To each their own. But I have every F-sport option on my 08 sport, and still wont put a badge on it. Because its not an F-sport.

I like it!

Guy's he's not putting Type R or IS-F badges on, calm down. Don't you guy realize just how insignificant the REAL F-Sports are when it comes to performance parts?

Hmm... I guess that's a start.


Slap on some REAL F-Sport Accessories like wheels, sways, suspension...then your car will do the F badge more justice than even a factory F-Sport ISx50. Just sayin...

Agreed, I think that badge would be the last thing to pop on after all the F-Sport accessories are on. Then it's a bit more respectable to have such a badge on a non F-Sport.

But to each their own, I wouldn't even dare do that to mine unless the majority of the F-Sport accessories were on my car first.

Fellas F-sport are just accessories. Just like the L-tuned version of the 1 gen IS and 2nd Gen GS.

Looks good OP.

I personally don't like it, just because there's nothing F-Sport about the car besides the badge. You should have waited to put it on until you got the grille and/or F-Sport wheels.

BRB, gonna put IS350 badges on my 250 because "I have plans" to swap the engine out.

Except that the badge isn't an accessory, it only comes on factory F-Sport cars, which don't even come with any of the F-Sport accessories. F-Sport accessories are like L-Tuned accessories, they are aftermarket parts sold by Lexus dealers.

I always say you are free to do whatever you like to your car, it's your car after all. You're entitled to like what you like, just as others are entitled to not like it if they don't want to, haha.

Without at least the exhaust, intake and espeically the BBK... why bother with the emblem?

The comments that dont agree with this were surely expected with this kind of post, i would hope...
