Gold badging could come back on certain cars and I would be okay with it. Take this LX570 in Black for example. That’s classy as could be.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > OpposResidentLexusGuy - USE20, XF20, XU30 and Press Cars 12/26/2016 at 18:02

I saw a nearly identical LX570 with the gold badges a few days ago. It doesn’t look awful, but it doesn’t look great either. I’m amazed they still offer it, but I suppose if people are willing to pay extra for some gold shrink wrap on their Lexus badges, Lexus might as well sell it to them.

All SC400s should have gold badging.

LS400s are good without though:

It would look better if all the chrome trim was gold as well.

Lexus of Route 10? That’s fucked up bro. Where’s your love for Ray Catena Lexus of Freehold?

Lexus doesn’t sell that. Shitty dealers do.

I remember seeing one back in the early 2000s, it was sorta cool and the owner had picked up a set of matching gold mesh wheels with black lips to go with it.

Subaru WRXs can also pull this trick off very nicely.

Gold badging looks so bad on my truck. I really need to get around to painting my badges.

THE silver looks nice and I don’t think it’s too bad of a deal to buy from the dealer. Also get yourself some hubcaps!

I didn’t know the rivalry was so intense. Are New Jersey Lexus dealers Sales Teams like SEC Schools in Football?

Hub caps? on alloys?

Well the rivalry isn’t intense. There’s Ray Catena Lexus of Freehold, then there’s everyone else.

They are caps that cover the hubs on the FJ80 so yes hub caps on alloys.

So you’re saying you’re the Alabama of New Jersey Lexus dealers. Got it.

Im kinda just fucking with you, i guess they are technically hub caps...center caps is the accepted term though. And I think they look way better without anyways.

I’ve got center caps, I need to repaint them. But I prefer the looks of it with them off, somehow it makes the truck look shorter and more muscular.

What I’d really like though is steelies and to remove the flares.

So does that mean Tom Williams Lexus of Birmingham is the Auburn of Lexus dealers

Because I like them, and they always seem to have an old SC on the lot.

Lexus of Mobile is probably Tennessee. Looks great (had an LFA for a long while) but all together kinda not special.

Lexus of Knoxville had one too. The most random places got stuck with random LFAs and an astronomical floor charge lol.
