Default GS430 black pearl emblem kit - NEW

I am thinking about selling a brand new 5 piece Black pearl emblem kit for a GS430. I paid $299 for the kit. This was special ordered from Japan. If I get a good price I will sell it, if not I will hold on to it.


Also, I have the following emblems for sale:

Silver platinum badging (4)

TEIN emblem (1)

Default Emblems

Just curious... I just purchased the same kit from Lexus... It was special order, but not from Japan I am assuming. I got it the next day. Just curious if there is a diference..

I had to wait 3 weeks for this to come in. the parts manager said this was a special order item and would come from Japan. I really do not think there is a difference. Anyway, as for price I would take a 15% hit on this from what I paid. If anyone is interested let me know.

The thing is, all shops in Japan that sell these emblems said they got theirs from US! Did you get ripped off?

Yeah, if Steve can do this for $185 than obviously this is a way better deal than I paid. I got these emblems from my local lexus dealer so they probably jacked up the price on me.
I'm not sure if Steve kit also inlcudes the front L grill logo as well.

Anyway, I might just keep this and user them as X-mas ornaments on a X-mas tree.

Drew - I think you are correct...

It's been a while since I got mine from Steve, but I don't think the $185 price included the front grill 'L' - just the set of four emblems for the trunk lid.
