Default Black Pearl emblems...

I asked my dealer what the black pearl emblems cost for my car (IS350) and get this, $800! In the nicest way i said, ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME, THEY ARE JUST EMBLEMS, THATS THE PRICE OF 2 IPODS, and walked away...what have you guys paid, if you got new emblems?

O, one more thing, i was telling the dealer that i might get an exhaust system, and she offered me the HKS exhaust system, through lexus, she said it has been out for a week and i can get it in a week if i want so i guess all that talk about them not offering it anymore is just BS...

when you guys got the black pearl emblems, did you get new emblems or have your old ones painted?

The dealer will take a set of emblems have it black pearled and when you buy a set you will need to exchange the ones on your car out. And then they will have your old set be black pearled for the next customer.

Default r6Z9r is exactly right...

I paid $750 plus tax for the 3M clear front bra & BP emblems. The lettering is cheap plastic crap held on with an adhesive that you could roll off with the tip of your finger. They are slid into the post holes, not glued into them. The same as the OEM chrome badging. Horribly low quality.

The best part of the BPE set is the replacement of the large, circled "L" logos on both your front grille and trunk lid. THAT looks great, and appears to be very securely attached.

My car is in the IS with both the black pearl emblems on the SGM exterior, and then debadged.
