Default Black pearl emblems

got black pearl emblems front and back from the dealer. They can order for u in the parts dept. Not cheap, though. My dealer did a swap with the chrome ones... saved a few $. Good luck.

Hi Steve. Do you offer the whole kit just like the OEM one on the pics below? I need one for 04-06', since eariler LS430's have different grille and trunk emblem, if i'm not mistaken. Pics would be much appreciated.

Are you sure you don't want gold instead?

As I said, I used to sell them, but haven't been in that business in a few years. They are very nice looking, but they'e a little hard to find now, especially good quality ones. Lexus used to have OEM ones, but I don't believe they do anymore. You might be able to find a dealer that has them still in stock. Most of the aftermarket stuff came out of So. Cal, and then offshore from China. It is actually quite an amazing process. The black pearl ones are actually not plated like gold ones are, it is more of an oxidation. The color is so delicate before it is clear-coated that you can scratch it off with your fingernail. After they are cleared they are quite durable, as long as it is a quality clear.
The guys I used were in Santa Ana, Ca. If you're willing to make some phone calls, you can probably get some names. These platers won't likely sell to you directly, but they can probably give you some names of their customers who sell to the public.
And I would be very hesitant to put gold on. That is a very dated look that will hurt your re-sale value. Just my opinion-don't flame me.
