I want Lexus badges for my scion xB. I've checked ebay and they either don't have a full set or they're really expensive. I would like to know where I could get Lexus badges cheaper or if you think I should just get vinyl Lexus decals (that look like the emblems) and use those instead.

If I did the vinyl decals, I could do something clever like "Bx300" or something like that.


BTW: don't give me b/s about "rebadging is wrong" or anything like that. Its my decision to change it. My xB has been debadged since I bought it and I'm really annoyed of people asking me what it is. I think it'd be cool to say "It's a Lexus" :silly:

Lexus is Toyota. Toyota is Scion. Scion is Lexus.

NO

You don't drive a Lexus, so stop acting like you do.

maybe you people didn't see this, lemme try it again...

BTW: don't give me b/s about "rebadging is wrong" or anything like that. Its my decision to change it.


IN OTHER WORDS, please keep your negative comments to yourself. Only post here if you can tell me where to get Lexus badges.

Have you tried the junkyard, maybe u'll find a totaled lexus that you can take them off of.

ebay is about as cheap as you'll get other than a junker.

Junkyard is a good idea!


If I cant find any good ones there, I found vinyl ones at decalkits.com $20 gets you a full set.


Thanks, I appreciate your ideas.

no problem, good luck

The mall parking lot? :rofl:

moved...

Great idea Scott17.

:-\

he says not to give him any B.S, about it and the very first two posts do that.... you could just choke people sometimes.

But I digress.... where I find the irony in the whole thing is, what makes this 'mod' different/better/worse what rebadging an xB with bB or xA with ist badges??? And NO, they AREN'T the same vehicle - the xA/xB and the ist/bB's only LOOK the same. So... if you got 'bB' on the back of the box, in my book - you're just as big of a poser as someone with a Lexus "L" and a "bX300"

He's not looking for Mercedes stars for the grille - I don't think I'd sport Lexus badges - but it is in the same family at least - But I guess if you have a Toyota Altezza in Japan and swap on some Lexus and "IS300" badges... you're probably a poser over there then....

Get off his ___.

thank you windowtint


I understand why ppl would be annoyed, I myself don't agree with such things as rebadging...but Scion to Lexus is a hell of alot better than something really stupid like Scion to Ferarri.

I think the decals will look cheap and tacky.

Bouncer is a loser. :loser:

Loser or not it's his mod, wether I like it or not doesn't matter in the scheme of things. It only needs to make sense to him.


:eyebrow:

i'm just gonna change my grill to the ist grill so ppl will stare longer too see wtf it really is :rofl:

What I find funny about the rebadge issue is that in Japan they are exchanging the Toyota badge for a Scion badge.

C'mon, guys, give 'im a break. There's a lot worse than puttin' Lexus badges on a Scion, eh?

whoa, where can i get one of those spoilers?!?! :rofl:

wow...that is pretty bad when you make a ricer wing out of cardboard :rofl:

Just when I start to forget, I always find a reason to dislike a hall monitor.

Now... you may be just 'playing' - but it sure as hell doesn't read that way and humor sure as hell doesn't translate into print well.

Assuming you're NOT JOKING - Just who the f*ck do you think you are you?!? Why don't you shut the f*ck up and stick to your website crossing-guard duties.

I am ever so proud that YOU are 'staff' of the website - it's good to know that the loser that you are, YOU are an acting ambassador for the site. I am embarrassed to even associate myself with the place knowing that someone who is supposed to be above name calling - SUCH AS SITE STAFF!! - members who are looking for answers to actually, rather benign questions.

You call HIM a loser (FOR LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE!) -

Now granted, my pittance of a 'sponsorship' amounts to a whopping $.33 a day, an amount I net 10x a minute while sleeping - but even that whopping, little measly amount should definately NOT be going to the site so long as there are snot nosed little children as yourself (WHO ARE STAFF!!) verbally humiliating a MEMBER for asking a rather innocent question. At the moment, unless I cool off enough - Darren can expect the next automatic monthly payment to be denied by Paypal.

You should be ashamed, and sure as hell shouldn't be serving on the site staff.

And Darren - I apologize for the open rant - it is your site, and being so, you have every right to maintain the board in any manner of your choosing, but if that means allowing Scionlife staff to insinuate - or rather, directly derogate a MEMBER - then so be it, but more than a few of us will be on our way. Fully aware that that's no skin off yours or anyone else's nose, but at least we'll know in advance and wont have to bother with it.

take a chill pill man, take a deep breath and go out for a relaxing drive man

Why was the :loser: emoticon quoted, but not the :rofl: ? It may not seem much, but it should have been quoted. Text does not have emotion and the emoticons help express it. My comments were meant to tease, not offend.

For those who feel offended by my comments, I'm sorry. Bouncer and I are members of a club called Scion Dynasty. Although we do not hang out on a regular basis, we met at a big 2004 meet in Kissimee, Florida. I was just teasing him. I didn't mean any harm by it. I'm just used to Bouncer's goofy posts on the Scion Dynasty forum. By the way...Bouncer, your girlfriend, Tiffany, doesn't do softcore modeling anymore. Someone posted her yearbook pictures (with her name) online and she freaked out. :doh:

Anyway, it was unprofessional of me to say what I said. From now on, I will be more discreet in my posts.

Bouncer what are you looken to spend, and are you going gold or silver

what ever mod makes you happy go right on a head.

i would love to JDM my ride but some people hate that type of thing. callin it ricey.

IMO instead of is300 make a decal is150 it will make a little more sense but not really

...For those who feel offended by my comments, I'm sorry...

Thanks, mikochu.

Instead of IS300 or IS150 would'nt bB150 sound more right for a new Lexus model. MY2Cents

yeah. . . how much are you willing to spend. . . I know some people who may be able to "acquire" some badges. Damn. . . I think I spelled that wrong.

Also, it's not hard to mount an emblem on a piece of plastic and secure that to the front grill. You don't have to pry the stock mounting apart.

After someone stole my grill and front emblem, I took the one from the back (it was laying around), cut out a piece of clear plastic to fit the oval shape, painted the back black, and secured it to the front grill with a little peel and stick foot and a couple zipties. It came out looking pretty nice. 3M emblem adhesive would work as well.

(I threw a couple LEDs under each side, just for fun.)

Back on topic, I saw a Lexus emblem on a BOP xB at the Central Florida Toyo Show.
I'd only put another emblem on my xB...if I had majority parts of that car on mine.

I thought about putting bB badges on my car, but with the (no) money I have and parts I try to get, it wouldnt come near a bB.

Looks pretty good! What kind of light setup do you have there? LED, Neon? And how did you go about doing it?

See, I was going to get a "Boxster" emblem for my hatch, but I didn't do it because most people wouldn't get the box joke... and I'm sure people would make fun of my for thinking my car is a Porsche... it's not, I just think a boxster emblem would be funny...

I'm still debadged. :P

lol you want lexus badges but you don't want to pay what they're worth

f'in ricer

Some people. Why do people jump in and put in their unwanted opinions when it was made very clear that this person did not want their negative thoughts? Is it for their post count? Keep on drinking your Haterade. My JEEP emblems look sweet.

so how much?

I've had Lexus & DUB Badges since I installed the 20" wheels. All the old farts ask if its a Lexus DUB or DOOB. Mine is blinged out to almost $35k. Photos here: http://www.scionlife.com/?Mark
Interesting fact: Scion, Toyota, & Lexus badges all come in the same size for rear emblems (135mm x 100mm ??) 8)
PS: My rear badge is from a 2000 LS430 trunk lid & was $85 from Lexus

Even though I hate the idea of rebadging the box to a bB, Lexus, JEEP, or otherwise. I have to say that the red "L" emblem in the link below is pretty sweet in my opinion. The red look go well with a white, silver, or blue xB. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7952042320&category=33643

...what the f is your problem? Everytime I post something your always there with some negative comment about nothing at all. How'd you become a mod anyway? you should have that privaledge taken away from you. Seriously...lay off. :come:

I never seen such a bunch of whiney _____es my god.. anyhoo I like the lexus badge idea send us some pics when its done.

Hey bouncer, he said he was joking. Looks like he hit a sore nerver with quite a few people.

they must be all emo :lol:

Thanks for all the positive input people!

so many posts, where do I begin?

1) Mikachu, I accept your apology

2) I don't really wanna spend over $50 on emblems...seems kinda pointless to me

3) Chrome is fine, I'd prefer it b/c my grille is chrome.

4) I'm checking out the randode site and I may get the LEXUS 3rd brake light overlay.

5) I got a PM from someone who happens to have alot of Lexus emblems, and can get them to me for free, all I do is pay for shipping.



uh...I think thats all...once again, thanks for all your positive input!

post pics when your done

they must be all emo :lol:

Half this site seems to be emo. :blah:

I have a question, if I were to rebadge my xa and make it a japan name, what would it be? I have tried researching it, but nothing came up. Any help?

ist.

hmmm... why do we change the names of the imports? I think thats stupid of us to do that.

I think that marketing in America revolves a lot around badging and naming... why do we even have Lexus, Acura, or Infiniti in the first place?

So other words, we name it something different and then make some type of money off of it?

Thanks for all the positive input people!

and yet, you still insist..

Oh....man I forgot to put j/k after I made the comment about my JEEP badges. I don't have JEEP badges...just a carbon fiber bB badge on the front.

I was reffering to the fact of paying $50+ just for badges. They're peices of plastic!


I know none of you people know me, but I am very big on respect, so I would like to thank everyone for showing me admirable respect. I hope we can all meet eachother in future threads! thanks again people. :clap:

You're welcome. BTW, didn't Lexus do a black badge package at one point?? I think those would look sweet on TCM.

-Z

Yeah, I think it was called "black pearl" or something like that. It's suppose to be more expensive than the gold and chrome ones.

Oh....man I forgot to put j/k after I made the comment about my JEEP badges. I don't have JEEP badges...just a carbon fiber bB badge on the front.

hmmm... why do we change the names of the imports? I think thats stupid of us to do that.

Sometimes it's done because they don't think the original names will play in the USA... Remember Datsun? They were always called Nissan in Japan but they renamed it because they didn't think it would be accepted well here. it was always confusing to me when I was young why a Datsun had Nismo written all over it... Then they finally decided we could handle it and changed their name back...

Names can have a big impact, just ask Chevy about their car they made to try and capture the market in Mexico - the Nova...

does chevy nova mean chevy no go or some thing like that???

Yes, basically "Doesn't Go" or won't go

That's why I always crigned at the Lemans too close to lemons.

There used to be a car dealer in Ca named Jim Slemons. I always saw it as Jim's Lemons

Bouncer, there is someone with a Lexus badge on a box in Japan. I say it in a VIP Wagon Magazine, Nov 04 issue. As weird as it is, errbody has there own taste. Nothing wrong with that.

Didn't I see somewhere NILO'S latest version of his xB sporting Toyota Badges??? So why is it ok for NILO to pull that off with props and Tamago keeps giving Bouncer ____. I don't think Lexus badges are as pointless as a 4 point racing harness in an xA, hell that must add at least 10hp. I personally like the Lexus badge better than the scion badge. I think the scion badge looks like something a ninja would throw at you.

does chevy nova mean chevy no go or some thing like that???

And in Canada, the Buick Lacrosse translates to Buick Masturbation.

Lexus = Toyota
Scion = Toyota
Scion != Lexus

Also, I've never seen a Lexus with hubcaps...

You do what you want to your car. Besides, you're the one that will have to deal with the back talk.

Anyway, Tamago races at auto-x events and he's pretty good at it. Racing harnesses help keep your body planted in your seat while driving. Auto-x tracks have lots of twists and turns, in which the racing harness helps a lot. I'm sure Tamago will chime in in the morning...

Oh man... :rofl:

I don't think Lexus badges are as pointless as a 4 point racing harness in an xA.

that's because you're a ricer at heart.

what's more important to you? making your car look better or perform better? if you say look better, then i guess that's why you have the mentality that you do.

if you say perform better, then why are you giving me ____ for lightening my car and improving my chances of crossing the finish line before the other guy? in what way is that pointless? because i dont' have lexus badges?

if you saw my car, you'd see that i've gone form over function almost 100%. the function of my momos is to lower the car's weight, while allowing for better stability during autoX. the 5pt harness is to hold me to my seat while i race, so i can concentrate on DRIVING.

i will continue to give Bouncer for one reason only. he wants to have lexus badges, but he thinks they're too expensive.. what a moron. if you want to "bling" out your ride, then "bling" it right. if you can't afford lexus badges for your ricebox, then you probably shouldn't be putting them on.

Only problem I have with this thread is that he said not to give him any b/s, it's his decision, blah blah.

He knows and everyone else knows that there will be certain people(s) that will give him b/s no matter what.

Just shoulda kept your mouth shut or haven't even started this thread...and put those Lexus emblems on already.

I agree. This thread needs to be locked. Just do it, but don't post a thread with pictures of your car afterwards, because you'll inevitably get the "stupid ricer thinks he has a lexus" comment.

I won't lock it until Bouncer says so.

I don't see it as "he thinks he has a Lexus" but when people are constantly asking you "what is it?" and most would believe the Lexus badges, I think it's funny. I'm still expecting someone to emulate a G500...

I'm still expecting someone to emulate a G500...

I've been asked if mine was a G-Wagon before...I said 'Yes, but not the Mercedes one'

Did you tell them it's an OG-wagon?

Ok i know rebadging is bad but when i first got my box i want so bad to get the mecadios on it and get the g class and the mini cooper emblose and slice them together to mack the mercadies miniG alot of peeps have asked if it is a mini G wagon thats were i got that from.... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Just shoulda kept your mouth shut or haven't even started this thread...and put those Lexus emblems on already.


This thread was started b/c I wanted to know where I could get them. If you didn't wanna help, you didn't need to post in here

Maybe I'd rather spend my money on something more than plastic emblems. WHICH IS ONE REASON I STARTED THIS THREAD, SO I COULD FIND THEM INEXPENSIVE..

why don't you stick with your scion, and let me worry about mine, eh? Yours is used for racing, mine isn't. Let's leave it at that.



mikochu, I guess its alright to lock it. I got my emblems, and that was the purpose of the thread. Thanks for waiting for me to let you know when to lock it thou.


one more thing...when someone asks you not to post in their thread b/c they don't like b/s things that people say...why do people post b/s things anyway? <-- retoricle question, don't bother posting about it

You go boy!

lockaroo!
