Wink GS 350 Black Pearl Emblem kit

Hey guys
I am thinking of changing all my Emblem to this Black Pearl Emblem kit, does anyone has them on their car. Or is there anyone out there can tell me a little about them. Do they have the same quality as the one that is on my car right now? Please reply.....thanks

From what I understand, it should have the same quality as the OEM chrome ones. How much are you getting the kit for?

^ The black chrome are not oem, they are done by a 3rd party for lexus dealers. I think Sewell's supplier is pretty good, they seem to hold up well. Not sure how it would look on SGM, looks sweet on light colors like white or pearl white.

I think the Black Pearl Emblem would look better on a light color car.

Too bad they don’t make a brushed nickel emblem kit; they would look good with Smokey granite.

SGM with the black pearl emblems you referenced to, is a good color combination....I just saw one the other day.......new GS 350..W/ black pearl color matching 5-spoke rims and medium tint all around....very sexy.

sad thing about the black pearl stock wheels is that the dealer probably raped him $5K for them.... lol

How difficult is it to switch out the old emblems for the new ones?

^ Not very hard, but like anything, gotta take your time and have patience. Search the 2IS forum for a thread by JavyLsu - he's got a great DIY thread on removing/installing the emblems on his IS350. . .
