anyone know anything about the new style black filled emblems with blueish shadow that comes with the new RX's and the GS hybrids? they look nice when I see them on the RX. wondering if I get an RX emblem will it fit my IS?

Oh forgot, I think the GS doesnt have that emblem, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure about sizes, I think they all are the same, it's available on LS Hybrids too.










Ignore the white grill lol, it looks nice with the hybrid emblem, wouldnt do it though.

also ment to mention that the salesmen I go through at sacto lexus mentioned they are the same size and will go on an IS, just wasn't sure if it would look good from the dome style versus just the emblem.

For that kind of money I would just get this instead. Rashoodz has picture samples of other colors too from Think design.jp

The new Prius has them (Not "L" but "T", of course) too. I think they look kind of tacky but to each their own. If you like them go for it.

yeah, those are not hybrid emblems. The emblem emits radar signals for the PCS system. It is an option that could be bought with the IS.

Its blue to signify its a Lexus hybrid. That is the REASON its blue. Why put hybrid emblems on your non hybrid Lexus?
