I would assume dealership, I purchased the coach emblems that come on es300's before and they were only a few dollars a piece.

Thanks, I have yet to try the dealerships, I thought it might be easier to purchase them online.

Dealership, yes.

So funny, guys are adding badges. I can't take 'em off fast enough...

Emblems, antennas, and windshield washer squirters- the bane of my existence.

Bob, I find it funny that this is going on as well? I had a fellow member here in Florida that added Platinum badges to his GS and it wasn't a Platinum Series? Please only add the badges if your car represents what it say's?

To answer your question, I think only the dealership carries them?

I agree. This is the same as Aristo badge conversions IMO. I don't think they look bad but it takes more then badges to make it a Aristo.

J-Spin it sounds like you may have a Platinum model, time to post up some pics!

I am looking to re-paint the "platinum" gs and want to replace the decals. Also, if I decide to sell it, I want people like you to feel good about themselves by debadging it.

Thanks to those who offered assistance!

I have silver emblems on black. I like the stock look and I would only switch to black pearl. If I were to shave, I would keep the "L" in the center.

I drive a Lexus. I want people to know that. Don't want car ignorant people thinking my car is a camry or honda.

Post some pics when you do, it looks like you've got the stock spoiler from your avatar pic and I've been wondering what it would look like with the stock spoiler and only the "L". I love that look with a 3-piece wing and a chrome trunk bar but my stock spoiler isn't going anywhere anytime soon and I've been contemplating the partial debadge.
