Has anyone done the F-Sport badge on the side of the car? Just as easy as the IS badge?

Are there pins in the F sport badge on the trunk? Looking to debadge this weekend but want to double check that first.

Based on this link, it doesn't look like it does. I know for a fact that the ISX50 does not. The L on the trunk lid does. You could always call the dealer parts department.

Hey i have a question,
If i've had my car since 2014 is it too late to debadge it now? Im curious if the paint around the emblem would be more worn out than under the emblem and leave a noticable trace where the emblem used to be if i debadge it.

I debadged mine after two years of ownership. No trace whatsoever of where the IS350 used to be.

Same here. Bought my Atomic Silver 2014 when it was two years old and promptly rebadged it; no traces at all.

Elapsed time is ~15 minutes if you are taking your time and being careful.

[1] Use a hairdryer to warm the badges and the tape used to attach them. Be patient as rushing it will lead to more work removing the tape.

[2] Once they are warm and tape is a bit gooey, just pull them off. I used my fingernails for leverage but if you have a plastic tool that won't scratch your paint, you could use it for leverage.

[3] If there's any remaining tape, use goo-gone or something similar. You will want to use a bit of compound and wax to protect the paint after this.

Hello,

I've been searching but couldn't find the answer. Could someone tell me how to get the RPM gauge to display instead of the "Charge/Eco/Power" gauge, if it's possible? I thought the rpm thing is gone on 2018 model since you can no longer rev the car in park mode, but I saw it on other year model. Thanks.

Not sure you posted in the right forum but in our NX Hybrid, the easiest way to do that is to turn the drive **** to Sport.

I used "quick reply" while reading another forum but somehow my post ended in here.

Thanks for your tip. It works for me.
