Default LS460 F-Sport emblem badge location measurement??

Hey guys,

Does anyone know the proper factory location for the F-Sport emblem on the 2013+ LS460 F-Sport?

Or, can someone here with an LS460 F-Sport help me out with measuring your emblems?

Preferably a measurement in millimeters from:
- The bottom corner of emblem closest to doorjam-to-doorjam.
&
- The top edge of emblem-to-upper fenderline/fold.


I've seen F-Sport emblem location/install illustrations before, with similar measurements as above. But, they were for IS, RX and other Lexuses and didn't look correct for the LS460.

The IS/other-Lexus emblem illustrations I saw before, measured 50mm*50mm and another measured 83mm*50mm (doorjam*fenderline).

Those measurements don't sound correct for the LS460 right off the bat, because I noticed the car pics online are the opposite to the aforesaid measurements and look like the spacing is much larger from the emblem-to-fenderline, rather than the emblem-to-doorjam.

Measurements for the Rear emblem location are very welcome too


Any help greatly appreciated!

From the bottom corner of the emblem to the back edge of the fender is 90mm.

From the top edge of the emblem to the top line in the fender as it starts to radius over is 100mm.

For Rear:

from the top left corner of the emblem, measuring horizontally with ruler resting along top of emblem, is 25mm to the diagonal trunk crease.

From bottom of emblem to bottom edge of trunk lid is 23mm.

One more question (I should've asked before ordering):

- What's the correct size for the side/fender emblems?

I've noticed there are 2 diff sizes available, when I search for them on ebay - 35x50mm and 45x65mm.

I have a pair of the 35x50mm coming in the mail soon. I hope I ordered the correct size for the LS460 (I can always return/exchange it I think).


^^

My 2015 measures 35h x about 52 wide, so I assume the 35 x 50 you have coming is what these are supposed to be.

Cool. Looks like I got lucky, and don't need to return/exchange them.

Installed them today. Measurements were spot on and look perfect (used tape, string/thread and lots of double/triple measuring). Very beautiful emblems. It’s not a MY13+ with the newer spindle grill - but the badges still go very nicely with the SE's forged 19”s, Brembos, full body kit, front grill and the lower sport-air-suspension's ride-height

Can’t wait to get the rear emblem too (just ordered it today).
