wlo0328 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Does anyone know of a good source to buy gold plated emblems for a 1992 LS400 that is a good quality at a reasonable price? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlo0328 Posted June 20, 2003 Author Share Posted June 20, 2003 Doesn't anyone know of someone in the U.S. that does gold emblems? I live in the Atlanta, Georgia area. Thanks again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatman Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 seen a complete set on ebay the other day for 99.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I think you all are crazy to put gold emblems on unless your car is black. I think they look good on black. On white and other colors, they are wicked ugly. The silver just looks so much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatman Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I think the gold emblems look great on my LS400, here is the link to the item on ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...8&category=6755 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90LS400Lexus Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 I think you all are crazy to put gold emblems on unless your car is black. I think they look good on black. On white and other colors, they are wicked ugly. The silver just looks so much better. I agree with VB. Not sure about all colors, but my LS400 has the factory gold emblems and grill and I think they look awful on my car considering the color. In fact, I think the color of my car us awful. Not my favorite color at all, but the selection of older LS400s are not that great around here. My car is a dark maroon metallic color, with original brown/dark brown interior. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF3 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 The set looks like it's okay. Anybody interested in buying a set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLexus94 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I disagree that gold emblems look "wicked ugly" (wicked?) on white Lexi's. My white/gray model looks great with gold trim. I like the fact that only the front grille and a couple of emblems are gold-plus the key area. I looked into gold trim for the wheel wells, but decided that this was a little excessive. Most black cars I have seen with gold trim, like Camry's, seem to get carried away with gold. Lexus kept it to a minimum-and I like it.

ThunderRiver Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Does it really matter if you get a gold or not? I suppose it is just a personal preference. I like mine as silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCF3 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Silver is always good, so is gold and black emeril. Has anybody tried attaching the black Emeril versions on a white car? Kind of interested in seeing some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tansupplyman Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 WELL, I just had to come out of the woodwork !!!!! This is all personal preference, you know----but I liked the GOLD emblems with my Pearl White LS so much that I painted the bottom GOLD and got rid of that ugly dull silver !!!!!! It also had gold pinstripes. Even replaced the dull trunk lid 'LEXUS' and 'LOGO" gold ones with new gold ones whenever the bottom was painted [the LS400 gold one was OK]. The car also had gold exhaust tips and antenna knob when I bought it (5 yrs) ago!! Don't have any 'professional' photos to attach, but be assured it looks good and there AINT another like it on the road !!! CHEERS------ :D Now if I only had a new gold logo for the grill and wheel caps to replace the dull ones I would be much happier!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Guess I knid of stirred the pot on that one. Tan, I totally agree that it is a personal preference. Painting the bottom gold to match makes a huge difference and it does look good. Although I am not a big jewelry wearer, I have always preferred silver to gold. Platnium isn't bad either, I wouldn't mind platnium emblems (is there such a thing?). UCF, That is a good idea. I Have seen it mentioned somewhere on the site. Tex, sorry about the wicked, comes from spending too much time in New England as a kid. It IS wicked cold there in the winter. Thinder, silver all the way. 90, at least I'm not alone out here. I do not like maroon cars much. My mom had one once and since I am the designated waxer, I liked it even less. Maroon looks good only when it is spotlessly clean, and my experience shows it is a lot of work to keep it up. Man, if it fades just a little, oh boy. My Frontier is dark blue, another color I'd never buy again. Looks great only if you wash it several times a week even when it doesn't rain. Forget that! I have always preferred white. I doubt I would have even bought my Lexus if it hadn't been white. I wasn't even looking for a car when I bought it, it just came up. Fatman, said the page wouln't load? and okay, it's not that bad.

tansupplyman Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Great--welcome to THE forum. There should be lots of silver(chrome) emblems available by those replacing them over the years-don't think they would throw away. I have a 'dull' gold one !!!! Look on e-bay regularly: http://mpf-search.ebay.com/search/search.d...701277+29061098 might want to do a "search": 'gold emblems' & 'emblems' & 'logos',etc. to find those who have replaced their orig one ; then send them a PM(personal message) about their old one.

TexasLexus94 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 VBDenny-I wasn't picking on you for the word "wicked". All of my in-laws are from Mass., so I hear things like "It's wicked hot heah" all the time. Seldom I see it written, so I thought it was funny.

mbpgawest Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 445781, I'm looking for the emblems for the wheel centers, in gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBdenny Posted June 3, 2004 Share Posted June 3, 2004 hey Tex, that's cool. I teach middle school so very little gets under my skin anyway. I lived it Tulsa for 5 years and I remember what hot was. I think I remember the weather channel posting 116F the last summer I was there. and yeas, that IS wicked hot. On the emblems, with people switch to gold, they should be easy to find. I found them cheap on the Interent, sorry I forgot the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
