It's the same type of stuff I saw when I were on Bimmerforums/Bimmerfest. I think placing an M badge on a Non-M car is the same as ISF on a non-ISF car, as many here feel that it reflects on the Lexus community as a whole, while in fact it's just a matter of personal preference.

Good looking car, I think it's fine (I'm biased since I have H-Techs :P) and welcome OP!

looks good! do you have more photos from different angles? I was considering H-Techs but wasn't familiar with them so I ended up with Swift springs.

Gold wheels on black always seem to work well together.

I agree, the new F-Sport front is quite similar in a way to the IS-F front. In fact many members prefer the F-Sport front instead of the IS-F front. I just prefer the IS-F front because its simple, no real need to add an additional lip, etc.

I have been running Tein H-Tech for over 4 yrs without any problems and the ride is smooth. I decided on Teins because I am familiar with their products having purchased the S Tech and SS coil overs for my previous cars. Tein offer quality products and if anything went wrong, I could always visit their business since it was local. I chose the H-Tech over the S-Tech because I didn't want that much of a drop seeing that I was living in SF and my gf would be driving my car.

If I didn't go with the Tein springs, I would have went with some coil overs.

How are the swift springs treating you?

Not sure how it's hating. People are entitled to their own opinions. It's a thread in a public forum, you can't expect every single person to give a positive comment to OP. It's like a YouTube video, there'll always be likes and dislikes, do you consider that hating? Dislikes does not equal hate.

People on here that talked about the badge were just giving their own opinions on it, OP can take it or leave it, but to cry about it and say people are hating is just immature. I don't care if the OP is female or not, because I don't believe in gender bias and feel everyone should be treated the same, regardless of gender.. but how she's offended by others' opinions so easily is just plain ignorant. OP made a thread to show off her car, of course there'll be positive and negative comments. Not everyone has the same taste..

I don't care if you go to the friendliest forum on the internet, there'll always be criticisms because it's a freaking forum for crying out loud. /thread.... l0l...

Totally agree. No one was hating just simply pointing out the fact that ahe placed a ISF badge on ur 350.

see this is an example of a friendly way of giving your opinion unlike others who said things like "nice isf not. i mean is350" or putting a dumb meme saying u failed this thread bla bla and i understand but im not being a "poser" because i still have my fsport badges and have a sticker tht says is350. I just love how the isf bage looks becuz of the blue on the f im not actually claiming it to be an isf... and its an "isf" bumper so i didnt think it would come off as a poser thats all lol but thank you for your opinion!

IMO you should take the F badge off and either put the F Sport badge or the X50 badge instead. It comes across as posing. Other than that, car looks good!

"Jakers, stop hating." l0l. She has a ISF rear bumper, so she could put whatever she wants. /Logic.

She'll think I'm hating again, but I agree that she could do whatever she wants if she likes it, but just stop being so offended because it's a public forum. Do what you want like OP, just constructive criticisms, don't gotta be offended... Jeez..

All I'm saying is, it doesn't matter the car brand/make/model, but when you start putting badges on a car, that isn't what the badge says it is, people are going to say things. Its contradicting. AGAIN, other than that the car looks great!
