    well, I took advice on the forum and purchased the 1 1/2 electrical plate covers for my 15" wheels, then I added Lexus "carbon Look" emblems with some non drip all weather super glue and here is the result.

    I like... though I think it would have looked better with the Toyota emblem. Is there a Toy version available?

    And that looks good Doug, but I was wondering about the c/f logo above except w/ the T?

    Oh I'm sure any graphics shop worth their salt can easily make that up for you. I got mine off ebay and ironically I think he was from Alaska.

    Alaskan's have lots of time on their hands in the winter... :)

    Those emblems above seem to be embedded in a clear silicone or something which I like a lot. I tried a search but couldn't find anything like it.

    I got my L center cap emblems at a high end wheel tire shop, they had all kinds and sizes, but only two of the Toyota ones, since I have 4 wheels, I thought the Lexus / Carbon look looked nice, plus I wanted the black center as a contrast I think it makes the wheel look larger.. works out well i thought.
    My total cost for this project including the Glue was $22.00... not bad

    Perhaps you could ask the shop where they got them? Please? :)
