To answer your original post, call your local dearer or another dealer which isn't a sponsor on here.
To answer your edit post, because this is injected plastic, not rubber. I built these cars everyday, I can tell rubber from the actual stuff. Like mentioned in the first thread this does eventually wear off, whereas injection mold will not, even with stone chip's. There is a reason why Lexus didn't just coat their part's in rubber. I'll admit its a great contribution but in all honesty, you spend $25k-$45 on your lexus and then play Mr. Cheapskate and do a mod like that, if your going to do it, do it right the first time.

Being Mr. Cheapskate, i dont think so.
So painting them would also be considered being a cheap??? Some people cant afford to spend $300 on emblems alone when that money could be spent on a more intensive mod. i have my dealer for the emblems and he quoted me around $300 for them. Now on the other hand $60 isnt bad, but still 30 mins with this mod even if it has to be applied every other year is worth it, thats if it does wear off.

Or maybe I should have gotten a Civic for $15K. I betcha I could have afforded all the authentic mods I could dream of!

Guys knock off the "hate" comments people are entitled to share their opinions once it does not break rules.
He has a point and it should be respected even if you don't agree. FYI just b/c someone does not agree with how you think DOES NOT make them a "hater"
