Lightbulb Lexus LED Emblem!

Ok like it says I'm wondering what people think of LED emblems, there is a guy in Boston who does them the place is called Boston Mobile Concepts and they basically add to the emblem LEDs in the back and it will turn from white to red when braking and the front will blink half amber when turning in a certain direction. Here are a couple of pics, I already going through it as I just bought the Lexus emblems for him to go to work on and will post a video of it in action.
He currently has never done a Lexus or Acura so I guess me and my friend are the first.

Ah, I've been waiting for a long time to see this. There were a couple done for an IS but that was in Japan and it was nearly 1 off. I think it'd be a great idea if you could get it on a switch or anything like that. Here are the pictures I had,

This is interesting concept. It can turn out brilliant if done correct.

He is pricey it will cost me about $600 with the install but when its done it will look good and function great. he takes a litle while to complete he will be done with mine in two weeks.
