Lol, I took mine of Audi A5 Sline and people assume I have S5 or RS5 that's not why I removed them, but it's kinda funny that even car enthusiasts can't see or don't know the differences

Yea I might debadge an F (at least the rear) to troll or a GS200t to make it more "upscale". But can appreciate a clean rear.

You see it a lot with BMW 320s. They have the cheaper taillights but will be debadged. Or maybe a lot of 328s come with incandescent lights. I'm not sure.

I am the same way typically as I like my cars badged, however, I am biased as I love that my GS F is de-badged leaving just the large square F. No one knows what a GSF is a majority of the time, but to those who know what the car is get really excited... makes for the ultimate geriatric sleeper. Also looks very clean on the F cars since the F badge is a lot larger than the letters, unlike the F-Sport badge which is the same height as the letters

I agree with Nunz,

On cars with a name like 'corolla' i will keep the badges, but most anything with letters/numbers i think it looks better without it. I removed all the badges from my GS except the hybrid badge.

Like others, all on or all off (except the Lexus logo)

I'm personally done with my days of de-badging -- when I see one nowadays, I just think the car's been in an accident/repainted or that it's a lower-end model trying to look like a higher-end model. Unpopular opinion, one which even I sort of wish I didn't have.

From your suggestions, I would do "all off" but personally I would remove only the 'FSport' and ''AWD' badges and keep 'GS 350'.

My E92, or 2008 328i Coupe was a sleeper. Had 18' rims, non turbo engine, sport suspension but back then it was not part of an appearance package. No black lines, just bigger bit upscale wheel, staggered, 6spd manual, sport seats and steering wheel. very chill.
But those in the know can see it did not have dual exhaust and thus to rebadge would have been a badge to pretend to be a 335i would be a badge of shame.
That car's driving dynamic was excellent. Wondful inline smooth power, low to ground height, and three pedal goodness.

Debadging is a personal thing. Given that there was no engine difference in the model the GS won't be posing as anything more.
Because its strong resemblance to the ES rear end (Previous gen) I'd leave the badges.
Its a GS, be proud!!!!!! This is not no front wheel drive stretched Camry!!!
