Default IS350 Black Pearl Debadge...With Pics!

After my other thread I posted about how this would look I decided I was just going to do it and swap the regular chrome L for a Black Pearl L. I like the cleaner look. However up close, for some reason, the IS350 emblems scratched the truck. But it is hard to tell. Eventually maybe I'll throw the black pearl IS350 on, but for now I figured I'd post a couple before and after pics!

Very nice! Like it a lot. Picks up on the F-Sport wheel color. Was this emblem from Sewell?

Front grill can be replaced too...I just didnt do it because I like the chrome L up front. It stands out against the already black/gray front grill.

It's super easy to remove the emblems. There are prongs for the L...not for the IS 350 emblems. Just take a hair dryer, heat it up, remove with a plastic pry tool. There are other ways to do it, but this has always worked best for me.

And yeah, also incredibly surprised how expensive it is. Looks cool though.

I'd say leave it as is, the black pearl rear emblem matches the rear diffuser. Both emblems match the car, just in different ways.

Well I see what he's saying, it would match the only other metal back there, the tailpipes. But I think the black pearl matches the diffuser at the bottom of the bumper, plus matches the emblem on the front, so I'd leave it.
