Default Front emblem replacement?

I have a starfire pearl 2013 GS and I plan on getting my roof as well as chrome window trim/grille surround wrapped pretty soon. I couldn’t find any pictures online of anyone with a black front grille emblem or white one. I’m thinking about swapping mine after my car gets wrapped but I’m curious to see if anyone on here has changed their front emblem to black or possibly white?

White would be awful. If you are deleting chrome then go with black.

I wonder if one can replace the 2016 front emblem with that from previous generation &/or hear without affecting the dynamic cruise control/PC's??

check this video out of a guy installing a paint matched white one on his.

it’s actually not as bad as it sounds since the chrome on his grille has been blacked out. Even though I wouldn’t black out the front bumper like he did. But I’m curious to see how a black emblem would look

@Kingmatt24 i'd say go with the black front emblem (or tint your existing emblem) since I recall you did the blackout rear emblem and smoked reverse light.

A fellow member recently put up some really nice shots of his custom GS with body-colored emblem here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...oot-debut.html

thanks for the link. And yeah, since then I’ve also added a black spoiler and will be putting on a front lip next weekend so the black/white theme is strong. Kinda iffy on the white emblem so I’ll probably end up keeping the chrome or getting a black one instead
