Default CF or Gloss Black Rear Emblems?

Just curious if anyone sells the "L" and "RC" in gloss black or carbon fiber. I would rather not remove my current emblems, paint them, and re-install them if someone sells them for a reasonable price?

Has anyone painted or replaced those emblems? Thanks!

I am in the process of painting the logos and emblems now. Have not attempted taking off or applying yet.

I painted the "L" and clear coated gloss. I removed the "RC" as soon as I got the car

I bought a brand new OEM Black pearl Lexus emblem from eBay for like $35! Previously had it coated black but the extreme cold in chicago made it chip off lol

Did you just remove your emblem and then re-install it with double-sided tape after painting? I assume some goo-gone and fishing line will remove them/

Nice find...they are all 79$ right now...but all for different models. I am assuming they would fit the RC F though.

Yes, lace tie or dental floss for removal then cleaned with 3m adhesive remover. I then used some 3m double sided tape, the thinnest one they have.

Appreciate it...looks like I will go the painting route and probably just remove the "RC".

I have this black pearl set and love them. Unfortunately I see that the price has gone up some since I purchased, but the guy that does them is on eBay. Just search "Lexus RCF Black Pearl". Mine look a little more gloss black than the pic I am posting, but great quality and they still maintain the blue accent around the inside.

Both look great! Think I need to take mine off as well!

Minor changes sometimes make a big difference. Suits my eye much better by removing the RC and just leaving the F. Makes the unicorn even more mysterious....

Saw this beast and the F was in yellow to match the calipers - so hot.... Love the licence plate too.

I saw these in Bulletproof’s website but it’s no longer available for some reason now, wouldn’t hurt to contact them I’m sure they can source them for you
