Default Removing gold emblems? LS 430 '03

I have a pearl colored LS 430 and i personally find the gold emblems on the grill and rear of the car unappealing. Is there some type of way i could order chrome ones, remove the gold ones, and put the chrome ones on? Or could I have a shop paint them chrome or something of that nature? I encourage any input, I appreciate it all.

I have a pearl white 430 that came with all gold

I ended up getting the chrome emblems direct from the Lexus parts department. And replacing them...

Wasn't to bad. This was a while ago sorry don't even remember what it cost me

order them from a sponser on this forum and get a discount.to remove your gold ones heat up the old ones with a hair drier and a piece of dental floss and work it under the emblem and have someone lift up at the same time and it will come off.

Price on Sewell for Club Lexus members for chrome badges is $100. The black pearl set is $288.

I'm not quite sure if my emblem is a part of my grill. It doesn't seem like it. If it was would it be something a paint/body shop could do about it?

I have a 01 and I had gold emblems also. The front emblem is in the grill but held in by 1 screw and easy to remove. The back emblems are easy also. I ordered my emblems from eBay at a decent price.

You can buy Black Pearl from Sewell for $135. There is one more set left at this price. Here it is a link to their closeout page

Hi all - proud new Lexus owner of a 2003 LS 430 UL, 1st time poster. The deal I secured required one compromise - the gold emblem package. I see above that Sewell discounts the chrome badges for members. How do I secure this discount?

Thanks!

Thanks! That saved me $37 on the chrome badging set. I also picked up the custom sunscreen for a very reasonable $25.
