Would the Turbo badge be the same as what's on a 300SDL? Just asking because I have one on the parts car.

I've been slowly replacing the badges on my Lexus with mint condition used ones when they turn up on Ebay. My car came with Gold badges, and I hate them.

I purchased a used "Diesel" badge for my trunk after bending the original, and breaking it when I tried to straighten it out.

I set up a search and save it in my "Favorite Searches" on MyEbay. Then I check back every few days looking for new ones in good condition, that are cheap. (You can also receive E-mail notices, if you prefer.) My full set of rear badges for my Lexus were $9.99, delivery included. I bid on them when they first showed up, then nobody else bid. I bought a brand new, never installed driver's side mirror glass for my 240d for $0.99 delivered, last winter, the same way.

I highly recommend this method!

I only deal with sellers who have 98%+ feedback ratings, and have never had a bad experience, so far, with almost 50 transactions.

On 2nd thought

I looked on Ebay, and they're not on there right now. Might be harder to find if they were unique to the 87 only diesels. I'm not sure if the newer 300D 2.5 emblems are the same. If so, they might be easier to find.
