Default F-Sport Equipped Badge/Emblem

Came across the following FSport Equipped emblem/badge:

Has anyone put it on their cars, just wondering where it would look nice? on the fenders one on each side maybe?

I think it looks koo and tacky at the same time


My only concern would be some hater ripping it off due to only double sided tape.

Did a little PS and if it were me, I would put it next to the ISx50 emblem. BTW not my car.

Do you really NEED to advertise that you have F-Sport equipment installed? Just wondering....

EXACTLY, if they are sponsoring you, wear it loud and proud. In not, do not.

The only way I'd buy that is as a gag gift for somebody.

I personally like the badgeing. I had a TRD badge on the rear of my IS300 and one in the interior to illustrate my intake. I guess it is a matter of preference.

God the haters.... I think it looks fine. Remove the IS250 and place F-sport logo in place of it.

I have F-sport sways and intake and I also have a pair of those F-sport badges. I think they are a bit tacky so I decided not to put those on...

I do too I also dont see anything bad about it...it does dress up the car a little bit more.
And F-sport is a Lexus part upgrade why not show it off.
