Default Lexus Emblem on Rear Headrest

My next project: Lexus Emblem on Rear Headrest

Seen it on a Japanese Soarer video. Looks good. I will do it this weekend.

In case you are wondering where to get the emblems...that's the key.

I shall do a DIY.

I thought about doing this but was apprehensive because I didn't want it to look like overkill. Thanks for the visual! Looks pretty good!

The Lexus emblems came from the Lexus center caps, just in case somebody's interested.

I'm fairly new to the SC world but I don't think I have ever seen an SC without the headrest emblems.

The emblems on the front seats are standard. No emblems on the rear headrest.

Oops, yes you are correct. Also, I double checked and they are actually on the seat back as opposed to the headrest. I think what you did looks great. Where do you guys come up with all these ideas?

Hey, that looks really nice!

If you don't mind, i wanted to ask how you got the logos to look so nice? Did you simply pry off the logo from a center cap? I've been looking for some logos that size for a couple of projects, and those seem perfect. Were they easy to remove? i'm thinking i could pick up some used ones from ebay. Thanks.

Maybe there’s an aesthetic reason for this...

For me, front seats only is more than enough.
Just my humble opinion...
