So I just finished installing the "Black Pearl Emblems' on my "Snow Bunny" Front and Rear this time with a DIY Tips. I got this idea from another Lexus driver here on CL. Took me about 45 or so for the Front one and 30 Mins for the Rear ones. Any questions feel free to ask. Better day time pictures will be posted in the next few days. Did this one in the afternoon when the sun was coming down.


Materials:
Electrical Tape (for lining up the "I" and the "S" on the IS250)
Dental Floss (for removing the emblems)
Goo Gone (for removing the tape residue)
Glass Cleaner/ Ammonia Free (to remove the Goo Gone)
Lexus SST emblem removal tool (Works best to remove the Rear "L" logo)
2 Microfiber Towels (one wet to remove the OEM emblem tape residue & one dry to clean the glass cleaner for final clean)

awesome write up!

am really keen to do it for my own ride now.

any final tips on the sticky tape?

titoman110

Thanks!

To me the key to the sticky tape residue was the goo gone. Make sure you put a good amount and let it sit for 30 seconds. Rub the sticky tape with a wet microfiber towel and it should slowly come off nice and easy.

Cool. Now if there was a way to get the chrome grill surround done in black chrome to match the emblem.

I'm sure you can use 3M adhesive remover too, awesome DIY btw, will definitely follow your footsteps!

so just to clarify there are no holes behind the Is250 emblem on the trunk?

titoman110

No holes on the "IS250" emblem. Only the "L" Logo on the trunk has two holes as you see in the picture above.
