Does anyone know or have information on the exact part numbers for the:
"Black Pearl" OEM emblems?
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lexus-GS350-black-pearl-emblem/dp/B008ETDDWG">Amazon 2013 Lexus GS350 black pearl emblem kit [/HTML]

If the part numbers can be broken up separately instead of the entire kit that would be better because all I need are the front and back L emblems and the GS...(not the 350). One thing that is interesting about the front "L" emblem is that the car has it covered with that plastic stuff (so if anyone knows how to remove it to insert the new "L" that would help also)...

If the part number is the same as another Lexus out there (meaning the emblems are the same size), then I don't need to spend the money on the 2013 ones....!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alex206 - I don't know what discount you are seeing but it is more expensive going to that link you sent me than buying it on Amazon even when I log in as a CL member...there is NO savings at all.

Plus it doesn't show the "exact" part number which I am looking for also...and it doesn't have information on the front badge replacement either.

Thanks for the try but it seems that Sewell is about $30+ dollars more expensive (plus then there is shipping costs also I would have to pay).

Anyone else out there know of this option? (And yes I can always take them off and paint them too)

Mike,

To my knowledge.. There are currently NO legit or official OEM part numbers for Black Pearl emblems...

The front emblem is not going to come out of the plastic encasing..

Here is what just the rear emblem pricing looks like when logged in with a CL discount..



Most dealerships will end up buying all the rear OEM pieces and send them out to a third party company to have them dipped in black chrome..

Joe,

Thanks for clarifying the details for me on this one.
I so wish the front emblem would come out of the plastic too

I have been hunting this one and wonder if the 2011 GX460 emblem and backing would fit in this same spot. It looks like they are the same size and might fit:

2011GX460:


2013 GS350:


After searching around the Sewell site, this is pretty legit!!!
** Alex206 - thanks for sharing this tip with me (i will book mark it and register)
** JoeZ - thanks for helping out!

Looks like I have to figure something out for the front grille now...

Thanks everyone for the help!!!

NP Mike....

It would be pretty awesome if you did some trial and error with the LX460 mounting plate & "L" emblem for the front...

If they are the same size, it would be golden.. I'm a BIG fan of the original 3D emblem...

Im really not a fan of this new ONE design encased in the Plastic shell.. Well maybe only on cars equipped with "PCS" .

Mike, I also forgot about the following Options...

Remember I told you about AeroTect and the films they provide ??

They have one called "Tint" and/or "Steel".. It's a subtle light smoked film..

This is a GREAT Solution..!! It would look Perfect IMHO..

You can do TWO things with this Film.. Protect the Emblem Surface & Smoke it at the same time..





OR

Also, here is another solution for the Front Emblem.. (since it is "Lens Like")

SMOKE Lens Spray.. 2-3 light coats at best..
