Found it on this OEM site for $36.50

Will have to call them / read reviews first to see about delivery time.

If you push the issue, they should honor the Lexus MSRP

Part # 75443-53270 has an MSRP of $48.66

The price you got is marked up on a 30% scale

I agree. I like the side badges, but somehow on the back it doesn't work as well. I think because of the silver lettering that's already there. On the Nebula pic it seems to blend a little better, but I'd still prefer without. If I were ordering a 2015 Fsport right now I'd ask if they can leave the rear badge off.

It's $35.89 from Sewell with the CL discount code. You can order it by putting in the part number. It's shipping on 8/18

Sorry but I am a fan of less is more, I really like the look of the back without any badging. But I hope that you like how it turned out...

Yeah, that's cool. I see guys runnin' with no badges at all, and I get it. It's a clean look, but...not for me.
The 2015 F Sport trunk badge is killer!! I have NO idea why someone would take it off.

As they say "to each his own".

I like the badge. Finally making the Fsport distinct from the rear

Ya, good point! Judging from JoeZ's pics, that badge doesn't work on some colors.

it should just be the f sport emblem without the "IsX50".
