The ones from Sewell seem to fade. I bought mine from L-tunedparts(Carson) and have no problem with fade.

Sorry I should have stated:

Mine came from Superstition Springs Lexus, not Sewell

I have had mine for about 2 years now. The rear emblems are still perfectly fine, maybe a few knicks here and there. The front is trashed. I may pull off one day and repaint it. Wished I had added another coat of clear before installing in the first place.

Has anyone tried clearbraing their emblems? Especially the front? I guess it may looks odd, since it will be shiny.

Great, mine are arriving from Sewell tomorrow. At least they don't give you static about returning them, but taking the emblems on and off again would be an inconvenience. We'll see...

I have had mine on for 4 months no problems. for the rear ones i just bought them brand new and painted them myself looks great and its a darker shade than the black pearl ones. the front is holding up ok but has a few small rock chips.
