Default Black Pearl

My '02 has black pearl emblems on Millennium Silver. Is that rare? I guess I just assumed all silver SC's came with black badging. I guess not eh? I like they way they look but had no idea this was something special.

You sure its not aftermarket? I dont think badges came in any other color than silver or gold. The gold plated badges cost extra but was an option if I remember.

That was an option sold by Lexus and after market. The Silver Milenium came with silver chrome emblems. I just replaced my rear center L logo with the Black Chome that I purchased from Sewell before they closed. I didn't want to do them all. I agree it looks good and your's is not common and is a nice mod.

These don't look aftermarket (but I guess it would be hard to tell). Excuse the yellow pollen, it's everywhere here right now.

There are companies that make those emblems readily available to dealerships & us regular customers. I had a customer in Dallas, whose company AGW, supplied emblems for all of Sewell's carplexes here locally.

Helogadget, yes I have black interior. How much do these cost? I saw them on Ebay for $299...is that a good price?

Not sure Keith. These were on my car when I bought it. I think I saw somewhere in a post that the genuine Lexus emblem kit was something like 300 and something dollars. One of the posts also said be careful of the Ebay ones as the sizes are incorrect.

Here's mine. I wanted the contrast only in the center. $59 from Sewell in my last order.
