I most likely won't use all the emblems - just keep the "F" logo and the Lexus trunk badge, remove the rest.
Your going to have a hole behind the "I" unless you fill up your trunk.

What is the "process" they go through to make them black chrome? Just nightshade spray like the DIY?

NOT me!

I guess I'll just be painting the emblems myself since I don't plan to use all of them anyways....


ExclusivIS: thanks for the info - what I meant to say was I planned to keep the "IS-F" but remove the word "LEXUS" on the bottom left. Dunno why Lexus does that since we already have the big "L" Logo in the middle. Same reason why people by License plate frames with the brand name when we clearly know the brand, or worse yet get a vanity plate saying the same thing

You will need to fill the holes on the trunk where "Lexus" is then, just FYI.

Oh and:

True black chrome is oxidized chromium. There are lots of ways to imitate it, but nothing lasts as well.

In fact, I got a complete set of BP emblems for my car on ebay for like $85 shipped buy-it-now, when everyone else wanted $270. And it was even from a lexus dealership (superstition springs lexus).
Damn YOU! haha... I remember seeing their auction about 2 years ago. I missed out on the deal and tried to get them to offer something similar and got no dice.

That is a legit dealership though... How do I know... I bought my ride from them hahaha

HAHA...Your a funny guy. You can't do this, it won't work sorry. Closest thing you MAY be able to do is have a vinyl sticker made to put on your CALIPER.
