but the question is the REAR L-tuned Emblem BIGGER than the side emblems or the SAME?
If you got them just as pictured in the auction then the rear should be the one stating "Rear fitting device"...doesn't matter about the size.

Looks all the same size to me...

pics? neone on GS300

Don't worry bro those look like the real deal and they are all the same size, the fakes usually don't come with templates, btw congrats on finding a very rare and long discontinued part, I've had mine since they were available at the dealership, as for the grief you are getting about the price I have seen these sell for way more than 150, surprised to see new ones still around at any price.

You can't really tell if they are fake or not but $150 is a lot ot bet on. Either way, the general public can't the difference

Good gravy, can you even buy L-Tuned components any more?

Sort of like wearing a "Studebaker" shirt...

Who?

So if they are real, you are keeping them? If they are fake, then ...?

Do you have other L-Tuned parts on the car? Otherwise, why spend so much on some stickers. Personally, I would not put an L-Tuned sticker on the car unless it is a full L-Tuned car. I know it is your $ and your car. Just giving you my opinion. It is like putting an ///M or AMG emblem on a car that is not one (even if that includes buying one or two components like ///M or AMG wheels).

Good luck in getting your answer about the size. I've had various L-Tuned parts on my car at various times but never felt the need for the sticker (and this was all when L-Tuned still existed). I've never had the stickers in my hands so I would not have an answer for you.

I had the same idea. I'm missing the rear badge/side skirts/and wheels to have the full L-Tuned setup...
