They're on the ESes in ROW. Asia, middle east, UK etc. I've thought about it last year. is it just a standard USA part #? i've seen them on ebay but didn't want it to not fit right, look weird.
I debadged the "ES300h" so if i do this lexus badge, it'll just be one badge. plus i'd need to position it just perfectly so ideally you'd want a stencil from Lexus. or you can just eyeball it which i'm sure this poster did

Part number is 75447-33170 and it is called PLATE, LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT DOOR NAME, NO. 1. It is from last gen ES but the font and size matches perfectly.

Thanks for the info. Double-stick tape (as I'd expect) or drilling of holes?
It comes with the tape on it so you just remove the plastic thingy and attach it to the car. No hole drilling needed! Its a PITA to align and get it perfect with the other badge as far as height and distance from the side though! I thought I did my best but there's a little misalignment
I added the F Sport badge that was removed in 2022. I guess they saved $.05 on each F Sport produced by removing the badge..lol
Not sure about the F-sport badge on the tailgate. E.g. GS F Sport just have a understated "F" logo on the fender. That's it. Its only with this generation ES that F-Sport labels goes flying randomly all over the place.
Added Lexus badge to the trunk door similar to European models. Looks more symmetrical now!
Yes I have always wondered why the US models don't have the LEXUS badge at the rear. All ours do for as long as Lexus was sold in our region (Australia and New Zealand) and also domestically in Japan.
As for what I did today (or the other day) I lubed up the trunk hinge hardware. they're starting to creak like a haunted house like my first 2021 ES did. I guess the lube they use at manufacturing lasts about 6-8 months then haunted house time.

Where the two rods cross in the middle, or on the sides as well? And, what's the most appropriate grease?
as for the trunk rods, everywhere. all rub/contact points of all the hinges/pivot/metal hardware. i just use spray lithium grease. no odor (at least in the amounts i used it in). i'm not sure if it's "correct" but it seems to work. probably a better grease would be the thicker stuff that's brown/gold in color. like the factory uses, just more of it. i have axle grease but it smells bad.
