Default Nebula grey with dark chrome emblems?

Anyone got pictures of a Nebula grey with dark chrome emblems?
Doesn't have to be 3IS. Just need a good look on how it might turn out.

I've been searching for same for a while.

Best I've come across is this:

Unfortunately, it's black plasti-dip, not black pearl.

I'd really like to see what the black pearl emblems from Sewell look like on a 3IS...

ALSO, is there ANYWHERE ELSE to purchase the emblems other than Sewell!?

Thanks.

Plasti-dip is way off. Not the same look at all.

Thanks Bob, looks nice. I'd like to see it outside in the sun too if possible.

Here you go. I also wrapped the front grille in matte black vinyl. I installed the black pearl emblem up front but i did not like how it looked at all so i switched back to the chrome emblem.

This is mine. I just installed the black pearl emblems from Sewell Lexus and did 3M 1080 Vinyl on the chrome portion of the grill. I only have pictures from the night I did the install, Ill see if I can get betting pictures with it outside if interested. I am happy with the way it came out, just need to do something about the license plate frames.

LOOKS GREAT, onepointon! More pictures please, when free!

Otherwise, did you have to break tabs on the original grille emblem when removing?

Thanks!

Thanks! Ill try to get some more at some point. I was happy with the way it came out. The vinyl could have turned out better, I might redo it at some point.

I tried so hard not to break the tabs, but they just snapped. Oh well..
