Question Best place to get toyota emblems for front and back?

I have no doubts that this question could spark a huge debate, as I've read other threads on the topic of rebadging a Lexus as a Toyota. This thread is just to ask where you all would suggest is the cheapest and quickest place to buy silver Toyota emblems to replace the L in the grille and on the tailgate of an '04 RX330? A few searches turned up fruitless!

Regards!

I don't know about the 2nd gen but the 1st gen was sold as a Toyota in Japan as the Toyota Harrier. It was funny, guys in North America were putting on Harrier badges and guys in Japan were installing Lexus badges.

I think the 1gen Harrier badges might be adapted to the 2gen, check in the 1gen forum.

Preference. Worth is subjective just as it is on any topic.

These just in, straight from Japan. The real deal.

Also got the toyota rear badge, but didn't shoot it because it looks like a toyota badge. Same with the wheel caps!

Did you order the Harrier grill badge through Ebay? How much was it?

Does the eagle only come in gold? (I'd prefer silver for my 2005 RX330 Thundercloud Metallic

Thanks!

That is cool. How difficult is it to replace the original with the new Harrier badge?

Extremely easy.

I bought it from JP-Carparts.com for something like 45 plus shipping., so 50-60ish shipped for authentic OEM Toyota Japan.

Can you tell me the part number for the Harrier grill emblem from JP Carparts? Less than $60 shipped is a good price!

Did you see the Harrier door sill plates? There is a set on ebay.

Oh man would I love those. All the Toyota badges get kinda overwhelmed at night when you open the doors and see four big LEXUS glowing at you. I don't think I'd be willing to drop more than $200 on that right now though
