If you're that embarrassed about your car, trade it or sell it.

You should def get F badges and skip the IS350 if that's your plan. The F is much faster and doesn't have the 350 motor.

dental floss, double wrap your fingers with it and your good. I do the same with all my cars i've had. I don't like the look of badges.
these a55holes with their condescending comments belong in the infinite forum, full of d1cks in their too, I forget IS section is a younger crowd so I'm not surprised but still... usually a better class in here

Its not that we condone the idea of stripping emblems. Its that he plans to put IS350 badges/F badge on a IS250. A NON IS350, A NON F car. Which is like WHY?

The 350/F badging was a joke. The intent was just a clean look w/o badges if you didn't get the sarcasm fyi.

Lol 99% of people that see your car will think nice Lexus. Only ethusiasts know the difference between a 250 and 350

Your stuck with atleast the lexus logo since it's molded into the trunk. Not sure anyone has done a badge delete yet it would take a bit of body work and new paint.

If you remove the badges there WILL NOT be any holes behind to worry about. So that's a plus.

I noticed most debadged IS I see are 250. Be happy with what you got you're not fooling anyone that knows IS well.

I doubt most people will even notice it's debadged.
AFAIK I'm the only debaged IS around here. Mine is a 350, so I guess everybody thinks it's a 250.
I'll start caring when they start making my payments for me.
