Default Get It While Its Hot!

I finally got around to debadging the the GX. I guess living on a HOT island has its advantages... it was very hot today, so I started taking off the badges. Surprisingly they came off in about 15 min total. I used Oral B mint floss and they came off with so much ease. A little mothers cleaner wax and all residue came off with ease as well. Anyway, here are a couple of shots of the progress. 1st - V8 gone. 2nd - Lexus gone. 3rd - GX470 gone. 4th - all gone and 5th black pearl L. I ran out of time to put the lexus and GX470 black pearl emblems on - had to go to a bar-b-q - so I'll be driving with just the L for now. I will definitely NOT put the V8 black pearl emblem on.

Where did you buy your black pearl emblems? I want to get some too. Also, can you tell me how much/where? Thanks.

Default Pearl black emblem on black or dark color RX, GX, or LX

Has anyone gotten black pearl emblems on a black color or dark color Lexus SUV. Can you post pics? Just wondering how it looks.

03,

Do a search in the forums area for black pearl emblems. Its been done before on other vehicles. I'm not sure if its been done on an SUV.

Thumbs up Black Pearl always looks great on silver

Looks great. I think Black Pearl emblems look the best on silver vehicles.
