I have 2 cars. One original IS250 F Sport factory package with tons of F Sport accessories so this is truly a F Sport car.

On my IS350, I have F Sport springs, shocks, and swaybar so I also put one F Sport badge in the trunk (not the two sides) to signify that F Sport accessories are installed.

I think the two sides should be for cars with F Sport factory package while one emblem can be put in the rear trunk area to signify F Sport accessories upgrade.

Also, I'm a big F Sport fan too so

Don't act like you know S.h.i.t when you don't.

There is "F-Sport Equipped Badge" out there to signify F Sport accessories upgrade which is different from the F Sport factory emblems that are put on 2 sides of the car.

There are 2 types of F Sport which can be confusing to lot of people. Lexus really needs to create 2 different names to distinguish the difference.

1. F Sport factory package that comes with 2011-2013 ISx50.
2. F Sport Accessories which offer better performance than the F Sport factory package.

I have 2 IS, one with F Sport factory package and one without. However, I still upgrade both cars with F Sport accessories on them. Therefore in my case, the IS250 with F Sport factory package and accessories upgrades is true F Sport.

^ Thank you sir for actually explaining and clarifying the differences.


Honestly, if you don't have anything useful to contribute, please don't. There are probably many that kept their mouth shut who don't agree with this simple ADDITION (not even a 'mod'), so thank you for keeping the forums clean and free of clutter. The ones that have to butt in and flame on, seriously?

We're arguing about a fricking emblem here guys. That is the bottom line.

In the end, there are people who love stance, people who love function, people with IS-F's, and others with X50s. We're all enthusiasts so lets show each other some respect.

It's all contained in this one thread though, so it's not really like it's cluttering the forums, just this one thread, haha.

As I said before, if you like them, like them. Do whatever.

In fact, I have them on my car, but what I didn't do after putting them on was start a thread asking for other people's opinion on it, haha. There are many threads like this on here, and while I don't really think it's that big of a deal, posting about every time you stuck something on your car is a bit much, lol.

This topic has actually come up before too, so it's not like it hasn't been discussed at length before. I don't know why you need someone else's opinion on something like this, haha.

Oh well.

In the spirit of the thread though, here is my car with F-Sport emblems!

That "F Sport equipped" badge is an aftermarket emblem made by a vendor, and not oem Lexus fyi. I think it looks rice, like how you see "vtec" stickers on a none vtec equipped Hondas.

The furthest I'd go is to have a F Sport licence plate frame and key fob glove.
I think the badge looks out of place on non f sport isx50s too. But to each his own.
