Ok so i want to take my emblems off but i dont know how. I went to the dealer and they said that there are holes that show up after so how do i take my emblems off?

 

You can heat up the glue with a hair dryer and take fishing line or floss and peel off the emblem slowly. Goo gone to get rid of any residue. Not sure about holes.

 

not sure about holes either but I'm 99% sure there are none. I did the same process as above to my IS300 and few other cars. Im pretty sure emblems on the 2IS are just double sided. No holes.

 

There are def holes. I started to remove mines and found out the hard way

 

Yes, there are definitely holes. You'll need to have a body shop fill them if you're trying to get a clean look.

 

I was planning to paint my emblems black
soo if i took it off would i be able to put it back on through the holes?

 

Yeah there's holes for sure. If you take it off, you'll be able to put them back on.

 

How do you cover the holes? do uhave to take it to a body shop? and how much does it cost?

 

Are there holes for all of the emblems? My guess would be only the lexus L emblem but it sounds like their on all of the emblems.

 

Hey CyberEye, if you're looking to remove your emblems and paint them black you should read DJ Amtrax's posting as he did his emblems himself.

No, there are 6 holes total. 2 on the L emblem, 2 on the LEXUS, 1 on the S, and 1 on the 5. There's a thread somwhere floatin around that JavyLSU took pictures of the pegs on the back of some of the emblems.

 

I am actually filling the holes as we speak.. I just added the touchup blobs and left it to dry over the bondo filled holes and I will sand them down and compound and polish the whole trunk piece to a swirl free finish.

 

PapaHoFF how much did that cost? Also im just trying to remove my emblems i dont want to paint them

 

I dont remember. If you dont have a polisher like the PC or similar I dont recommend doing it yourself.

Basically any local store like pepboys, autobarn etc carry the materials.

I used Bondo body filler and some sanding papers to make it smooth and blend the touch up the best I could. Definitely take off the whole garnish so you can fill the holes from the back if you plan on doing this.

 

well damn now I know there holes... thanks CL
