Yeah the Sewell Lexus online store is out of business, but the dealership's parts department itself will still sell parts if you're local like me

Getting those nice fancy emblems chipped would suck!

Looks great bro! Small world, I live in SA too. I just got my front black pearl emblem on Saturday. After reading some threads it looks like these can have problems over a short period of time getting pitting and other finish issues on the front emblems at least. I ordered a 2k clear aresol and just clear coated my front one to protect it. It might be worth doing the same for your front emblem. I broke the tabs on my stock emblem too, not sure exactly how they are supposed to be removed to not break them.

I have a white IS and I'm very interested in doing this for my car. I'm really thinking of removing all the rear emblems. I just want to replace the front and rear lexus emblems with the black pearl.

Does anybody have a pic of their car debadged in the rear?

I like the clean look of de badged rear. Had it done the first day I got the car. Btw a easy way to remove the back is to heat it with a heat gun or blow dryer and use a debit card.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. It looks great!
It is a very clean look. I think I'm going to go ahead and do it

I have an Atomic Silver IS250F as well, and I think you just convinced me to do this myself!

The best part is now the emblems change colors based on lighting conditions just like the atomic silver paint. Whole car always looks different! For the chrome trim on the front, my installer used smoked tail-light film which gives it the same appearance as black pearl. Highly recommend using that. i don't know if i'll do the chrome around the windows as it kind of blends nicely with the paint of the car already. So far no issues!

OEM emblem template

Kinda off topic but does anyone have the oem emblem still? If someone could photocopy me the emblem it would be great! I’m trying to do a template for tinting the emblem.

I might try to measure and draw on Word but the photocopy would be easier! Any ideas would be great!

Thanks in advance!
