1993 Unbadged Yes Or No

[Knightman]

Hi,

My 1993 Mk2 does not have the LS400 badging on the rhs of boot lid. It just has Lexus on the lhs. There are no tell tale signs of LS400 ever having been there.

I have recently seen a couple of LS400's on my travels and notice that they are all badged LS400. Does anyone know where I can get a genuine LS400 badge from and approx how much they are. Also is it supposed to have LS400 on the back, or is it an addition on later models and therefore unauthentic to have one on a Mk2?

Many thanks :)

Neither of my Mk1 or Mk2 had the LS400 badge on when I got them.I bought the badge new from eBay for about £7. The badge from eBay was posted from China but the quality was excellent and to me it doesn't look any different from an original Lexus badge.

Thanks Andy. Will scour eBay. I think it will look better with one than without.

I hope this helps,

When the ls400 1st came to the UK it was just badged as Lexus because it was lexus,ie the only car they made.It was only when they introduced the GS300 that the cars were badged LS and GS.

WTF?

The rason you find the badge missing is that the ls400 is stuck on and sometimes starts to fall over time and then people remove them. You can't remove the lexus name as the badge has location holes underneath and if you remove the badge you have about six holes in the boot.

I myself took all the badges off, Filled the holes and resprayed the boot and put new badges on it. Ones I wanted.

If you replace the ls400 and badge will do, But for the lexus badge then it must have the location holes on it to stop water getting into the boot.

Hi Knightman,

your LS 400 badge did not fall off, as others have stated it never had one. period. I fitted a LS 400 badge to both my 93's I think it evens out the look of the edge of the boot lid.

Bought both mine from Malaysia £3.98 inc postage, look up eBay member sahilrey, they are good items, 1st one took a fortnight to arrive, latest one just over a week.

Thank you. I will look up that name and order. I agree it does even out the boot lid. It also identifies the vehicle fully and contributes to the proudicity of ownership. :D
