Does anyone think it would be cool to switch all the "solara" emblems to "soarer" emblems? Has anyone here done it? I like the gryphon emblem I was looking at them on ebay

Maybe do lexus emblems too, hey I know it's a base model, but I think it would be fun to have people scratching their heads and thinking, hm never seen that before...

well... this is different, it actually could pass for a lexus, a civic could not pass for an acura even if the owner invested thousands in it...

Listen, if you want a lexus, buy one. Its only few grand more. Or be happy with what you have. Who cares what people think. The people you would fool don't know cars anyway. They wouldn't look twice at the tags on your car and the people that would look would know the difference and think you're a dic*

Your CAMRY is not a SOARER (Lexus SC).

Adding the Soarer badge (or gryphon) will get you a lot of attention... of people that know what a soarer really is so they can look at what type of driver would do such a thing...

Don't waste your money on those badges... just debage the Solara

Yeah... maybe after the mods (grilles, lowering, body kit, etc) that you've mentioned are complete. I'm thinking you have a case of the not-so-rare SolaraGuy A.D.D..

Symptom: Posting a new desire for your car every week and never posting pics because they never get done.
Cure: The cure is to pick one mod to focus on until it's done.

Why not start with MichaelT's grills. Easy install, doesn't break the bank, and has a lot more effect on your car's "gravitas" on the street. Especially compared to the effort and cost of switching badging to confuse drivers that you'll never know even saw them. I just have the lower grille and got two "props" for it last week on my roadtrip. (Which of course have to be transferred to the Michaels Artic Frost Props Fund.) 8)

or you could just do what ever you want and not worry what these guys think or say or anyone else for that matter as long as your happy with your car

I mean do you think the chick with the hello kitty solara is listening or carring?

no matter what ya do someone will or wont like it. What is important is that you will like it.

Be like me..Debaged my whole car and for the fron grill had a lexuz emblem on it..Pearl black.. I wouldnt care what people in this forum or other forum has..I still got a 1MZ block in my car and I am dam Fcuking proud of it...

Second to me seeing a honda with and Acura emblem on it is gay in some ways..But to see a honda emblem on an acura integra Im ok with that..Its just how peoples taste are. So its up to you to do what YOU want with your car.. I could care less what people have to say about me putting a lexus emblem on my car.. Now if I putted a HONDA emblem on my car, that would be a different story..
