www.l-tunedparts.com (where I got mine), www.lexus-parts.com (use our CL discount) or your local Lexus dealer (usually more $$$)

If you don't see it on the websites, just call them. They come in FOUR pieces. Lexus, Lexus "L", "GS" and "400" or "300" or "430"

5 pieces if you count the front grill emblem.

You will need 5 pieces but I dont think the carson comes with an extra L for the front emblem. Someone just posted an ebay link where someone was selling the black pearl for around $55 but I think it may have been for a 300

You can also do this DIY by painting them yourselves. They turn out pretty good, here's a link where some of the SC guys painted theirs.

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=149122

Note - the GS does not have the same alignment holes as the SC (emblems are held on only by adhesive). If you pull them off to paint them (or even replace them), I'd encourage you to mark the area off with masking tape to make sure you get them back on in exactly the right spot.

whatever you do dont buy the ones off ebay... a week on your trunk and they are finished... the rear tape backing is ****ty.,. its like the home type double sided tape, the emblems are plastic, and the only way i ever see them lasting is if you clear coat them... but fk that... get the good ones.plus the ebay ones are off size... the big lexus lettering is bigger thn the gs300 piece... so crappy.. ugh
