Question Looking for missing 97 Coach Edition pieces

Hi fellow LS400 owners! I am sooo glad this club exists! So I recently acquired a 97 Coach edition from an elderly man. When I bought it I was told it was a Coach edition. I looked on this forum for details. Looking at pictures, etc. I was very upset that initially it didn't look like mine was! There is no badge on the trunk and the floor mats don't have the special embroidered Coach logo. So I started thinking I was lied to. I called Hendrick Lexus in Charlotte, NC. I talked with a guy in the parts department who verified with my VIN number I have a Coach Edition! What a relief! This is another thing I learned about from Club Lexus. I would never have thought the parts dept. could tell me that kind of info. So I got back in my car and looked really hard at the arm rest and there it was. The COACH logo I had been missing. Anyway, I'm interested in a 2000 model and might sell this one.

How much, if any, do these missing items take from the value of the car?

Does anyone have a COACH trunk badge and gray COACH floor mats they would sell?

Thanks everyone!

No difference in selling price from a non-Coach Edition. The 5 spoke wheels on this edition may be more desirable for some because those were on the 98's. Machine finish preferred over the chrome.

I found a badge. Someone please tell me the measurements. I don't want to "eyeball" the placement.

Call a Lexus dealer,their collision catalog may have the information.

I did a quick search for the floor mats, but found none. There are a set of new Ivory ES300 Coach mats on eBay right now, so I'd keep an eye there, or perhaps contact the seller, as he may have other sets available..
