Too Much?

[SH20]

I concede to another member who once wrote about blinging up a car unnecessarily after I had placed Lexus graphics on my head rests. However I couldn't help myself this time and decided I would make this the last one, honest. At £8 for two decent key rings I adapted them and did this.

See photos.

Subtle enough IMHO. I never have enough time to keep my in trim, let alone make any mods, but I do like the monogrammed headrests

Like the red colour, though not driven a red car in 22 years, every red car I ever had was involved in accidents (not my fault).

Ever since I stopped driving red cars (had 5 in my driving career) never had anyone hit me.

Had a flat red car once - paint faded ......... also the seagulls seemed to bomb it more for some reason.

I like that key ring idea. Green was a colour not liked by many people ............ my mum said they were bad luck and a relation said they are involved in more accidents because people do not see them as well. Personally I like the bright orange colour of Ford and Lamborghini.

I like the colour of the car, what do you reckon to this badge?

[SH20]

Like that badge a lot Shelldrake, where on earth did you find them, assume you have one either side.

Steve

[SHELLDRAKE]

CHEERS Steve yes I do have them on each side, they came from a firm in Hong Kong.

[SH20]

Hi Norman, if you have the internet info of the Company in Hong Kong could you pass it to me. Was this a company you saw on E Bay?

Hi Steve: no I found it on google, the quickest way I have now found out , is to go on your search engine and put in "aliexpress.com"

when their page comes up scroll down the list to -automotive- click on this, it will give different options for different items.

Click on "Exterior" then you can look for the item you want.

I hope this will be of some help to you Norman

Isn't one of the US firms' badge like that (Lincoln maybe? or Caddy.)

[SHELLDRAKE]

Hello Chris: yes you are correct, when you go onto the site you can pick the type that you need, there are hundreds to choose from.

[SH20]

Hi Norman, yes found the badges as you said via aliexpress, cheers for that.

Steve

[SHELLDRAKE]

Hello Steve : Did you order any??

[SH20]

Hi Norman. no I haven't ordered them yet. I see it's a Hong Kong based company, one of the biggest in the world I've found out. I'm busy with other stuff on my car but will get some when my to do list is completed. Have the wheels away at the minute being fully refurbished.

Cheers for the info

O.K. Steve: I have ordered a new set for mine as the set on the car are looking a bit tired.

Norman

[SHELLDRAKE]

Well Steve, the badges from Hong Kong have arrived, 2 sets I ordered on the 19th of this month and they are perfect both sets cost £12:98 so not a bad deal.

[SH20]

Hi Norman. that was a quick delivery from Hong Kong. I ordered a set of Lexus branded aluminium pedal covers from Hong Kong last week. Four pieces for £16, accelerator, brake and foot rest covers and a foot operated parking park pedal which is surplus to my needs. Suspect the set is for a 430 rather than a 460 but I know they will fit. Found them on E Bay but it was clear that the supplier was through Aliexpress as the advert format was very much what I've seen when I sign in to Aliexpress. I'll post a pic when I fit them. They look the part with the Lexus logo etched into them but won't know how good they are till I get my hands on them.

Steve

[SHELLDRAKE]

O.K. steve here they are

[SHELLDRAKE]

HI Steve:I like the idea of the pedal covers, I have tried to find the same on e- bay but so far no luck, can you give me any info of the procedure that you used please.

[SH20]

Sorry I'm late getting back to you Norman. The company is definitely Aliexpress who sell the Lexus pedal covers but I ordered them via E Bay. Suggest you go into E bay and search for Lexus branded pedal covers. A few will appear without the Lexus logo but keep searching and I'm sure you will come across the branded ones which is a four piece set for the 430 which I believe has a foot operated parking brake pedal. I have no need for that piece but I'm confident the 3 other pieces will fit. I'll send you a PM and see if I can copy the E Bay advert. You can always purchase from E Bay as a guest if you don't have an E Bay account.

Regards

Steve

My mistake Norman. the actual company who sell branded Lexus pedal covers are autoalliance a company who sell on e bay. I've sent you a PM.

Cheers

Steve
