Here's what I had done prior, but I didn't think it looked as good. I painted the "F-Sport emblems" w/ Black paint only leaving the "F" Blue. I dunno, but I think I cheapen it even more...either way, I'm gonna post it up for you guys to decide or for you guys to get ideas in case you guys already had the thought in mind.

I guess stealth is what i was going for...you practically can't see any emblems on my car...dunno if its a good thing or a bad thing...

The painted look so much better, but isn't 3 badges kinda too much? 1 emblem on the rear is enough.

and removing "LEXUS" from the rear and put the F-sport badge, would look nicer.

i think you're right....3 is a little too much...but i don't think the F-sport badge looks good from the rear at all (Maybe its because i still haven't found a perfect spot for it to fit). I say if anyone should put on it, should only put it on the sides....but then again, the funny thing is i traded my g/f's Scion tC w/my Lexus b/c I want her to have a nicer car and she doesn't like any of the F-sport emblems on the car...i may just remove all of it.....still debating...

Somehow I don't like the word "equipped" in the emblem.

Yea, I don't know if blacking out the "sport equipped" is good, because from far away it looks like you are sporting fake IS-F badges.. ha ha

I like these I saw at SEMA on the 2009 IS350 F-Sport Edition....

^^ The f-sport badge looks good on the SEMA IS because in the trunk, it has that same color spoiler that complements the badge, if it didn't have it, it would be another story

Maybe emblem would look good in chrome such as "Lexus" or "ISx50".. Maybel the Blue F and Sport in Chrome or something!

^^^That F-Sport badge is so much better than the one with the word "equipped".

scruffydog

i totally agree....only if Lexus sells it...can't wait...

So I said I would post some pictures as comparison as to what it would look like in Black Chrome. It cost me about ~$15 each emblem...since this was chromed over the F-Sport emblem, it doesn't look as sharp as it would if it was chromed directly onto the ABS.







Now, the only thing left is to find some Blue & Black paint and maybe paint the "F" blue and maybe the "Sport" in black....any ideas as to what kinda paint would not look too cheap?

NOTE: The black chrome looks way darker than it really is (especially when compared to the OEM Black Pearl Chrome)....next time I will post some comparison pictures on the car.

PS> Oh yea, btw, I took the Embelms off from my front grille and it looks a lot better.

IS-SV

Or at least a Corolla.
