Default New Front Emblem

I didn't like the look of the stock front emblem, so I made a new one. Thoughts (besides it being slightly off-center, will fix that tonight)?

I'm not a fan, but that's okay since it's your car and should suit your likes. Personally, I like the OEM front emblem.

is that a decal or did you replace the whole emblem?

It sticks out a bit too much for my taste but i think its cool in that it is a unique custom one of one piece.

I feel the overexposed pic is probably not doing the emblem justice.

^ this, and perhaps consider a gloss black which might match the car better?

looks like a knock-off you'd pick up in the back alley in Chinatown. Get the black chrome oem one.

I agree with Tea on the black chrome... aka the "Pearl Black" Lexus emblems. I really want to do that with my obsidian black IS but to get a whole set OEM is about $400 . But honestly if you had more of a semi-gloss or gloss I think it would look great

Agree on the gloss. Consider painting the "L" gloss black and it should look good.
