I'm really fascinated with some of the new markings on Lexus'.

If anyone could point me in the right direction to get the following things I'd really appreciate it!

first off I'd kill for a rear L badge off of a new LS600hL, with the blue on the inside..I think it would look killer on my car.

and also some F badges off of the new isF.

yea..where could i get that stuff? aftermarket vendors (even though the cars have barely come out) or dealers? or theft? haha jkjk

Where would you put the F badge? If you buy an F Lexus car, it will already come with the badge so there is no need to buy one separately. If you don't have an F Lexus car there is no place to put an F badge on a NON F Lexus car anyway. Unless you just want the F badge for display at your house or something?

err we had a LS600h blue badge discussion in the 2IS forum and the consensus there was, no. As for a F badge on a non-F lexi? Whats your opinion on M badging on non-M bmw's? I know what mine is, i know what alot of my friends are... I know one guy who cut 2 big 4barrel carb intake stacks and glued it to his '80 something buick regal's hood, from far it looked wicked but when you got close...

The blue L badge is nice.

Until the IS-F hits the market, pretty sure the only source will be the dealer.

However, I hope you don't put the F on the lexus.

It'll be like the MB guys putting AMG and kompressor badges on their stock cars

blue badge means you have a hybrid Lexus
F- badge means you have a F car Lexus

Those badges should not go on any other cars and I will be vocal about doing things the RIGHT way.

I concur.

However, it can be a nice mod to add color to the "L" emblem, just don't be a poser by using the hybrid badges or F badges.

Imitation is flattery. Flat out copying is forgery...

well I was just wondering about the F..I thought it would look nice as something to put on the side...I'm not trying to pose.

but as for the blue L...I think i'd be a nice touch up to any Lexus...

I'm going to buy a full set of 600h badges and retag my whole car...It's going to be an RX600h. I like the blue...I'm not trying to pose. as soon as you hear my exhaust you know it's not a hybrid..
