Is it possible for us to buy the center chrome LEXUS symbol in our steering wheel does anyone have before and after pic's? I would really like to do this but don't know were to start.

 

There is no chrome L for the 98-00 steering wheel. If you look at the airbag design of the 98-00 and the 01+, they are different. Some have gotten, I believe, the L from an ES (not sure what model) engine bay and stuck it on the airbag. There is some risk of it flying at you if the airbag ever deployed but this has never been tested and proven. Up to you if you want to take the risk.

The more expensive method is to upgrade the steering wheel and airbag. The specs for this is pretty strict as you need just the right pieces from other lexus. You are looking at easily $500-$1000 depending on how good your contacts are, how lucky you are with timing at junk yards, and so on. If you paid list, it would be more than that.

 

I got the 2001 rx300 airbag. It fit on my 2000 GS. Thats the only year and model that still has the old plug and a chrome "L"

 

This is the expensive route. How much and where for the airbag? Post, pm, or email me if you like.

 

yeah i read that the 2000 es300 engine bay lexus emblem will fit

the 01 rx300 air bag together with a 01+ style steering wheel is the truth right way to do it, but you probably dont' even wanna see the price tag

 

How much to go that way I would love to know. Also do you know were I could find a ground chart on were you guy place them at some kind of picture would be great. Looking to buy Hyper Ground System from Carson do you agree not to change the topic?

 

Hmmm the steering wheel I snagged off of ebay for like $150. Now the airbag was $450. Then to do the wood wheel conversion was about $550 and now im tired of the car. what a waste of money. Were all sick with modding car disease.

 

if this is a joke Gamma

lol

let me know first when you start the parting

you know what i want

everything

 

Start saving Johhny.

 

Hey GAMMALEX check this out and tell me what you think:

www.ebay.com


LEXUS GS IS INFINITI Q45 PROJECTORS HID HEADLIGHT XENON
Q45 Projectors Porsche 911TT Lit-Tronic Xenon HID Retro $1500.00 for the starting bid?


Item number: 7947430611

Did you invest more than that into your set?

Thanks for the info.

 

well remember my pm gamma, and if you need help on your next car let mek now

anyway, if you are able to find the stuff on ebay it's cool, under 700 and you should be good to go. but otherwise it's going to be a real pain at dealership price

 

Wow what a BSer. Thats a guy on this forum. heres his link https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...&highlight=q45

He is number 6 in the north america. I was number one. That was my one of my first mods on CL 2 years ago. I also have 6000k philips bulbs and hid projectors in the highbeam. If he can get 1500 for his lights im parting out my car on Ebay lol.

 

So I would say $1500 is a joke than and you can't even trust him scince he lies in his adds.

I believe I was the first to post this... Someone asked and I posted about the ES trunk, and the pre 04 ES engine bay. Same emblem. It fits perfect too. just need to lightly sand the L on the airbag, and use some super strong 3m 2 sided tape. das it... Looks very sharp for only a couple of bucks. Much cheaper than buying the airbag and steering wheel... Easily obtainable from junk yards.... Unless you don't want to use the tape.

Found this. Eh Neo is this the engine bay or did people just crazy glue chrome on?
Cause this would be easier, cheap. But anybody know are there different sizes of chrome emblem various models - because the bigger ones look dumb like they don't fit well. It looks stock!
