Yeah. It's the right color when it's not, but when it reflects it gets way too bright.

Considering dark gray as an alternative.

I used wrappers delite last summer.
it's still on car but as someone said, it interferes with sensors
I asked him, the creator, if he could use a clear wrap. I forgot his response but I guess it was no.
I'm thinking if I knew exactly where the sensors are or were in the emblem, I can cut holes in the sticker prior to placing it on car.

I have red emblem on white Lexus

I considered buying the white so it would pop but noticed that the standard Lexus logo on the grille is more subtle and "greyish." Figured its a sticker so if I have a change of heart and prefer the white, you can always switch it up for $30 its not bad.
Hey, how did this sticker hold up for you? Do you happen to have any pics of it in the sunlight/without sunlight? I have starfire pearl as well and I'm thinking about getting either white or dark grey.

I would think it would hold up well...but actually I still have the sticker (somewhere) and was on the fence about putting it on and never actually did.

After I added my aftermarket grille, I liked the way the OEM emblem looked with the dark mesh and didn't want to draw more attention to it with the sticker being reflective. I felt like it might have been overkill with the aftermarket grille itself being trimmed with chrome, there is OEM chrome surround and the emblem is silver-chrome (seems everyone is doing the opposite and blacking-out Chrome these days):

I ended up getting the white emblem and love how it looks during the day, goes with my black and white theme perfectly. I still haven't tested the reflective part of it at night yet but will soon. I just posted a build thread with a few pics of it, it's subtle. I honestly thought it would be more reflective during the day somehow

Looks good

Any plans to black out the middle portion of the front bumper or the side mirrors?
