Default need help with black pearl emblem

hey guys looking to get the black pearl emblem for just the FRONT only. it looks like Sewell parts has discontinued the black pearl emblems for the 3IS for now. I was looking on ebay and I see they have a GS and ES black pearl front ONLY emblem that looks pretty much identical to the one on the IS. if I bought one of these, would they be able to fit my IS? im assuming the logos are the same size but the bumpers are also different so idk.

Is it made out of gold or what? $300 for emblem is crazy expensive even if it's a kit.

yeah exactly why I wouldn't get the entire kit. way to expensive. the only one I feel worth paying for is the Front only. but cant seem to find it anywhere for the IS. does anyone know if the GS or ES front emblem will fit the IS? they look the same

Did you try calling Sewell Lexus, they are pretty helpful and will help you find the part pretty easily.

I emailed Sewell asking about the emblem, here is their reply dated 25 February:

We are currently refining the process of packaging the black pearl emblems and should list them again shortly.



Thanks for your patience.

They were having packaging issues resulting in many emblems arriving scratched up.
