The Toyota emblems have been discussed, but I wouldn't even know where to start for comparable Lexus emblems.

Moved though.

If you want to be different, try making a custom emblem like I did. I cast a mold of the original, then cast it in frosted plastic, backlit it with Blue L.E.D.s an dbling! custom unique light up Scion Emblem. No-one else has one.

<------- there's a picture of it.

let him do what he wants, it's his car. the L emblem probably adds like 5hp so what do you all care?

Don't hold me to it, but i think the rear emblem is sized differently than the front. The dimensions on is300 or g6 is 2 4/5"h x 3 7/8"w or about 9.8cm x 7cm

Some of the front emblems look much larger. Parts places on the net have them for under $20. Pick one up and try it out if you want. You might also be able to find a deal on ebay.
good luck.

The other day, my gf & I were driving around and saw an older Toyota Camry with an Acura emblem on the trunk! I can't remember the last time I laughed that hard. We tried to take pix with a camera phone to show you guys, but they all came out too blury because we were laughing so much. Since your emblems are off, why don't you just paint them? That's what I did and I liked the result. I know this isn't Lexus emblems, but here's a link I found...

I hope you choose wisely. But like peeps have said, its your ride and you should do what you want to it.

Last week a nice Hyundai Tiberon drove past me in traffic. I died laughing when I saw the "Ferrari" sticker smack above his liscense plate. Talk about identify crisis..

and it does seem wrong and funny!

5hp!!! NO WAY!!

IM DOWN! gonna get a bunch of them everywhere! and a huge sticker on my front windshield that says SCION just in case somewhat didnt realize what kind of car im driving! hell yeah!

NO ENGINE MODS!! just stickers now!

I would really love to see this. Yeah its complete rice, and I would never do it to my car, but I guaruntee you guys it will look hot. I guest this goes down into the file of ricey things that I would never do but I love to see done, ex. the pimp my ride bimmer front end and mercedes back end on the 86' ford escort, vynil and underglow neon lights, big dual turbo exhausts on stock engines, etc.

I don't understand why so many people try to make their cars look fast instead of actually being fast. I would rather be fast in a plain looking car than be slow in a "pimped out" car.

AND I AGREE WITH THAT!
im not doing anything really to my car that "makes it look fast" its mostly all enginge "POOP" that i want to do!

i just think that the L emblem would be somewhat cool!

my car is black on black on black ect....

not planning on putting a wing/spoiler or even a bodykit... the only thing that you would be able to see would be the DUAL EXHAUST! but thats gonna take some shaving! other than that a cool....

Lexus tC with a HEMI

sounds like fun!

im kidding on that

Ok Ok, I got one

I graduated from University of Maryland, and when I lived right off campus, there was this kid that had a black VW GTI with a BMW emblem replacing the VW emblem. It was priceless.
