There are holes behind them. I have seen a lot of people do this and none of them had holes, why mine? Now I need to buy a new set of emblems to cover the holes. I want to find a black set, anybody know who would offer them?

Wat do you mean? All 2is has holes. There are 4 holes total. Two on each side.
Sewellexus.com has it.

Sorry to hear that but they all have holes. Some people bring them to the body shop and get them filled in. Umm i forgot the exact site but im almost 100% that lexus offers them on there accesory site. Just search the forums for Pearl emblems.

I don't want to put 350 emblems on a 250, I am not too concerned about putting on a front with what type of car I have. I just like the clean look of no emblems. Damn I wish I knew that before I took them off. Now I am forced to get the black emblems, but am concerned I will not get them to sit perfectly straight.

EXACTLY!!! We have members that paint the emblems themselves. Save yourself ~$300 for new ones.....

My lexus emblem broke so I can not paint them. I guess I will just buy the black pearl ones for that exorbanent cost. I still have no clue how I am going to get the "IS 250" emblems straight since they are individual letters, this sucks.

buy new chrome ones and paint them! They only cost $50.00 a set. You can have four sets for the price of one Black Pearl

That's why you use painter's tape to mark around the emblems before you remove them:

we have a really great club here regarding anything about lexus, there are numerous posts about debadging... so hopefully in the future, you should check this site to see if anyone has tried to do the same thing you have.
