Default “F” badge for rear to replace the “L” for is350 anyone seen these before???

Looking to find a F emblem for the rear of my car instead of the L. Does anyone know where to get one if it’s even a thing?

Never seen any "F" badge or emblem for the rear. There is this one for the front: https://www.rr-racing.com/RR-Racing-...isxfbdg001.htm

You might need to go the custom route (e.g. https://x-lume.com/products/chargerfam)

I've never seen an IS350 have that on the street and its really not an F car as it doesn't have the V8. Its the same thing as someone adding M badge only on their BMW 330. Just something to consider...

Thanks for the heads up. I was considering it because it is an F sport.

Just be aware the F owners don't consider the F Sport worthy of the F badge

Best thing to do is just debadge especially if it’s Fsport model.

There are more M and Amg trim models now than standard ones. Most of the public has no clue what the real M, AMG, F cars are. Bad marketing - quick buck but in long run those brands have been totally diluted and can no longer ask for same premium.
