By the way bacardi it looks great, maybe I should debadge the back of "her" car. I took off the front one a while ago and she never missed it. At least not yet.
I know you said it was green, but your pics keep saying black. Must be in the camera! lol
Hi Ed

How you doing?

I didn't debadge the rear, just sprayed mine with Plasti Dip. Looks good on a dark colour I think and when I am fed up with it, I can just peel it off. Seen it done on a white car and looks great. Opposite to debadging but easy to do.

Very best Steve

Yes plasti-drip. Need to look into this. A friend's IS250's rear (he had a Silver) was done the same way and I must say, looking good.

Hi Mandyfig

Search the forum for Plasti Dip. There is a huge post on how it's done and it really is as easy as it looks.
There are some posts of members who think it's a cop-out, but I think it's cool.

Best regards Steve

I don't have to paint mine cause I have the black pearl emblems. That is one reason I'm not in a hurry to debadge the rear.

No, don't take off the Black Pearl emblems, didn't realise you had them, but if you do send then to me please. lol

Red tint. You can find it precut on ebay for about $20. You can either install it yourself or pay a tint shop to do it. I paid $40 to have it installed. I watched him do it and it was worth paying someone. Looked like a pain in the *** getting all the bubbles out.

I have been looking at getting a set of the black pearl emblems. They are on clearance @ Sewell. They do look good Ed! Now you got me in trouble.

Awesome! Thanks. I don't think I will be copying your style, but I thought it was a really unique look on the SC I hadn't seen before. Good idea.

I don't want the emblems... but I am curious about Sewell.. how do you access their parts, or know whats on clearance? Their website didn't seem to show anything... unless I am looking in the wrong place.
