It has already been done.
Someone in here had it wrapped in black vinyl.
Black chrome vinyl is avalible to buy from 3M

Looks great! I especially like the one in the front, gives the emblem some definition.

i heard you can plastidip them to black pearl. The emblem kit from Lexus is pretty overpriced IMO. Has anyone tried plasti dip?

Plastidip will never become pearl
But yeah, you can plasidip them black, if you don't care about the finish.

I don't think $311 for quality OEM emblems for a car of this calibre is overpriced.

With CL Discount it's $311.00 for the Set.
Is there a code for CL discount with Sewell?

When you resister on Sewell's site it will ask if you are affiliated with any clubs/organizations. Just choose Club Lexus and then you will get the discount pricing always.

Thumbs up

Those wondering this was first done on a 2013 GS350.....

The front "L" bracket holder is directly off the current GX460 .. You will also need the front "L" emblem in regular or black chrome to execute this look..



Personally, I love this classic 3D look ... I dis-like these newer emblems encased in the resin plastic...

No More Chrome, all black everything on my GS350 FSport

9018306044 = nut spring ($0.61 each); you need two of them.
5314260011 = Base, Radiator Grille Emblem ($25.61)
9097502083 = Emblem, Radiator Grille (or Front Panel) ($37.05)

Use this so you get the right emblems:



Use this so you know what Nuts to get:




Enjoy!
