clive - any installed pics?

I ordered mine from SG a couple days ago, and plan installing this weekend, with some pics and a write up; pretty straightforward I'm guessing.

Hi guys,
dex, i did not install the piece, when i went to collect the piece i realized it was too big for the 98 steering wheel.it wouuld NOT look good, the embossed emblem would be in plain view,NOT GOOD . iwould prefer one that would cover perfectly the embossed emblem,untill i get this it will remain as is, i refused to do anything to my car that will take away from the meaning of a lexus ie. quality,grace and style

Clive - would you be so kind to post the exact part number from your Lexus of Manhattan invoice, so the rest of us will know which part to not order?

Thanks

Well I guess a good way to cut cost would be to use a mold from the emblems on the steering wheel. So there is an exact match out there.

I wanted a chrome emblem on the wheel real bad, but since every car from Civics to Kias have their huge badge on the steering wheel (looks like a cheap center cap) I dunno...

Default Steering wheel logo

I thought about the same thing. While drinking a few, I got out my product code "199" paint and carefully painted the L. Suprisingly it turned out awesome. I figured what did I have to loose as I could always put the ES badge on..

It looks hella fine though. I'll take pictures if anyone is interested.

I am thinking of adding the es badges to the front quarter panels where the platinum badges are supposed to be.

I'm a little dissapointed that people on here would even joke about jacking Lexus symbols off cars...I mean come on...are we 14?

Please try to emulate the car and have a little class.

Statements like the above make all of us look bad.

I'm not trying to play daddy here...you can do whatever you want. I don't want to put a Club Lexus sticker on my car and have someone say "Oh...you are one of those guys that borrows cars and steals parts off them."

Bottom line...you can afford a Lexus...you can afford a stupid emblem.

Late.

Brent...where in TX are ya?

2002 emblem is too big by about 1/2 inch. The emblem is on the engine cover. This will not stop me!!!

My statment said "Uh...I just picked up a 2002 ES300 loaner........well you know." I know there are people on this forum like you that cant even see a joke. Dont worry I wont disgrace your moralship. I will try to structure my jokes with a visable punch line. Try to remember these are words only words. I didnt mean to shake you up but its ok now ...calm down.
