Default Debadging 2017 IS 200T

Hey fellas,
I am planning on debadging my 2017 IS 200T. Does anyone know if it’s just adhesive behind the emblems or does it have the holes too?

Thanks for you help!

Fenders badges have holes behind them.

I debadge mine because I only had the IS350 and no F Sport on the back since it's a 2014. It felt off kilter.
If you only take the IS200t off, to me, it's gonna seem off kilter.


It looks cleaner with nothing on back.

Nice car, looks great in nebula grey.
I just installed the 2017+ FSport diffuser on mine, along with some lip spoilers.
Been working on improving the looks from behind and I think the debadging will definetly add to the simplicity of the car.

If I could find some oem 2017+ IS/RC exhaust tips, I will be complete.

Did you leave the square FSport badges on the front fenders?

Thanks. I did leave the f sport badges on the fenders (they have holes behind them). I did paint the white part black though. Keeping the dark theme of the car.

I’ve never been a fan of debadging especially when the owner is trying to fool other drivers into making the model something it is not (e.g. making others think a 200t is really a 350). Leaving such things alone will make the car worth more in the long run.

No holes and quite easy to come off.

Good info!
Great to know before taking them off and realizing the mistake.

Might do the trunk this coming weekend, after rotors/pads/oil change.
