Maybe you can photoshop the badges on your truck first...take a few shots of the different angles of your truck... add the badges via PS, and see how you like it. It's a lot less labor-intensive, too. My 2 cents.

My 2cents cause ya asked!
Many times here in Houston, i see idiots driving around what they think are "pimped out" Lincoln towncars (the old '80s and '90s models) with big nasty rims, rubber band tires, sound systems worth more than the car, Nasty-A' Metal flake paint jobs, and, of all things, gold plated Cadillac Wreaths all frikin over them. On the fenders, on the trunk on the C-Pillars, on the hood...Its disgusting. Its not even a frikin Caddy'!
I hope that by putting Lexus badges on a Toy, you won't be looking like one of the aforementioned Idiots.

I once saw a early 90s Chrysler minivan with a Mercedes medallion on the front. It didn't quite fit in the hole that the Chrysler medallion was originally in and it was slightly crooked.

Don't do it. It's cheesy. Sorry to anybody else that has already done it... but it's still cheesy... no matter how cool your truck is.

Justin,

people who do the things you talk about all the time have a place on this earth. After a long hard day at work, putting up with hellish customers and deadlines, I drive home with rarely a smile on my face. When I see someone like you, who may have a Toyota truck with Lexus badges all over it, or a Cavalier with a Honda Type R sticker, I just can't help but crack up at what goes through some peoples heads. In that instant I know that no matter what I have done to my truck, I have never gotten that close to tastelessness (If that is in fact a word). You are young and will want to do dumb things to a $25,000 vehicle that your father bought you. When I was 16 I had an eyebrow across the windsheild of my 94 V-6 Chevy truck that said "Bad Bowtie". Was it a bad bowtie? I sure thought so, but no I look back and go what a dork. Take my advice, whenever you have the urge to do something like this, stop take a moment, and ask yourself WWCD? (That means what would Clay do) Then proceed to email me and I will continue to give you the tips you need to stay in the Kool Kat club, or whatever it is you long to be part of.

Justin, if you like it do it. Who cares. It is your turck, express yourself however you want with it. If you look back and think "what was I thinking", then take a moment and laugh at yourself. If you really want to ask yourself a good question forget WWCD, think WWMD. What Would MacGyver Do.

It's your truck, so do what you want. Bayou Thunder is right, you will someday look back on what you've done and think "What the hell was I thinking?"

But, IMHO, spinners and Lexus badges, hope you like attention. I'm talking about the homies leaving your truck on the brake drums when they steal those shiny wheels. I've seen it happen on Escalades here Make sure you wear your baseball hat on backwards, your high tops untied, and your jeans drooping down past your boxer shorts, then you'll be pretty fly!
