Thanks, I got it here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/386284665123

Also, I just got the windows tinted and slightly tinted the L logo on the trunk myself. Looks so good! And yes, I know she is dirty, going to give her a nice detail right now!

I opted for the transparent version of the is500 badge.

I have to say though, black looks pretty slick.

When tire rack is letting go of old stock and you can't help yourself...

On the contrary, if anyone is looking for decent tires for 75% off check tire rack. These are advertised as 2020 manufacture date and are from early 22. 156 bucks a tire for 295 Bridgestone re050a tires and a whole pile of other performance tires in similar sizes.

That black logo looks sharp! I'm considering it for mine.. Did you replace yourself or have someone do it? What was the process of removing the factory logo? I'm scared I'll damage the paint..

Not on the stock 9½" wheel. The largest size recommend for that width wheel is 285/30/19.

I picked mine up from Xpel Houston. They put on full front PPF and Ceramic coated everything. They did a good job I recommend.

I swapped out my right scoop/garish that was damaged when I hit a Home Depot heavy duty plastic bucket going 60 MPH. You can see where the crack on the old one was and some clips behind it were broken too. You couldn't really see the crack while installed but I knew it was there and my eyes always looked at that area as I walked up to the car. Now all is good in the world again!
