I was just thinking about the 300 to get people guessing but if anything i would get them in black pearl and leave all the emblems on stock

I just got my back panel replaced from my hit and run... i could only manage to attach one file.

but you can see the picture of the holes for the emblem. Now I need to take the emblems off my old panel and put them on the new one to fill in the holes... Yea I'd pick up some black pearl emblems if they were on sale again.

anyone have advice on take off the emblems without damaging.. so i can reuse them on my new panel?

^^^ Your going to need floss or fishing line and a heat gun or hair dryer. Sometimes you can just go "saw-style" and go back and forth with the floss or fishing line slowly but heating it up a bit with the blow dryer helps soften the glue a bit. Then use a bug & tar remover to take the excess glue out.

Then purchase some double sided tape, the thin ones, and re-apply to the new trunk. Good luck.

Why dont you PM darrel from sewell lexus and maybe he will honor the group buy
price, also if you return your old emblems he will give you a 50dls core discount on top of the group buy price. If that doesn't work I have the special tool to take the emblems out, I got it when I bought my black pearl kit. If you need it just PM me and I will send it to you, I dont think I need it anymore

Seriously...$85 shipped. It was part of their "summer blow out sale" (even though summer had just started). It was only available on ebay...I tried calling them, and they said they wouldn't honor the price in house or anything.

No, they didn't mention when it ended. They had a few on ebay, and then they said that would be it. If you search their feedback, and go back to the month of may, you will see the feedback for different sets at $79 + shipping BIN

In regard to the tint...I don't want to get off-topic, but I had to have my driver's window redone due to it lifting on the bottom, and my tint guy said it was due to the sharp curvature of the front windows.
