Default Lexus ISF Front Emblem Question.

Does anyone know where I can buy this front emblem for the ISF?



It's just like the ISF's OEM wheel center cap design.

I have never seem any ISF owners have this emblem. Only seen them in some promotional videos and early 2008 ISF test cars. Anyone know why?

Thanks.

I believe that the center Lexus emblem, like the one shown in your picture, is tied into the radar cruise control found on some F's.

That's a pre-crash emblem.

You could get the hybrid emblem from sewell. Looks almost the same with a blue outline.

$699 for an emblem? I guess it must have some electronics inside it.

It does have a sensor behind it. It is for the optional pre-crash warning system.
If you like the look of it just go with the hybird emblem that everyone uses.

That CT200 emblem looks pretty cool... lol @ this in like 70 pt font. "IF YOUR LOOKING TO PUT THIS ON ANOTHER VEHICLE PLEASE DON'T ASK IF IT WILL FIT. ITS DESIGN TO FIT CT200H ONLY.

IF YOU LIKE TO BE CREATIVE AND TRY TO PUT IT ON ANOTHER VEHICLE WHICH MANY LEXUS OWNERS ARE DOING, THE MEASUREMENTS ARE 6 1/2 X 5 AND NO ADHESIVE IN THE BACK JUST SNAPS INTO THE ORIGINAL FACTORY GRILL. "

I personally will not put a hybrid emblem on my F even if it fits.

sorry for thread jacking but was wondering if anyone had any experience with a F badge for the front grille?

I'd just get an F badge and attach it to the front grille. Not sure what adhesive is best though

That's exactly what I want. Haven't found a good way to stick the stock F badge on the front grille. T4orce can you let me know how you went about doing that? Thanks

I bought a spare side F badge, aligned it on the grille and stuck it on. It's using the adhesive that comes with it. It's been on for a year and looks as though it's not coming off easily. Makes the front a little more special in my opinion.
