I like it... I shaved off my xB and put a TRD badge.

One can look clean in the right spot, just don't put too many! :wink:

I've decided I like fewer badges, not more. I don't feel a need to debadge my tC, but I don't want to add more either.

They're about $18 shipped from eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7924050109&category=33643).

Stick that badge on your behind! Now your butt is Varible Valve Timing - w/ Intelligence :twisted: :twisted:

Anyways, that's a nice looking badge and not bad for $18-28. I probably wouldn't get it myself but it does look nice.

....and if that had come stock on the car - people would be asking for the upteenth time on what's the best way to remove it. :roll:

If you really want that emblem - fine - get it - it's your car, not your neighbors. Do what you want with it.

Does that mean your office door will open faster?

Yeah... of course, WD40 on the hinges will also add another 20hp.

At what point will the hinges have to be upgraded,

With my CAI, CCT-i badge, NOS sticker, and now WD-40 i should ce close to 134whp,

My door's 0-60 was .34 this morning to btw? Any advice on how to open it quicker

Lower the weight. Take out any glass that's in it, and put a wing on the back to increase downforce to the rear, so you don't lose control when opening the door!
:lol: LMAO!

I do agree that the badge looks nice. Honestly, I've been thinking of replacing my tC badge with a TRD one. Just have to get TRD parts on it first.

For the best time, just take the door off. That way you only need to worry about your seat belt.

HAHAHA Lets all makes jokes..

Naw they were kinda funny...

I ordered it from Ebay for $9.95

I dunno if I should remove my TC and replace it or put it on the other side..

Most likely I'll put it on the other side..

It'll have the Hondas wondering..DUDE WHATS A VVT-I!!? I needz me one of those!

I definately would put a carbon fiber vinyl overlay on it....that not only will make the door stylish but it will give people the impression that it is a fast door...cuz remember its all about what people think...

You could always mount the VVT-i on your carbon fiber engine cover. :)

I bought it for 15.00 off ebay..

I just noticed that the Lexus's comes w/ the VVT-i Emblems on their cars?!

Sweeeeeeeet...Now mine does!

no they do not. Lexus has NEVER put that emblem on their cars. . . at least not Lexus USA. . . dunno about JDM Toyota versions.

And if I recall correctly. . . I could've sworn that the IS300 pictured does not have VVT-i, but rather VVT-iL

for the badge or for what? We have an IS300. . .

10-05-2004, 07:19 PM

:oops: oops yeah, it is VVT-i, and not VVT-iL. . . that was the LS430

djct_watt

10-05-2004, 07:28 PM

but no, no Lexuses have that badge. . . I'm in and out of Lexus dealers all the time. . .
here's the same angled pic of an IS300, from lexus.com, and it has no badge.

See if you can find one that has VVTL-i.

It would be cool in a goofy kind of way if you put VVTL-i, VTEC, and VANOS badges on one car.

most of the toyotas overseas have that badge on em. I bought one 8 months ago and replaced my big flying saucer scion badge in the back wiht it :D

i dont believe there are VVTL-i badges out. (yet)

Lexus does not have that badge on the exterior of their cars. It may be on the inside engine cover, I am not sure. But NOT the exterior. 8)
