Question Quick Question, Which One Looks Better?

When I can't find a genuine set of mats, I buy the generic custom sized mats and iron on these embroidered logos. Worked great in my ES, GS, LS, etc.

I have set of light beige mats matching the beige carpet trim in my savannah 04 IS200.

I have 2 colours of Lexus logos:
1. tan lettering on gold
2. beige lettering on dark charcoal.

I was first thinking to use 1, but now I see 2 in place I think 2 looks better ...?

Which colour looks better?

Tough choice, but I'd go for the black & white logo, as that will better match other components in the interior while being less clashing with the brown color like the other bottom logo version.

Agreed
While (1) the gold matches the beige carpet colour on the mats, and the brown lettering matches the tape trim edges on the mats ... but (2) the beige lexus letters 100% match the carpet and the dark charcoal 100% matches the dash and surrounds ...
Once I iron them on, theres no going back lol
