Sorry, but the TRD and F-sport badges just don't look very good. Don't have an exact reason why, they just look too ricey.

I noticed that as well. Looks like a serious paint issue, rock chips, or??

Not trying to knock anyone, but why would you want to put on an F badge when it's not? It's like being a poser. I can see putting on a TRD on a Toyota and even a Lexus, but changing the badges to make a 250 a 350 or an IS-F is ridiculous. Be proud of what you have and quit trying to make it something it's not.

I used to have that for my Celica but never got to put it on. When I got the Lexus, I sold the emblem too...

Same reason why girls buy knockoffs from hong kong? Same reason why girls pad their bras? Same reason why old men buy vettes/porsh/ferrari? Same reason why young guys put N1 exhausts on a civic dx? Wassa matter witchu? you should know this by now...

I usually wouldn't mind a TRD logo, but the one on that grill looks like a cheesy knock off. I would stick with the "L".

TRD and the 1IS makes sense, they made parts for it, the Altezza name etc..

TRD has NO affiliation with the 2IS....so its actually rice. Just wait for some "F-Sport" badges....or Tom's (if you have the parts).

So I guess it's alright if you own a V6 base mustang to put cobra badges on it and put cobra stickers everywhere? I'd be embarassed to put on IS-F badges on my 350...The people that are into cars know and laugh at those that do stupid things like that.
