Be advised - the process is not cheap.
Certain model year options for the IS300 came with black chrome emblems. Same with the previous generation of Camry that came with black emblems. Those were all factory emblems you're seeing. Of course the IS black chrome emblem looks much better than the black ones on the Camry.

Talk to Cody at www.infiniti-parts.com

He will be sending my emblems out to be black chromed shortly.

The process takes time and is not so cheap but it can definitely be done.

Black chrome = black pearl. I'd be surprised to find out that Lexus offered it as a factory option. I think the dealerships were offering that at their level. I could be wrong. I know I've seen them on various Lexus models more frequently than any other brand. If it gives you an idea of how much it costs, I take a loss at a price point of $50 per emblem (including the emblem itself). And I got better pricing because I sent more than 35 emblems in the first batch run.

That is black chrome. BC is very difficult to photograph. They look much better in person.

Yeah, it is hard to photograph and give them justice. Lighting plays a big part. Much better looking in person like K67p67 said.
Here's my set I got from K67p67 quite awhile ago for my DG coupe and still getting props from ppl.




And my previous JDM set not chromed

They're hella better looking than painting black, imo.
