I think black cars look better with gold badging. Just my personal opinion.

those emblems are JUNK! I bought emblems from overseas on ebay and I washed the car once and they were fades and destroyed with water spots.....remember you get what you pay for...save your cash on that crap.

Yeah, many here have had big problems with ebay emblems (search and you'll find several threads).

Get the real OEM black pearl ones if you want to do it.

Those black pearl emblems look good on a gold car. I used to have a 1999 ES3 with black pearl emblems and it looked real nice.

You should just switch them up for some gold ones.

thanks for the post, I was looking at them yesterday and asked the seller to tell me about the quality and why the price dif from OEM.... no reply yet.

I am replacing all of my silver with black because my car is silver. I "chromed" the grill, came out amazing, now with the black "L" it should look good, especially since I now have hyperdark rims....

I kinda want to shave off the 0 from the 430 and leave it as a "43" without the GS but I probably wont do that.

I'll be posting pics...

lexus-parts.com = $290

l-tunedparts.com = $268

If I could get em from a credible source for 100, I'd have bought them already. Waiting to see if someone turns up with some to sell since I have seen em floating around at a discount from time to time.
