SW03ES Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 They probably need to be re-plated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLexus94 Posted June 14, 2004 Share Posted June 14, 2004 Check my post about Gold Emblem Refurbish. Guy is cheap and honest. I posted pics 400-402 in the Gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve@Lextasy.com Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 How do you remove your emblems and then reinstall them if they have a one time use 3M double sided tape? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLexus94 Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 In reply to the emblem removal question- The front "L" simply unscrews from the grille. The grille trim also unscrews. The rear "Lexus" and "L" emblems took a little time to remove, since they have grommet type attachments around the emblem posts. But with a little time, patience, dental floss, and a taped screwdriver, they both came off without a problem. Reinstallation was easy. I did scrape off the original tape residue, and reattach the emblems with high strength contact cement. It may be hard to remove them again, but it also makes it hard for a thief, too. The added "LS 400" emblem that I purchased had posts on the back-I snipped them off, to avoid having to drill holes in the trunk. One thought is that the "LS 400" emblem is smaller than the "Lexus" emblem (Only the 4 is the same size) so it's impossible to match the layout exactly. My Gallery post #400 looks like the "LS 400" is low-I had a choice-Put it in High-or Low. But I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
