Its Finnish, if you do a search, you'll find a big thread about that car... the owner posted also a couple months back in the same thread.

why on earth would you do that. That is so rice. If you have a lexus and put on ARISTO on a GS, and Toyota badge, then that would be good, because that is the Japanese version. Or for this case, put SCEPTOR on the rear garnish, as that's what the camrys were called in Japan.

But it's his car, so he can do whatever he wants.

It's a nice ride, but definitely cannot be called a "lexus conversion" because simply it is not.

Just because it is badass, that doesn't make it a lexus. I mean, if he did the ES300 front conversion he could call it a Lexus all he wants. Where can I get SCEPTOR badges? If I end up making my Camry cool I'll get some.

I think it's hard to get SCEPTOR badges for the camry. Toyota of Japan doesn't make SCEPTOR anymore because of low sales, and there are only few out there, and most of them are wagon versions. When I visited Japan a few years back, I've only seen one SEDAN Sceptor. (GEN 3) and it looked weird to me at the time because it didn't say CAMRY.

Thats just retarded.. Why the fuck would you rebadge your camry to be a lexus. Anyone with half a brain is going to look at that and think "what a dumbass". Camry's should stay Toyota Camrys, cause thats what we got.

Dude, you killed it with all the emblems and badges.



In your case, a simple Toyota logo would have had a more powerful effect, as opposed to-- a viper emblem, a trd badge, and an "R" badge (alongside the stock trim badges ) Sorry to be harsh, but I had to say it.
