The Lexus L emblem are on 06 to 13 IS' as well as the 2014. Now maybe they changed the design and eliminated the holes sometime....

For the 2011-2013 IS in the USA, they stopped putting the LEXUS word emblem on the rear.

My 2011 IS350 only has the L emblem and the IS350 emblem on the rear.

I'm wondering also the other day, Why my 2011 F-sport doesn't have the LEXUS on the left side of the trunk.

Now we know!


I guess Lexus saves 3 or 4 bucks a unit by leaving that badge off.

2011+ USA/Canada-Spec models dropped the "LEXUS" nameplate. Other countries kept it.
