| Stupid but its 100 Tech
Hey,
Would a Cygnus and Land Cruiser Emblem make sense on a Lexus LX470!!!

Hey! I'm not nearly as think as you drunk I am.
Does that go there?  
So your going to have a Lexus LX470 Land Cruiser Cygnus V-8 SR5 TRD?
BUT- Make sure whatever you take off doesn't have holes in the body that don't line up with the new ones.

So when someone asks what kind of car is that I could say " Thats is a 1999 Lexus LX470 Land Cruiser Cygnus." rofl
Should I change the Lexus emblem to a Toyota one or should I just keep the center Lexus emblem?
p.s
This is what teenagers do when theres nothing better to do in spring break, lol

I got those off ebay. Where can I find the Cygnus Grill?

| interesting. Thanks Loud
Anyone know why they call it the cygnus? Will it continue as the Cygnus in 08 or will it become the Lexus Brand? Is the mirror on the front hood a blind spot mirror? | |

| Try these: http://lexus.jp/ http://toyota.jp/landcruisercygnus/index.html http://toyota.jp/landcruiser100/index.html
Some of the shots show the little fender mirror in working position. It looks like they just market the Lexus cars as Lexus, not the trucks.

| Where I grew up, Land cruiser was a brand name so respected and associated with reliablity, toughness and luxury that there is no market segment that can afford a Lexus........
What are you going to do with a 300hp car in the only highway linking Kathmandu to the outside world where the speed limit is posted at 40km/hr. Noone follows it, but it gives you an idea.
Seriously, if you went 100km/hr in Nepal today, you would be bragging to some abou it for sure. Quote:
