Anybody know a good (cheap) place to buy gold emblems?
And how much should I expect to spend?

Why do some sites have them listed for certain years only...I thought that the emblems were just on by an adhesive? So what difference would it make what model year the car is. Only thing I could think of is if they have changed the look of the emblem...which is a good thing to have the newer looking ones right!?

Thanx!

p.s. I know some of you are going to suggest the junkyards. I have been calling various junkyards frequently because I also need taillights for my '92 SC (and yes I do tell them 92-96) but it seems nobody ever gets any in!

I think Steve can hook you up with some original toyota/lexus factory gold emblems at a good price.

Steve @ carson toyota, he is listed under the dealers link and his name on here is SUPRATRD (i think)

I just took the gold emblems off my GS430. They are in good comdition except there is a small spot on the front one where the gold is rubbing off. I think the front emblem on the 2001 is larger then previous years. E-mail me and I'll let you have them cheap. You would also have to replace the adhesive.

I found a guy off ebay who sells em for $129 (including shipping) for "Gold Plated on Lexus Factory Parts".

Is that worth it?

Are the ones from Lexus gold plated or gold? If they're just gold plated should those be basically the same?

Thanx guys!
