Default Emblems

Hey gang I am checking to see if anyone shaved their rear emblems and wanted to get rid of them. Need the "Lexus", "GS" and the "430", they are normally only in the classifieds if they are the Black Pearl which I don't want. I think the RX and the SC emblems may be the same size , if someone knows for sure! Thanks

I have the Lexus, and the GS, but for some reason I can't find the 430. I know I must have it around somewhere, since it did come off the car. I'd be happy to sell them for not much once that 430 piece turns up. All standard chrome, by the way.

I do have the full set of chrome rear emblems for GS430 (2001). That includes the "LEXUS", "L" emblem, "GS" and "430". They are without the adhesive obviously, since they have been removed, but they are in perfect condition (CA car). PM me if interested.

Try eBay, it is loaded with them as full sets or separately, new and used.

I was looking on eBay, most of those prices are outrageous! I tried a local salvage yard but they said I have to get them from the dealer, I figure because they want to sell the trunk complete.

The ease of just being able the peel and stick makes it worth it in my opinion. Buying used ones and trying to figure out the best way to put them on is too much of a hassle to me.

I agree on the sentiment above.

I changed my Camry badges and even 3m Emblem adhesive did not make it through the car wash.

Anyone who HAS reapplied badges, what did you use?

I also will have a set of GS430 badges from a 01 with 52k for sale soon.

I still can't find my 430 badge. >

But they make a good point above about it being a bother to try and re-stick used badges.
