I am pricing and it seems you can't just buy the emblem if you have radar cruise, you have to buy the entire thousand dollar plus system
haha told you someone already looked at that for the ls460 (with 600hl front emblem)

Update-
Luis with Carson Toyota is not 100% certain but he said it does seem the emblems are interchangeable.

Now get this. The front emblem is over $700 and the rear emblem is over $200. Nearly a grand for 2 emblems!!!

I can't wait to see your car! I'm finalizing the theme I am going with. You would think I would have that figured out by now, the damn car has been out 4 years.

Storm does your 450h hybrid emblems on the lower sides have a blue surround?

best thing to do is to go to the dealer and make sure the 450H lamps are tinted.
otherwise it's huge money wasted.

i think it's a photoshop effect too.

My headlights definitely are tinted but you wouldn't notice it just looking at the car. The only time you would notice is next to another GS. And the plastic itself is clear it is just the chrome stuff inside that is a like a blue grey...

Loaner RX350 Headlight


Who knew they gave new RXs with Nav! Roadtrip!

I like the regular emblems better than the one with blue accents.

Blue tinted headlights = rice.

lucasb7, I'm not talking about the way you did it which is nice and subtle.

I would hope it is subtle... That is stock from Lexus for the 2008+ 450h models.
