By the way bacardi it looks great, maybe I should debadge the back of "her" car. I took off the front one a while ago and she never missed it. At least not yet.
I know you said it was green, but your pics keep saying black. Must be in the camera! lol
Hi Ed

How you doing?

I didn't debadge the rear, just sprayed mine with Plasti Dip. Looks good on a dark colour I think and when I am fed up with it, I can just peel it off. Seen it done on a white car and looks great. Opposite to debadging but easy to do.

Very best Steve

Yes plasti-drip. Need to look into this. A friend's IS250's rear (he had a Silver) was done the same way and I must say, looking good.

Hi Mandyfig

Search the forum for Plasti Dip. There is a huge post on how it's done and it really is as easy as it looks.
There are some posts of members who think it's a cop-out, but I think it's cool.

Best regards Steve

I don't have to paint mine cause I have the black pearl emblems. That is one reason I'm not in a hurry to debadge the rear.

Red tint. You can find it precut on ebay for about $20. You can either install it yourself or pay a tint shop to do it. I paid $40 to have it installed. I watched him do it and it was worth paying someone. Looked like a pain in the *** getting all the bubbles out.

I have been looking at getting a set of the black pearl emblems. They are on clearance @ Sewell. They do look good Ed! Now you got me in trouble.

Awesome! Thanks. I don't think I will be copying your style, but I thought it was a really unique look on the SC I hadn't seen before. Good idea.

I don't want the emblems... but I am curious about Sewell.. how do you access their parts, or know whats on clearance? Their website didn't seem to show anything... unless I am looking in the wrong place.
