I prefer the clean look without the badges, no other reasons. Cheers

I was just told there's a hole under the badge..... I think with the bumper and wheels its obvious to those who knows its a F sport, to others it's just a Lexus.

I am taking delivery in 4 hours on a 450h f sport in Taiwan. It is good to be back after 8 years!

Cheers!

Taking off badges is fine, but in cases like this, the F Sport badge looks classy and makes the car look sharp. But to each their own. Congrats BTW!!

I think OP wants to be a sleeper killer, and have the element of surprise

See F-Sport badges on this eBay link. Scroll down to see the two alignment prongs that go into the body of the car.

I would also consider debadging if I had an F Sport. I agree with the OP.

I don't want to antagonize anyone but I'm not sure I'd classify the GS-350, F Sport or not, as a "killer". It will reasonably get out of harm's way but a racer she's not.

To each his own, but I think the dark gray F Sport badge matches the graphite wheels and grille. It keeps the theme flowing along the car.

I ordered the gray color. It does come with LED, ML, HUD.

When I took delivery on the car, I put the car on sports+ mode and rev the engine while in parked position. It felt weak.... I was disappointed then. After I drove off the lot, I stepped on it and WOW! She is a beast!

It doesnt have the sound of the 350, but she is fast!

Just few pix of the LED lights since the rest of the details are identical. Had the tints done this morning, all windows including windshield and moon roof. Took 5 hours, looks dark from outside but very transparent from inside!
