hey, nice pics, but what did you do with the emblems on your car?
did you paint them black or are those the black pearl emblems?

Me and my buddy painted them black.
Sanded the badges took a looong time because the badges are metal plated I think. It was really hard to get all the chrome off. After that, sprayed 2 - 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint, and then finally 3 coats of clearcoat. Between each coat, we waited for about 10 minutes or longer. The paint/primer/clearcoat are just some basic ones found in your local automotive store. I couldn't find an exact can of 0202 (black onyx) so I just settled for a universal black.

Hello, I didn't know there was a LEXUS meeting at Toronto.

I am living at Toronto and love to meet people.

Can anyone inform me for the next meeting?
