do you mean the black pearl emblems? they're not exactly full black though. you can buy those through any lexus dealer or look for ppl selling them on these car forums...i think they run about $150-200ish through the dealer though. (someone please correct me if i'm wrong.) you can also get your current emblems anodized. i know someone who did that at a local lexus dealer. i think they paid $20 per emblem that was anodized.
as for neil's roof spoiler and trunk spoiler, you should ask him.

the L-tuned is a 4 piece body kit....front bumper, side skirts, rear bumper bottom lip...
was worth it to me, I wanted the kit and the look.....I got it last winter thru a southern California Lexus Dealer who got it thru TRD USA

or, if you just like the look and don't need authentic L-tuned, you can get the carson-tuned bodykit, which is also made in japan, looks VERY similar (since it's a "knock-off" of the L-tuned kit) and is super flexible. again, contact carson toyota for that kit...i think it's running $1800 painted...

Whoops, I guess I wasn't very clear. I just wanted to know how much the black pearl emblems cost. I see the $178 figure below but is that for the black pear Lexus badges or the L-Tuned badges?

Supply and demand.....
many IS300 owners inquired last year about the L-tuned kit, and since it was discontinued, Parts Manager Steve Ganz at Carson Toyota took matters into his own hands and created "carson tuned"
This new kit is made in Japan using a hybrid material. The kits are hand made to U.S. specs using a material called FRP, or fiberglass reinforced plastic. The result is a lightweight hightly flexible molded part with a perfect fitment on the IS300
