Default My first little mod

Im debating whether to just leave them off, put just a Pearl black "L" back on or go ahead and purchase the black pearl emblems set. What do u guys think?

thx ... ive also got the TRD grill and tint all around ... i love the blk on white ... and by getting the tint, the pillars just vanish into the windows and it *seems* like you have massive wondows (well, to on-lookers anyhow)

anyhow: WELCOME! its good to see another white IS300, so many are silver ... what year is yours? what package did urs come with? [if any]

A hot blow dryer will soften up the adhesive too, but there are solvents made for emblems that are safe for the paint.
