Default Carbon Fiber Trunk Logo

Nice fit and unique look now. What y'all think?

Looking to add roof spoiler but still deciding between that and trunk spoiler. I don't like factory spoiler. Roof spoiler is rare

I like it, mainly because I've had mine (on silver) since I bought my car. I bought the same when I had my Mazda CX-5. Great durability and I think it looks better since the Lexus logo is more visible versus silver on silver in my case. If you get a carbon fiber diffuser it will also match quite well.

Same here! I've had mine on for over a year and it still looks just like new.

Is it actual carbon fiber, or just a sticker?

How well does it age in the sun?

Do you mean "fine" in the sun?

Also, can anyone confirm, is the Lexus badge the same in the back of all cars? Say, the '15 IS is the same the '15 NX?

Just got logo so can't say about aging. It's carbon fiber so don't expect to fade?

usually w/ pieces like that, you don't have to worry about fading. an issue that might come up is the yellowing of the resin.
