It has already been done.

Looks great! I especially like the one in the front, gives the emblem some definition.

i heard you can plastidip them to black pearl. The emblem kit from Lexus is pretty overpriced IMO. Has anyone tried plasti dip?

But yeah, you can plasidip them black, if you don't care about the finish.

I don't think $311 for quality OEM emblems for a car of this calibre is overpriced.

When you resister on Sewell's site it will ask if you are affiliated with any clubs/organizations. Just choose Club Lexus and then you will get the discount pricing always.

Thumbs up

Those wondering this was first done on a 2013 GS350.....

The front "L" bracket holder is directly off the current GX460 .. You will also need the front "L" emblem in regular or black chrome to execute this look..



Personally, I love this classic 3D look ... I dis-like these newer emblems encased in the resin plastic...

9018306044 = nut spring ($0.61 each); you need two of them.
5314260011 = Base, Radiator Grille Emblem ($25.61)
9097502083 = Emblem, Radiator Grille (or Front Panel) ($37.05)

Use this so you get the right emblems:



Use this so you know what Nuts to get:
