Lexus emblem dimension help

[mikeukrainetz]

I own a new Yaris and would like to replace the toyota emblems with lexus emblems but everything I can find is too small.
Does anyone know the biggest front / rear emblem sizes for any lexus model?

LOL, I could tell you but I won't. Please don't do this.

I have to laugh at those who who think this idea is somewhat sacrilegious.

Why? I guess is my next question.

Owners of these brands seem to think the status or prestige paying a ridiculous amount of money for a toyota with a chrome emblem is reserved with those with to much money and not enough to do with it.

I hate to inform all those folks who own most of these "Luxury" brands - they are made from the same parts my yaris is.....

Jag uses Focus parts

Lexus uses cheap toyota parts - the camry uses the same engine as the es300 so save yourself 20 grand - or is it all an "anatomy" enlargement factor?

Seems the idea of swapping badges is akin to silk screening "Hilfiger" on a hanes t-shirt.

Something like the JDM market then.....

The only "true" luxury brands are the exotics - lamborghini, ferrari etc etc....

Anyway, I digress.

Thanks for the help

LOL. I didn't honestly think you really wanted to do this. Anyway, just email a Lexus dealer (Carson Toyota, Park Place Lexus, Sewell Lexus, google any of these names and you will find their websites) and ask them what the largest dimensioned emblem is.

The point is, you don't drive a Lexus. You drive a Toyota.

Also, not all Lexus parts are made from "cheap Toyota parts." Many of the hoses, plugs, cables are made from different, stronger materials than in their Toyota counterparts. There is so much information to back my statement, on the web, on other forums, from certified Lexus techs. Anyways, it's your car, you do what you like. As long as you don't mind what other people think of you for doing such a thing, it shouldn't be a problem Enjoy that gas mileage that you will get from your "Lexus"

Yes, essentially a lexus is a toyota. Aristo there GS here, Soarer there SC here, Celsior there LS here. So in Japan there was no lexus until about a year ago. You could call a lexus an "upscale" Toyota. In japan a Celsior still cost 6-7X of a Yaris, there's gota be some difference between the two Toyotas.

Anyways, if you can't see the point of paying for higher quality....you can probably find some imitation Lexus badges on ebay. Beware, those $50 sets will start to lose their paint and chrome after a few carwashes. Or you could spend $150 to get a set from the dealer that will last the lifetime of your car
