In two words - NO WAY The "F" emblem and quad exhaust tips enough identification.

I believe someone mentioned there is a mount hole behind the I

If you think it looks good, then just do it but don't post about it here. We're all going to think it looks like ricey, vato zone crap.

Really de-values the car and makes it seem cheap, in my opinion.

To thread starter MWIS350: Is that a picture of your SFP F in post #1? If yes, did you go with the "5.0" badges on the fenders?

The factory initially applied the F badge to it's exclusive cars. It's fast cars. The ones with a V8 or V10 with more than 400 horsepower.

For some reason (marketing), Toyolex decided to try to give all of it's vehicles the same exclusivity. They stuck f sport badges on everything. Hybrids. CUVs. Hybrids CUVs. Their inclusivity diminished the original meaning of the F brand. Ever notice how many who make the effort to log in here don't know between F and f sport? Even people who have their paycheck signed by Lexus don't know the difference.

I'd never remove an F badge, 'cause I know what it means. And I'll likely never own an f sport.

Personally I think it's stupid. I guess it depends on who you're looking to impress.

Hot chicks won't know the difference and you'll only get bros to know you added unrelated decal. Hot chicks think these are just Lexus 4drs

So if you love broskies chatting you up......I guess that's your thing.

Personally I respect people who debadge cars.

I got IS350 if I have IS-F I would put the 5.0 and V8 on it for sure.
