Found it on this OEM site for $36.50

Will have to call them / read reviews first to see about delivery time.

If you push the issue, they should honor the Lexus MSRP

Part # 75443-53270 has an MSRP of $48.66

The price you got is marked up on a 30% scale

I agree. I like the side badges, but somehow on the back it doesn't work as well. I think because of the silver lettering that's already there. On the Nebula pic it seems to blend a little better, but I'd still prefer without. If I were ordering a 2015 Fsport right now I'd ask if they can leave the rear badge off.

It's $35.89 from Sewell with the CL discount code. You can order it by putting in the part number. It's shipping on 8/18

Sorry but I am a fan of less is more, I really like the look of the back without any badging. But I hope that you like how it turned out...

Yeah, that's cool. I see guys runnin' with no badges at all, and I get it. It's a clean look, but...not for me.
The 2015 F Sport trunk badge is killer!! I have NO idea why someone would take it off.

As they say "to each his own".

Ya, good point! Judging from JoeZ's pics, that badge doesn't work on some colors.

it should just be the f sport emblem without the "IsX50".
