How come some of the cars have that chrome L badge in the middle? I saw it on the Aussie car and thought maybe it came stock some years. THen he told me, it was aftermarket.
Then OLT (free publicity
) was saying on that thread about leaving the mark on your head if the airbag exploded.
Can someone shed some light on this? Appreciate the help.
Thanks. Just curious.

It isn't chrome. It's that chrome overlay on top of plastic/rubber (steering wheel material safety tested). An emblem is hard plastic, covered in chrome overlay which is a paint. If you grab an old emblem and scrape it flakes right off.

Mate the badge on the steering wheel isn't stock for sure (remember, it's a SOARER in Australia being all JDM spec, no official Lexus imports here). I myself am looking currently for a late model SC400 steering wheel (3-spoke) or out of a GS300 (also 3-spoke, but not chrome emblem)... imo looks nicer than the current brick.

I'm curious to why you didn't just ask the owner in this original thread...
