No it's not on this post lol. If you go over to the IS-F forum you'll see some posts about how superior the IS-F is over the F-Sport. I even saw some snobby comments on the Lexus facebook page.

I mean, yeah, it's cool you own an IS-F, but how snobby do you have to be to put down F-sports or M-sports? It's marketing strategy. I love my spindle grille, my LFA gauge cluster, and my adaptive variable suspension. The suspension alone is probably what helped the car beat the 3 series last year.

If you get the original F-Sport Badge, be prepared to poke holes into both sides of the car.

Geez. You guys are harsh. So what if the guy wants to make his car look like the F-Sport. I will take some pictures of the badges on my car and post them up for you later OP.

No offense, but why spend all the time and efforts to make your IS look like an F Sport?

I don't see why it matters if someone wants to put an F Sport badge on their Non F Sport. People come to this forum for help not to be judged. I think this forum should just provide the help he is asking for.

Let people do what they like with their car...I just took some measurements that should help you. Using RaysurX's photo (sorry I was too lazy to take my photo as it's dark outside now) I labelled the distances from the character line and edge of the fender to the center of the respective sides of the badge. Note the logo is level with the ground, not with the character line.

I will note the vertical measurement is a bit arbitrary since the line isn't well defined. On second thought, I could have measured from the bottom where it contacts with the rocker panel, but verticality would probably result in a similar error.

the same thing happens in this subforum too with some 350 owners' comments regarding their superiority over the 250s. it happens on EVERY forum

Can you also measure the size of the front Lexus L emblem? I don't have a tape measure with me

Not quite.

A forum is a community, where people can discuss a shared interest in a product. NOTHING says you have to play nice, or be overly kind.

That is the problem with our society. Everyone wants to be everyone's friend. Thing is....life isn't that way, so don't expect it to be.

On my 2011 IS250 F Sport the badges are between the wheel well and the front door.

That's not what I saw in that "is the IS250 a girls car" thread.

I guess we can agree to disagree.
