Thumbs down

DO NOT BUY THEM FROM EBAY !!!
I assume you are talking about these.
SC430 Emblem Set on Ebay

The quality is just bad bad bad.... these are cheap replicas made in China.
And the size is not correct... I mean NONE of them in the set is in correct size.
Check the measurement!!!! Each of them!!!
I know because I was screwed by them.

My pics will show you how they actually look like on your SC430.
These crooks now change the front emblem to a bigger size.
Still, it doen't fit. The labels on these package actually say LS400.
Go check the measurements on your car first, so you understand what I am talking about.

that's pretty stupid man... especially for the rear lexus emblem, you need the exact same size coz' the lexus logo is indented on the trunk.

though it's kinda funny where the word "lexus" and "sc430" sit on your trunk lid. isn't that pretty high? mine sits very close to the edge of the trunk

Yup...
They think they are one size fits all.
Some of those sizes are in fact for older generations of Lexus.
They just kind of mixes them as different sets for different Lexus models.

As for the "LEXUS" and "SC430" sitting on my trunk lid, I just temporarily glued them there for illustration purpose.
I had removed them days before I received these cheap replicas.

They must have sent you the wrong set which explains why you have the wrong size.I purchased a set off of Ebay and they are very good quality and exactly the right size. No issues what so ever. Good tape on the back unlike some others I have purchased. Everything fit perfectly and I am a picky bastard.

I don't know about that. I believe these two sellers are selling the same products.

I bought from hk_plus and I know 4 other buyers have the same issue.
Just look at their pics below, you can tell the sizes are different from real things.
For example, the width of the "430". It appears to be the same as that of the smaller "L".

Now look at my pics above, the actual width of the "430" is way smaller than that of the smaller "L" on the rear trunk lid.
Also, the correct size of "LEXUS" is 6 3/4 " x 3/4". I think the one in their pics is 7"+ x 1"+

Or they are now selling something different from what they show in pics.... I doubt it.

Look at your pics, there is no doubt you received the wrong kit or they have no idea what they are doing. Either way your left out. Did you email them with the issues?
You can see pics of mine on other post.
