Default Soarer Emblems

Does anyone know FOR SURE whether or not the Soarer emblem will cover the holes left by the Lexus Legacy Eblem?

Also, does anyone know where i can get the red/chrome soarer eblems for a decent price, two of them. They can be aftermarket, non OEM.

I know for sure the griffin will cover the holes on the front bumper as long as you put it on straight, if its at an angle the holes will show, its kinda hard to describe but the real soarers had it at an angle where the griffin paws were pointed up slightly but on a lexus they have to be down more to cover the holes.

Thank you so much buddy, i want to remove the Legacy emblems and put the griffens on to go along with the custom "JDM Spec. UZZ30 Soarer (with large griffen)" vinyls i have on my quarter glass, and then black out the rest of the trunk emblems.

Anyone have an idea of a place to get them from????

don't you just spray the chrome emblems with VHT Nightshade, or the same stuff you use to darken your tails?

It would take less than a month for that VHT to wear off those emblems, any high temp paint works fine, you just have to prep, prime, and then clearcoat after.
