Although I wouldn't call changing out the spark plugs as "mods", I do appreciate that he posted pics... always nice to see another SC and see what other people are doing with them, no matter how insignificant the work might seem to some of you.

I like the black emblems against the white, seems like it would have been easier to plasti dip them though.

I used fishing line to remove mine. Its strong and thin to get behind and pull evenly, just wear gloves. I like the painted emblems. I thought about doing mine, but since I have chrome wheels, I kept them chrome.

Some Lexus Driver in Europe painted the emblems with PlastiDip.

The heat gun works but if you dont have one, you can use a piece of fishing line, or thick thread, saw at the adhesive like when you are flossing ur teeth, then clean the adhesive off when the emblem pops off, that what i did, and i left them off, I used polishing compound to remove the L stain from my trunk

What did you do about the holes left over. On the 92 model there are centering pins for every emblem.

You dont have to take the emblems off, If you buy a can of Matte black PlastiDip you can just spray it on over the car, make sure you end up with a heavy coat and just peel off the extra around the emblems,I did this to my emblems on my Sc400 (its removable paint)
Here is a video of an entire car being plastidipped
