Default Toyota Celsior Emblems, where to get?

Where can I find Celsior side and rear emblems for a decent price?

Are there any good sites for Junction Produce parts?

because they're a toyota OEM part that was never sold in the US, so importers have to buy them in japan/overseas at oem rates and then import them as a 3rd party (shipping/customs/duties) and stilll make a profit on them.

Ah I see. I work at a body shop and I buy Toyota emblems all day and they are almost all about 28$. But it makes sense if they never sold them here why they would cost more.

Bear in mind the front Toyota emblem will not fit onto a Lexus grille you have to replace the whole thing and the trunk locating holes are different.

I got mine off of another forum member the emblem and grille for about $50. It is important to note that as steve2006 said the trunk holes from the Lexus badges do NOT line up with those from the Toyota emblems. This means that you will either have to plug up the holes yourself or fill them and repaint your trunk. The holes line up pretty damn closely on the "Celsior" part of the badge where the "Lexus" badge is but the actual symbol in the middle is way different.

I changed mine, I've been pulled over twice for having Toyota Celsior on the back of the car instead of Lexus. Stupidest bullcrap in the entire world, I have even been asked if the car is stolen HAHAHA so watch out if you do change them. You may get pulled over and questioned.

Yes the undercover police unit that pulled us over removed us all from the car and patted us all down and asked if the vehicle was stolen. Driving 15mph in congested city traffic too so impossible we broke any traffic laws. Getting hella profiled haha.
