Default Gold Emblems

Do the gold emblems on these SCs mean they have more options or something even though they look hideous (lol to each their own cup of tea i guess)? Just wondering cause I know for instance on like a honda accord the gold emblems symbolize special edition.

No. Other than the gold package which Lexus charges an extra grand for.

Oh, and there is the status of having the gold emblems on the car.

Our plant manager thinks the "gold package" is the ****s. Maybe it makes his d**k bigger?

personallyi think the gold emblems have their place on some cars.

they do not go well with red--or blue---or green or most colors.

but they do go well on some white cars and i was actually thinking of seeing how they look on my sandstone beige sc---which is almost a gold color itself.

ive also seen them look good on a black one as well

i guess it just comes down to taste as the op said and the theme of the car

They are gold plated with actual gold. What karat I have no idea.

And they only look decent on 90's luxury white cars. Nothing worse than a 2011 somethingorother with dated gold emblems.

I'm pretty sure the gold package was more than just gold emblems. I think I read somewhere that it included "performance" exhaust, chrome wheels, and gold emblems. I think the heated seats might be in there too

Gold package included:

Gold emblems
Gold antenna base
Gold center cap logos
Gold exhaust tips

There's a lot involved in getting all the gold off your car haha

I just left the Gold L emblem in the front and back as well as the antenna base, I think it looks pretty good on red
