Angry my ES got vandalized

whata tragedy. someone went through the trouble of removing the "L" marks off of all of the lexus cars parked in the parking lot. worse part is, this thief couldn't get my front emblem off correctly....when he/she pried it, it broke in half and so he/she decided to leave the broken part on the ground and went to work on the back. how much are emblems (2) these days? whatabout a complete set of the black pearl ones from the dealer? i'm not about to go on ebay and bid my emblems back to me. i might just visit the body shop to shave it all off. in the meantime, this is a bad week for me.

sorry to hear that mezoom.

hope you find whoever did it. do you have any idea who it coulda been?

hope your paint wasn't hurt too much either. since that'd cost a bit to repaint your hood/trunk. hope you find some new badges.

Sorry to hear that.

Like someone said before, try checking out the junkyards to see if you can find any for a really inexpensive price. Good Luck.

Hey MeZoom,

Sorry to hear about someone vandalizing the emblems on your Lex. That happened to my Acura Integra in Los Angeles in the underground parking lot of the LA Convention Center. Next time I go to LA, I will be driving my old '89 Toyota Truck!

In reference to your Pearl Black emblems, I have a COMPLETE set of emblems that I replaced with 24K gold on my 1999 ES300. I do not know if they are the same size as your '95 ones but if you are interested, I will sell them to you. They are in nearly perfect shape! If you are interested, please PM me or send me an e-mail to: CaptainRatman68@***.net.

Scott.

they aren't too expensive. I would check with the dealer mezoom so you can see if his will fit your car. They should I think, but make sure. If they do, buy his I say, that would be cool

****tt mezoom, sorry to hear that....but on the bright side at least we know the "L" emblem says a lot

---BTW, CL is pretty advanced it automatically censors profanities and **** like that.

thanks guys for all of your responses. i think if i DO get a set of emblems, they will be the last i ever buy, since this is not the first time mine have been yanked. someone remind me please, if my next pair get stolen, that i am going to shave them off all together. or maybe i will just get it done now. ***currently contemplating***

good to see ya captain ratman

Thumbs up Your Best Bet

Thanks MeZoom........haven't been on in a while. If you don't have a 2nd car (urban assult vehicle) then maybe you should leave off the emblems but my offer still stands if you want to buy my pearl black ones. I will cut ya a good deal just in-case you change your mind.

Scott.

Here's a thought after seeing Eric's post on another thread. Why don't you put some Windom emblems on the car? I don't think anyone will bother stealing those, most theifs would be like WTF.
