I really like the back. The front looks ok. I think I am going to paint the front emblems to match the grill. They are actually a highgloss black, you just can't tell from the pictures.

UPDATE: I changed the color of the emblem up front to Graphite from Black.

Opinions?

I think "the black out look" applies better on darker color cars. I've seen it on several black GS's and RX's and it looks pretty good. Kind of stealth looking. Alternative is to remove all the rear emblems or try painting the rears white to match the car.

I agree... black / black pearl badging looks better on dark cars IMO. I like silver on white.

How about white on the front? I've been getting many compliments on the rear emblems, the front ones are in question for me.

Thanks for the feedback though.

black on rear looks ok.
but not on front grill.

is the front grill emblem removable?

IronCobra

Yes, it's EASY EASY EASY to remove. 1 screw and then to tabs.. Very easy.

I repainted the front emblem Graphite.. it looks soo much better. I like the black on the back though.

I dig it. I did the same on my gs3 a few years back. I used satin finish though. I still get compliments.

IronCobra

ok, I painted the front emblem from Black to Graphite (pictures updated at top of thread). I also took better pictures in the sun.

What do you all think?

The front looks good, now if you can paint the rear the same I think it might look better.
I was at Port Aransas last weekend and did not see "sun" for several days at all. You're sure is sunny now???

Last Friday and Sat were nasty out but Sundays was great! Today was nice after the downpoor we had this morning.

You wanna buy some Ultra Lux chrome rims for your LS with brand new tires?

I bought 19" SSR Vienna 3 months ago, but thanks for asking.

Black pearl emblems look hot. Did the same thing to my 2006 LS 430, front and back emblems. Looks killer on Flint Mica. Very subdued. Thinking of black pearl for the grill, no chrome. Any suggestions where to find? I'm in South Florida.
