Faded front logo/emblem replacement (1 Viewer)

[NKP Garage]

The faded sun damaged emblem in the front was driving me nuts. I tried wet sanding and compounding it, but the results were not good. The plastic on the logo had seen better days for sure.

Looked all over for a replacement and all the Lexus parts depots wanted to sell me the emblem and radar sensor for the several hundred bucks as part of a single part number. Finally found a Lexus parts seller on ebay that sold just the emblem for about $50. Got it in the mail and it took just a few minutes to replace. Looks brand new again and I don't have to see that ugly faded emblem on the grill anymore.

READ FIRST:Based on some comments here it has become obvious that the eBay seller who I bought my emblem from is not selling the correct part anymore for vehicles that have the Radar cruise control. Please make sure to buy your replacement emblem from your favorite Toyota/Lexus parts source. The OEM part number is below.Toyota/Lexus part number is 53141-60090. Usually around $350-400 from the dealerships

The part is listed to be compatible with what seems to be most of the 2013-ish - 2021-ish Lexus models with radar cruiser control. I think this includes the GX460, LS460, LX570, and IS/GS/RX/ES models.

Here is the exact one I purchased from this seller. It arrived quickly and was a brand new Lexus part:

If you don’t want to replace it
Search Instashine. I found this stuff at a boat show. Think it coat $30 for the can. Totally worth it. The shine lasts a long time and covers up the scratches.

Thanks for the suggestion I'll try it since I couldn't find a badge replacement.

Got a link for it?

I forgot the history behind buying this stuff and now I remember it was hard to find.
Here's the link which looks a bit sketchy but is still a good site. I bought 3 cans and used 2 on my fiberglass boat before I sold it. So it was 3 cans for $30.

It looks like you can buy just the emblem. Part # 90975-02115 (for 2013-2015)

Edit: Nevemind - it says without pre-crash system.

Edit again: This is a different part number. It doesn't mention without pre-crash system , but it doesn't mention with either. 90975-02081
