before I had a pearl 96 es300 about 110K miles on it and in decent condition. Then I was hit by a drunk driver and my car was totaled. Now about 8 months later I just got a pearl 93 es300 with 82K miles on it and in excellent condition. No scratches, perfect seats, and interior. Now there are a few things i'd like to do to get it in theshape i want it.
1. I want to replace the faded gold emblems, which i hate with nice chrome ones. I'm pretty confident how to do this i just need to know, where can I find a set cheap? and does the "es300" badge on the back light come off without leaving a depressed look on the backlight?

2. I want to replace the yellow fogs. I know some ppl are fans of the yellow fogs but I'm not one of them. I want to get some piaa white fogs. How easy is it to replace the fogs??

Those are my specific questions I've had a hard time finding searching the forums. If you could help that would eb greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

 

1. You can find them on Ebay... They are on there from time to time. Tail light emblem will have an identation if I'm not mistaken.

2. You can swap out the yellow fogs for the 95-96 clear square ones.... but you will have to also get that 95-96 grill. If you are DIY inclined, you can clear out the yellow in the current fogs you have via the headlight oven method, check the DIY thread at the top of this forum for more info on that.

 

You could also try Lextasy.com for the emblems.

 

Buyer beware of lextasy.com. Search the forums for the numerous problems with the business practices they have there. Explains why they were banned from ClubLexus several years ago and IS300.net. That should tell you something.

 

thanks for the input guys. Does anyone know for sure on the 93 Model if the ES 300 comes off the taillight without a trace??

 

I don't personally know anyone who's done it, but the 'ES300' badge is removable from the tailight, but will leave a raised surface on the tailight where the badge was removed. It won't look right. Also, the tailights from the '95-'96 ES are not interchangeable with a '92-'94 ES since the physical dimensions are different on both of them.
