Default Default Black pearl emblem alternative - Looking for product testers

I actually do not need product testers as much I am looking for some people who are willing to take before/after pictures of this new product that I have made that goes over the front Lexus emblem.

Here is a picture of the before/after of how the emblem looks.





Shoot me a PM on here or e-mail me at Don@WannabeRacer.com if you're genuinely interested and willing to follow through with before/after pictures.

It won't be free, but it'll be at a very good price, just so I can separate those who just want free stuff and those who are actually interested and can provide me with quality feedback.

If you guys had any thoughts, comments, questions, feel free to post them here or message me.

Thanks!

-Don

Still open to people who'd be interested in taking before/after pictures.

Thanks!

You don't have the same emblem that this product is being offered for.

Still available for those who are interested. Will post some more updated pictures soon of some more examples of the emblem overlay on cars.

Thanks!

A closer look indicates black Plasti-Dip on the chrome grill surrounds and on the lower grill bar have the same effect, ignoring the emblem.

What's the anticipated price?

I am still waiting for an LX owner who's interested in the emblem overlay that would be able to take before/after pictures with the film on there.

Let me know if any of you guys would be interested in this for your emblems and taking some pictures for everyone.

Here are some before/after pictures from a member on here who got an overlay from me for their front emblem.

The exposure/lighting in pictures may make it harder to notice the before/after. It is typically more pronounced in person. It is a good balance between being just dark enough to give it the black pearl emblem look that Lexus offers.
