece on the lower edge of the fenders, not sure what that is? Sometimes it's very hard to tell if something's been re-painted if done correctly... But if you can't tell, that means it was done well! That badge can be removed and moved back to its original spot if you'd prefer it. Just heat it up with a hair dryer and the adhesive backing will loosen up. Just hope it hasn't etched the paint in that area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
