Hey everyone, I was just wondering what you guys think. I have a pearl white SC and I have the gold package on it right now and I wanna see weather you guys think I should swap it for the black or chrome package.

 

I've always been a fan of normal chrome badges on the SC/Soarer, IMO black pearl badges only really look good on black SC's... maybe it's just me?

 

The key is good contrast. Black Pearl looks best on light-colored cars: sandstone beige, millenium silver, pearl white. Chrome and gold looks best on RGB-colored cars: royal sapphire pearl, bordeaux pearl, cinnabar, teal mist, black.

 

One vote for badgeless here!

 

I have a pearl white SC3, and i swapped the gold badges for some chrome ones, and they made a world of difference. GO WITH CHROME (i can't justify paying the ridiculous amount for the black pearl emblems)

 

Denny -- I thought about shaving the emblems but then I would have to paint the car (or at least the front and back bumpers) so I am going to hold off on that until I get my body kit. But if I do shave the emblems I wanna keep the center L on the back and shave everything else.


MyLexusSC300 --- I found a place that sells the black pearl emblems for $115 for the whole package, and the funny thing is that I would end up paying more for the chrome emblems because the cheapest chrome emblems I found were $120

 

One note: I am a fan of black chrome emblems, but the color will fade over the years just like gold emblems do.

 

I know most people will disagree but I've always thought any Lexus looks awesome with pearl white and gold emblems. I see a few pearl white SCs with gold emblems and thought it looks great. I would keep them or freshen them up a bit or get new gold ones. Its really up to you but thats just my take on it. Good luck picking tho. I think black pearl would look nice too but like lex400sc they will fade like the gold. If you're looking for a easy to maintain package the chrome would be better.

 

JDM chrome is way more stylish than all of the above.

 

I have a pearl white 400, and I switched to chrome emblems. It just didn't look right due to the pearl making the white look darker; plus I have all chrome wheels too. I switched back to gold emblems. I think the key is wether you have chrome wheels or not. I liked the chrome emblems, but w/ the wheels, the color looked mismatched, and the gold emblems just match the pearl better. But thats just my opinion.

 

I had the gold emblems on my SC before switching, and i think the chrome looks wayyy better than the gold. I don't really like gold emblems on any color car so that might explain it

 

make that two!!!

 

i've actually long been debating switching my badges on my black SC over to gold sometime this summer possibly, what do you guys think?

 

the cleanest possibility is:

white: chrome
black: pearl black
maroon: gold OR chrome
green: chrome
blue: chrome


IMO

 

are there any places to purchase black chrome emblems? i talked with steve and he hasn't seen any black chrome emblems in a while.
