Default SC Emblems for blank center caps...opinions please

So I found these SC emblems that will fit the blank center caps for my g35 rims. I can't seem to find the Lexus "L"...

I'm thinking they may look a bit cheesy...
Your opinions?

would be pretty cool to put on a trunk lid to replace the factory sc300/sc400 emblem, though. small and subtle for that.

Lol!
Does anyone know where to get the Lexus "L" for center caps? The more I look at these the more I don't think I want them, but I don't want to just run blank center caps...

I bought (or more accurately my son did before he gave the SC back to me) "new" center caps. I put the "new" in quotes as it turns out the emblems appear to have been recycled from recovered caps (as the plastic L's have dents and scratches).

I have the original caps with the L's where the paint faded but the Ls are not too bad.

The replacement caps were repainted and plastic L's were glued back into place.

Get a local sign shop to cut some out of vinyl. Pick a nice contrasting color -- say, gunmetal or even carbon fiber -- and it'll look great.

Sounds good. I'm probably gonna pick up those black ones they sell on ebay & just slap them on the blank chrome centers. Thanks for the input, guys!

Try doing a quick search...I seem to remember seeing a few threads on center caps for the TT wheels.
