Klexus Badge Update/Review

[Clearly Canadian]

I happen to really like the so-called “Klexus” symbol so I purchased the replacement badges through my dealer. I believe they are now on sale in the forum store as well.

Keep in mind these are glorified stickers; I’m not sure how long they will last.

For wheels:
Dissatisfied. They are 1-2mm too wide and so don’t quite fit on the existing badge. As a result I don’t think they are completely mated to each other. I tried tucking the edges into the surounding groove but that ended up just making a mess of things. If you look closely, one of the badges got beaten up when I was trying to make it fit. The final product looks good though.



Steering wheel:
Dissatisfied. Looks good at first glance, but the sticker does not follow the contour of the actual badge. As a result, you can stick your finger under the edges on either side.


Rear and front badges:
Satisfied. I think they look great. They look legit.

I too like this design and recently fitted the overlay version from Loden emblems. Rear was good fit, front good but marginally too small, steering wheel not profiled to fit, so didn’t apply this one.
Will likely order the badges with this design from the forum store. The hood one with stinger script especially looks the goods

Never really been a fan of overlaying anything on the factory emblems, specially another emblem. The oem emblems are thick as is and if you stick another emblem equally as thick then it will protrude too much. IMHO a better application for this alternative will be removing the oem emblems and then sticking these on the same place.

That's how I feel as well. The set I sell in our store has a front and rear "badge" but the wheel caps and steering wheel pieces are overlays. The overlays pictured in the first post look MUCH thicker than the ones I have. I think thinner is better. The new KLexus.com sets should be available soon anyway...

This is a good clarification for the product. I looked at it at one point and couldn’t tell if it was a sticker or not. There seems to be more options available than even a month ago which is good.

I’m from the too scared to damage paint brigade
Overlays been a good way of checking do I like that look. Now I’m set on that will pluck up the courage to add these k badges.
