Car wash and Emblem is gone...
#16
$38 for an "RX 350" badge?!?! There has to be somewhere online that sells genuine ones for less than that.

No, I don't play soccer!
I wouldn't hold my breath about the car wash finding your 'X.' Even if they do, it could be damaged. You're better off buying another complete emblem so it sticks properly. Something might be wrong with the one on there now. Maybe the dealer will replace it for you. But $38 is really not that much compared to what you probably paid to have your RX hand washed. That's not cheap either. Next time ask them to tape it. Or better yet, wash it yourself.

I would go to the car wash and ask to look thru their box of things that have fallen off cars. I have a feeling your situation is not unique. Calling them is not reliable, because the person you get on the phone may not know how important your situation is, an not look good enough. Please keep us posted.

X replacement
What year is your RX? Out of warranty will cost you less that 15$ for oem and the font will be correct for your year. good luck.

I second Lexus of Rt 10 in NJ!
Just out of curiosity - which car wash in NJ? I went to one of the "best" and they took a power mirror off an X5 (that I had ALREADY folded in)…they denied it and refused to pay ANYTHING towards fixing it…talk about expensive car wash! You can PM me if you don't want to post on the board

So the other day I had to get something from the trunk of my RX.. and found the missing "X" on the carpet. It seems that when they were wiping down the car, it somehow came off and one of the workers put it there. Probably didnt bother to tell me to avoid problems..
Anyway so I found the missing "X".
Now, since I'm still under the CPO warranty, I went to the Lexus dealer and spoke to the service manager about just getting someone to glue it back on for me. Apparently, each letters comes with a sticky tape on the back and on mine it was no longer there. So I would have to spend $68 for the whole "RX 350" emblem and then they would be more then happy to do this. The "X" from mine had just some bits of double sided tape on it left. I also asked about the coverage of this under the warranty, their response was.. this is considered physical damage and it is not covered under warranty.
Just wanted to update everyone. Thanks for all your input.
