Default Cathy, I found your next paintjob!

And no, that's not a photoshop, it's a real 'paint job'...well, it's more like a painstaking application process that you yourself are familiar with, Cath.





And wheels to match...





But while you're contemplating, you can certainly get a hold of these emblems now...

I seriously think you should order that Lexus emblem NOW, Cathy. That's a nice peice.

At the least, you should be able to get a job there.

They are real rhine stones. I say this car on the SEMA recap show. It was a insanely time consuming

I wonder if those stones fly off if your speed crests 150mph, or even 100mph.

I'd be afraid to drive it, seems like one nice pothole and some of those rhinestones would just fly off. And if you're driving behind that car, I'd just wait for some to fly off and then quickly stop, and retrieve them. They gotta be worth some money...each ONE.

Dave, I believe this is the website: http://www.garson.co.jp/

Unfortunately, it's in Japanese. You need a translator.
