I may now put an M3 badge on my 328 - think anyone will notice before a true M3 pulls up alongside?

F badge on a 2nd gen GS lol.

Has IS-F Wheels, Brembo's, IS-F seats inside, and makes over 2x the power of a IS-F. Valid to have the F badges?

You get a pass from me
If Lexus doesn't come up with a true GS F in the near future, I'm buying a fully loaded FSport and shipping it to you for the conversion smh

LOL come on guys its not that bad. It looks good IMO whether its just the "F" or "F Sport" its still Lexus' performance line so I don't see a big deal even though I personally wouldn't have done it just bc I'm not too big on emblems. I shaved my trunk. But anyways its not like he went and did something like this

Also think the car would look better debadged. Plan on taking mine off as with just the badging on the right the look is unbalanced.

It looks pretty good. However, I don't like the idea of adding badges that don't belong/didn't already come with the car.

A post I saw on another forum sums it up nicely imo:
The only people who know the significance of the F badge are people who know it's a fake. Those who don't know it's a fake won't be impressed by the badge because they don't even know what it signifies. (slightly paraphrased)

At the end of the day, it's your car though, so as long as you like it, my 2c shouldn't matter

The badge doesn't look bad, but it is false.
Oh please, take a look at his location and you will realise that he has the real deal Integra! As a matter of fact, Acura'a are renamed Honda's in your country only.

In our country we get them straight from Japan as Honda. And his particular car in his signature is a pure race Honda Integra from Japan ( RHD ).

Get out of your bubble, the world is bigger than your borders buddy!!!!

I much prefer the free form 'F' badge to the look of the rigid rectangular 'F sport'
