Default replace front/rear Lexus emblems with Toyota?

2002 Lexus Rx300

I'd like to replace front and rear Lexus "L" emblems with Toyota emblems. Any idea which Toyota emblems I need to purchase and where online I can get them? Any idea if this is possible?

haha but don't you ever feel that way, for real? I don't want everyone to know I have a choice of a Lexus or a BMW that I drive to work, many seem to resent that fact, when I am yelling at the staff and docking their pay!

If you're trying to appear more modest, you shouldn't worry.

An '02 RX isn't a car anybody looks at twice let alone once. It screams "I'm an asian mom" and that's all.

This is an alternate part if it's pedestrian that's desired

I'd laugh at you actually, if I saw your car on the street. It was sold as a Lexus here, who gives a flying **** that the JDM model was a Toyota. Now if you had a RHD model from Japan with Toyota Harrier badges, then that's a different thing. Its a 15 year old SUV, who gives a crap or who is going to give it a 2nd look anyways.

Also if you change the exterior Toyota badges, its still going to say LEXUS in 20 different other places, like the door sills, underhood stickers, door jamb sticker, steering wheel, floor mats, wheel center caps, maybe the center display. Come to think of it, Lexus was almost as good as Cadillac in making sure you saw the L logo or Lexus name all over the car.
