It looks like the lower left-hand corner of the F-Sport emblem will be the exact same distance inward from the apex of the radius as the GS 350 emblem is measured. And, the bottom of both emblems will be the exact same distance above the bottom horizontal edge of the trunk lid. Just duplicate those two measurements (see below) of the GS 350 emblem for where to put the F-Sport emblem on the left side.

Here's how I'm going to do my template.

I'm going to use a piece of paper or a masking tape as the rectangle in the pic, then trim it to follow the trunk edge, then put a mark at the end of the GS350 badge. Then flip the paper and use it for the other side and there u have it, a perfectly aligned emblem. The inner yellow marking isn't important.

Here it is!

This is the one specifically for the 2015 GS. Got it from Sewell (RIP) for $20! That's even cheaper than the one they have on the main page, which is just a universal one, no guarantees it'll fit the GS curves.

Don't u just love it when everything is installed to perfection? Now my "like" for this car just rocketed by 1 Million points.



Watch the video here.

Those new f sport emblems are pretty cool! I was thinking of getting a pair! I wonder how it would look if you pull the 350 and stick the f-sport emblem there?

Already did mine months ago. It wasn't Straight. I will need to get some thin and sticky double sided tape and redo. I'll use a an android leveler app to help next time.
