Unless you paint them with some sort of clearcoat,it's gonna look cheesy and cheap.I ordered the "Lexus" nameplate from the "sportdesign" edition vehicles that came off a ES300, and took off the "IS" The "Lexus nameplate" is already smoked out with a gloss on it.Go to your Lexus wholesale dept. to get one,might cost you $10-20.If not then you can paint all the emblem's and it might cost you $50-100 depending on where you go.On Ebay you can get a set of "LEXUS IS300" emblems with the "L" for about $120 already in black,just take out the 300 and and apply the rest.

Hey smoke, are the emblems just attached with double sided tape? I might just remove the lexus and the IS on the trunk with dental floss and a hair dryer.

Actually Yes And There Are Posts On The Back So You Have To Be Carefull.i Think The Best Bet Is To Buy The Emblems New And Paint Those And Install Them On Because You Might Brake The Emblem With The Posts--just A Suggestion Good Luck!!

If you haven't already done this, you can buy emblems already painted black. They are pretty expensive but its a full set, including one for the grill (I believe). Let me know if you want the link :)
