Hi VicFerrari,
I also want to replace my Lexus emblem with the Toyota one.
Do I just get any Toyota emblem or I have to specify the year and the model of the Toyota to get the correct emblem?
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated

well i went to the toyota dealer and ask to see the front and back emblems they had, the front was to small and i did not like it so i went with the back one that was a little bit larger. it seemd that the oval is not exact but you do not notice. i put it on with wire and crimped it down and about 25% of the glue so holding it to.

now for the back the celica had color back emblems for the car but they do not make them any more

so my quest is still on for the right one

hello,

first of all, why would you want to go with "toyota" emblems??

i don't know why people in japan wants to upgrade with "lexus" emblems and people in usa wants to upgrade with "toyota" emblems...maybe they can trade their emblems.

personally, if you want to upgrade, upgrade with pearl black emblems.

the black pearl is more $$$, and the reason that peolple in japan go to lexus and usa goes to toyota is because we want something we don't have.

Hi blitz
I agreed with VicFerrari.
The other day I saw a LS owner replaced his rear Lexus emblem with a Mercedes emblem.
And I think everybody try to differentiate their Lexus from others .:eek:

I too don't understand the point in doing that.

You bought a LEXUS. Why try and hide that?

Nver understand why people do things just for the sake to be different and for nothing else.

Maybe I should badge my LS430 with a big R for Rob
