I think your truck looks Great the way it is. Dont ruin it, by making it something it isnt.
I know what people do when they see a Landcruiser with Lexus Badges on it, trying to make it something it isnt.
I know i am probably in the minority here, but i vote "Dont do it".
You asked for comments.
I think your truck looks Great the way it is.

Someone here did that but I don't recall who. It looked okay but it depends on what makes you happy. Since your gallery consists of pictures at night I can't see what your truck looks like so I can't comment on any changes you've already made.

Honestly, OKCTundra can pull it off cause his Tundra absolutely owns and is really clean. As mustang67408 said, your truck is fine without it. This is just a useless rice mod.

Well if you want to nitpick, they're not EXACTLY the same. He's got a different exhaust, different rims, his front bumper is white, and a rollpan. I never said your truck wasn't cool, because it is. I'm just saying that OKC's is way smooth for some reason, and most trucks can't match it. It just stands out. But, I was just offering my opinion that getting Lexus badges is a waste of time when your truck is already cool without them. If you're going to do it, do all of the necessary badges including interior ones. IMO, you should make a poll, but so far it seems that the general concensus is no.

roll pan and painting my front bumper along with door shave is on the way.My summer vacation ends on august 11th before I go back to school so until then I am working.I see the point you are trying to make but I like the way his truck looks and I got the idea to put the emblems on.thought it would look slick.anyways where do I start a poll.On another forum I'm on I just go start a thread and there is a option to do so,yet on this forum i do not see it.

Yes, registered members can still post messages even if they haven't purchased a club membership. They can start new threads too, but they won't see the option to start a poll in the new thread unless they are a club member.

IMO, I think you should do the Lexus badging, if that is some thing you want to do to make it unique in your own and eyes and if you think it will look great with them on, I conviced that you should do it for yourself. Hey if you are not happy with end results, you can always debaged again. After all its your truck you don't need anyone elses approval.

I think putting Lex badges on is lame! It's not a Lex so why pretend...pose...fake Be proud of what you have and concentrate on mods that make it more functional.
