Black Pearl. Sorry for the PS. I wanted to see it before I installed them.

Default Well

I personally like the OEM Chrome on lighter colors as you have, and Black Pearl on darker color cars. Debadged, the rear end has way too much open metal space in my opinion

$500 to change the color of emblems? Ridiculous!

shawn, I agree with you that $500.00 to change the color of emblems is RIDICULOUS! Who said anything about $500? Did you get quoted that? If so, where? Wherever that is, don't do business with them .

Sorry, edited 4 spelling.

It was something around that price at the dealer for the whole set. It was about $150 per piece plus installation. I was like, "whatever!"

I would do either the Chrome or Black Pearl and take the V8 off but if it was my truck I would just leave it as is, how about taking everything aff except the Circle Lexus Symbol.

Is their away of putting the V8 badge on the front grill like Toyota does on the 4Runner and Sequoia.

My lexus dealer sold me the Circle Symbol for about 27 dollars, so 500 for the set is quite a profit.

Hate to say this but the truck from the back looks almost like a GMC Envoy from a distance so I would leave the Circle Symbol, hell you could always take it off.

LOL, EDGE2, my thought process exactly. Just wondering what other options I haven't thought about. The V8 on the front can be done (from what I've seen, ANYTHING can be done ), I haven't considered it though. Anyway, I'll post pics this weekend of the final decision. The weather here sucks right now. Lotsa rain.

I like the black pearl badges, but don't like how there is still chrome left on the truck (the grill and the stip above the rear plate.) Just not a fan of how it looks from the back with both the chrome and the black pearl.
