tundra-lover Posted March 5, 2004 Posted March 5, 2004 I think I've read a coupld posts about changing badging to different styles: chrome/pearl/gold. I'm looking to take mine off all together, and wondered if anyone has done it to a 97'. I'm a little concerned that it may leave some holes in the body- where they are attatched? Does anyone know if it's clean, with no holes under the emblems? I may later replace with the black pearl, but for now I would prefer it to be clean looking. Any help would be great! (My body shop doesn't seem to know unless removed, and I don't have the money to buy a different color yet).
gld98682 Posted March 6, 2004 Posted March 6, 2004 Removal of the "Lexus" from the left corner of the trunk lid, and removal of the "ES300" from the right corner is easy to do, and leaves a clean uncluttered look with no body holes. I used low heat from a heat gun, and small pop-cicle sticks, and lots of patience to remove my badges. The Lexus "swooch" at the center of the trunk lid and hood however, is pinned, and will leave 3 holes showing. Good Luck.
