Default Is250/is350 emblem help.

Been running my blitz grille emblemless for a while now, mostly because the whole emblem is chrome. THe emblem i have there is no contrast between the L and the background.

I am looking for something like this (carbon fiber inserts)

However I heard the front and rears are different, is this true? I am mainly looking for the front. But definitely wouldnt mind buying both front and rear.

If anyone knows a better place to get them let me know.

THANKS!

Yes the front and rear emblems are actually different sizes. The front emblems are slightly bigger than the rear. If you buy the cf inserts from eBay they will only fit the rear. What I did was I purchased the rear emblems from the stealership and epoxied the inserts to the emblem and slapped em on. Also IMO, if you buy the inserts from eBay get the inserts from the US mainland stores thats the inserts only. There's one from Thailand that sells the inserts with the "L" emblem but the quality isnt that great. The cf still shows the resin, it looks more greenish, and the emblem isn't the real Lexus emblem. It's a look alike that's more edgy, not curvy.
