Default New Black Pearl Emblems

I called Sewell Lexus to order some black chrome, they call it black gold, but they don't have a part number for them. Unfortunately, they never called back like they said. So I called my local stealer and they quoted me a ridiculous price. But I had my mind made up, I wanted them - so I paid their price. Feast your eyes...









I think they will look great on a black or white rig. I'll post a pic when I'm done installing them.

Edit - thanks for the correction T4.

Carlsbad Lexus just made me a customer for life....

Keep in mind I've ordered tons of parts from this dealership. None of them run of the mill type parts.

When I called to ask about the over $200 difference from one dealer to another - I started to get the spin job. I stopped him and said I was simply disheartened and stated I would take my future business elsewhere. We parted ways with the understanding I would be returning these emblems.

The parts manager called me back to apologize for the misunderstanding and offered a more than fair deal - "what do you want to pay for these sir, I'd like to keep you a happy customer?" I told him $295 plus tax like the other dealerships. He said how about 300 even and refunded the balance.

It's refreshing to be on the receiving end of great customer service.

Plastidip is a cheaper option, if you dare:
