So yes, had the emblems put on by Baker- bought them at their shop.
May I ask what that dealer charged for the emblems? Is it still around the $300 range.
Thanks in advance!

Default Black Pearl/Anodized Trim

I've got the same exterior SGM/with black interior and black pearl emblems. The dealer did the emblem switch out and clear front bra (3M) for $750. He said they send the original chrome badges to an outfit in Dallas who applies the black pearl or gold plating for them as a subcontractor for Toyota/Lexus nationwide.

I have new shoes for my IS 250 coming from EdgeRacing in Miami in a week which hopefully, when installed and pics shown will meet with more approval than my first failed aftermarket attempt.

The black interior is very hard to keep clean...scuff marks etc...kind of wish I had gone the cashmere route.

from keeping it clean perspective you can argue lighter interior colors are worse

I agree that a black interior would be easier to keep clean than a lighter color. My GF has a beige color on her GS300 and she wishes she had black.

Nice looking car, I also got my car at Bob baker and the buying experience was great my sales person Eric, even stayed late to show me all the bells and whistles on the car setting up my bluetooth and all the settings, then took us out for sushi.

Thanks STIG! I love it! Always looking for an excuse to drive it even though I have a cycle that can get me thru jams faster! Go figure!

It was around $300 for the emblems...

Yes, I think Baker in El Cajon is a great place to buy.... but I didn't get sushi!!!!

I'm going back for lunch!!!
