As some of you know I just vinyl wrapped my whole car in Matte Black
In the process I had remove all badging, now I don't know what I want to do
I changed to Altezza badging because I've done the 3sge conversion
Now with Matte Black it looks classier and I am thinking of going back to lexus badging.

Pros for Lexus badging:
- Not everyone know what Altezza is
- looks classier
- when I track, there are rarely any Lexus

Pros for Altezza badging:
- different...that's all i can think of....well i like the idea of people see the car and think..ooohh..Altezza..but its not really one..HAHA

Sorry if you think I am making a big fuss out of this...tough decision. tongue.gif

As did I.
I've de-badged both of the cars I've owned and prefer it, however black ones look good too.

stop copying me..i am not going to put Beams on the boot..so u can't do matte black either

too bad ur or not here then i can give u a quote

yes some parts i filled because it was chipped and starting to rust.
other stop chips i just gave it a light sand, be careful where you do it because once its sand it won't stick as well as it will on clear coat

also becareful with the material they use. even if they say its 3M, get them to prove it first.

I can provide you more details, send me an email.

alternatively send it down here i'll get it done tongue.gif

Haha I was always getting something done about the paint, this just happens to be the cheapest. Cost too much, maybe when I was single but too busy to drive that far these days

I voted badgeless

I went through the same thing after my respray and ended up just leaving it, I think it makes it look nice and tidy, with the only badge on my car being the altezza one on the front grill.

I to also loving the look of the car now, good stuff biggrin.gif

I prefer badgeless!

The only badges left on my car are the one on the steering wheel and the club stickers on the 1/4 windows and number plate surrounds (wait, do those count?) laugh.gif
