I just got back from _________ and picked up this Toyota Harrier Emblem. So just what country did I come back from???

Either Japan or Singapore?

Lexmex

Nope.

All the more shocking in the country where I was is that the same year RX300s share the streets with Toyota Harriers. Toyota Altezzas and even Soarers were also to be found along with the IS300 also along side. Nissan Skylines were to be seen.

Looking really sharp!

Well, I'll spill the beans...Jamaica.

The place was full of Harriers and RX300s (most right hand drive).

You told me that you wanted one. Now you finally got it. Congrats!

I was going to guess Belize since it's next to Mexico.

I actually tried to pick to up the rear Harrier set (though I have seen those on the net, but no the front emblem), but they were not available at the three stores I checked just before I left for the airport. The front emblem I did get cost a little over $40 USD with tax.

I am probably going to keep it clean on the back for now.

It was a big shock to me when I was coming in from the airport and saw a Skyline, then a RHD Supra, then the Toyota Fortuner had I wanted to see and then a RHD RX300 and then a RHD Harrier. They even had those little blind spot mirrors. This is the only picture that was clear enough on my camera phone (I had more, but they did not come out well )

Harrier and Lexus emblems are 'hot' items along with some other emblems. My cab driver's Nissan Bluebird emblem had been taken in a similar fashion.

Also noticed some very nice looking Toyota Klugers (a.k.a. Highlanders).

I did try to get some more emblems in case anyone was interested, but when I asked the vendor if they had any more, he said that was his last one.

Notice the lack of side markers on the front bumper and the tiny orange markers as consistent with non-U.S. RX300s.

If any of you go to Kingston, I have the name and phone number of the cab driver who knows these places (all legit) (he got me around pretty quick for my business and was ruthlessly fast in getting me to some JDM parts places in my final hours there).

The place where I got mine is http://www.bertsautoparts.com/

To find out more about vehicles in Jamaica, I would highly suggest taking a look at http://www.wheelsjamaica.com, though sometimes the site's functionability can be sporadic.

This is my set for the Harrier. Mounted on my computer.

I knew that it wouldn't fit on the RX300, but it looked so nice, I had to have it.

your lucky lexmex i look nice..... i got mine in the mail the other day .. they sent me the wrong ones it was for the rx330 the harrier grill emblem was to big fit the stock hole ..

Is this one for say a later model RX300 as opposed to the one I have? I noticed the one on the RX330/Harrier they had in Jamaica was enormous.
