F-Sport Trunk Badge
Hey F-Sporters, I just did a quick de-badge of the 350 and replaced it with an F-Sport badge. Felt the usual 350 badge was a bit dull looking. Just wanted to share with you guys what it would look like if you were curious.
Also, here's a link to the trunk badge I bought on eBay as well (badge came legit with Toyota part #75361-76010 and everything):

*Note - trunk badge is larger than the badges found on our fenders

The pursuit of F
On mine, I squeezed the f-sport badge to the left and kept the entire original badge. Yours, makes me immediately think of the IS F badge which is of course a great thing

I like it! I've never realized there wasn't a F Sport badge on the rear hatch! It should come this way from the factory like the IS F and other brands (BMW M; MB AMG) so the car can be distinctive from the rear as well. I wonder if they didn't badge it because the engine is not high peformance as in the case of the IS350 vs. the IS F. The IS350 with the F Sport appearance package doesn't have a badge on the trunk so I think this is the case.
Anyway the car looks awesome! Enjoy!

No, I don't play soccer!
A slighly different badging is a good idea. Heck the 450h has blue inside the lettering and a different L emblem on the tail gate. Maybe they can do that with the F as well.

It looks good. I wish Lexus left the Lexus badging on the back, not just RX. I read that Lexus management stated that the L was enough for brand recognition. Yeah right. It was really the bean counters saving $2.00 per new vehicle made.

IMO, not sure I agree it was a cost decision. I believe it really was to appear less tacky, increase brand recognition by relying on the "L" symbol only much like the competitors. Imagine seeing "M e r c e d e s B e n z" written out near the 3-point star on the rear... Lexus wants their cars to be instantly recognizable and not because someone reads out the brand name on the back, and after almost 25 years of brand building in N. America, timing is good now. My 2 cents...
Btw, Sleepking did a nice job indeed!
