well 24k is much heavier than silver, so I guess it's to increase some serious weight in his fwd car. I guess he didn't want a wing ;) :lol:

yea...450$ is pretty steep lol. i personally removed the "toyota and se badges and in their place added..."TRD and SPORT" they are chrome though...450 for badges is a little too rich for my blood. bet they will look bad arse though, send me some pics after you put em on

Well I think it looks cool. Good for you.

What color is your car?

Of course, I got the gold emblems too. I can't remember how much they were. I got them with the car. I still have my sticker somewhere.

I actually bought a single chrome "solara" emblem off of Ebay for $2.00
I got some double sided tape and stuck to my tool box at work.

Personally, I think the gold emblems look nice on certain colors and cars... not sure the Solara qualifies as one, but I'd have to see it I guess. I see a lot of Hondas with them if that tells you anything... ;)

I guess you came here for comments and opinions, and you're getting plenty. ;)

Colors I think it looks best on are a deep , charcoal and pearl white. My personal prefs at least.

Post pics on your car when you get them. :up:
