Hey, just a little message for the do it yourselfers out there... I took the plasicy looking silver embelems off the back of my '94 Venitian Red Metallic 850T, in hopes of getting over to the dealer to buy some new ones in better cond. when i saw a lexus es300 drive by w/ black embelems... it looked great! So I ended up sanding the logos down to black and it matches the bumpers and everything. It gives a real custom, clean look to the car. I will post pictures soon. ~Cody

    How was the paint under the emblems? I'd like to pull my 850 and turbo emblems off my '94, and reposition them in the way later models are. i.e. move turbo down below brake lights and the 850 over to the right.

      kahuna, the paint underneath the embelems was in excelent condition. BUT... good luck getting off all of that sticky residue. It took hours of scrubbing and a couple cans of WD40. I would reccomend some adhesive remover that will not harm paint. ~Cody

    Cody, I did the same thing to my black 95 854T. I even had my 5 spoke 17in T5R wheels powdercoated in black. The car is really stealthy and Im considering changing my license plate to read DRTVDR (Darth Vader).

      Randy, I like your idea of painting the wheels black. Can I ask where you bought the 17 inch R wheels? I have been wanting to get new ones and I really like the "smoked" look of those wheels.
