The OEM ones are pricey. I just had my Lexus logo dipped and the rest taken off. But on a black car, black pearl emblems look sweet. Stealth.

I got these oem ones from ebay $30 and they look pretty legit, I got them because my car was missing the GS 300 emblem. 2yrs later and it still looks like the others on my trunk.

Here's the link http://www.ebay.com/itm/02-LEXUS-GS3...27707932702636
