Looks like a plain mesh grill to me with any plain lexus emblem. Doesn't look bad on the IS300 but I don't think it would look too great on a 2IS.

People have done that with the 2IS. One member put the "Lexus" logo in the middle of the grill. It looked okay.

It'll look good on the IS300, but not on the 2IS. Looks really cheap and fake.

there was another one-off with a smaller emblem on one side... i remember it suited that car very well, I think the car was silver with a Blitz front lip add-ons.

I actually think it doesn't look that bad... lol. But I agree, the "Lexus" would look better off to the bottom left or bottom right.

i think the lexus logo is too long for us to put on our cars...maybe something smaller

i think the trd might look okay...


and the centered look looks kinda off imo
