Default Question about the black chrome emblems

Hi folks, just wondering if any of you can help with a query I've got please!

Basically I'm just doing some changes to some cosmetic things on my car and have been looking at the black chrome badges that Carson offer.

Do any of you have the part number for these or are they actually just the standard emblems that have been treated afterwards so they have the black chrome effect?

I've supposedly got a 10th Anniversary grille on the way but I cannot find the part numbers for the emblems anywhere in the EPC!

I've actually ordered the standard chrome Aristo & Toyota emblems so that gives me the option of getting them done somewhere local when they arrive!

Thanks in advance

I believe you can black chrome your own w/ some tint spray and some clear coating..

Cheers guys - totally with you on the headlights - they're really nice but at that price I'd definitely look at buying a set off eBay from Japan that are black but with the CCFL halos in there already for about a quarter of the price!

I've got all the chrome emblems on their way now so I'm going to see what I can do when they turn up but have seen a few messages now on about the tint spray and lacquer so that could be a good choice

Well I got the black chrome grille from Toyota today, I've currently got the full set of standard chrome Aristo badges too so now it's time to decide which one is going on!

Bugger the emblem I ordered doesn't fit the 10th Anniversary grille!

I ordered 75311-30320 which is the Toyota badge - I'm thinking maybe 75311‑30360 is the type that fits this grille?

Have any of you got the part number for the Lexus or Toyota badge that you fitted to this grille please?

I'm guessing the Lexus badge is 75311‑30350 for the new grille?

Thanks in advance!

I ordered the Toyota chrome one in the end from Toyota, it's on the way from Japan, the first one I tried was the part no for the pre 01 cars and didn't fit the newer grille, fingers crossed this one will!

The one I originally tried was 75311‑30320 which the EPC shows as the Vertex Edition badge which I guessed was black - but it wasn't!

75311‑30360 is on it's way which I'm hoping is the newer style!
