It looks fine to me. F badge looks much better than f sport imo... I have no problem with GS + F badge as long as you enjoy it.

You better remove that badge when the real deal is launched. I think something like this would have been more appropriate.... at least have a V8 hehe..

looks crowded.

in my opinion, that would look better if you removed the 'lexus' badge on the lower driver side trunk and replace it with the 'f sport equipted ' badge instead of stacking it on top of the gs460.

So I was in my workshop this morning when my wife and 1st grade son come walking into the garage, unaware that I was right around the corner. Upon noticing the F badge, my Wife asks my son "what's that sticker on your Dad's car?" After moving in for a closer look, he replies without missing a beat "that's a waste of money is what that is".

Et tu, Son?

I still like how it looks, but admit that I took my brain off the big picture. Thanks for swatting my weak argument aside and keeping it real guys.

"That is the worst idea I've ever heard in my life"



There is no GS F, period. Its like seeing M5 badges on a 528 or E63 badges on a E350. If you have F-sport parts then get the F-sport badge as stated.
