Default Hybrid Badge?

Hey guys!

I was just wondering why the RX450h doesn't have a hybrid badge on it? I know the h is supposed to be hybrid but you know, just wondering.

I assume you mean that there is no hybrid badge on the back? That's been the manner with all Lexus hybrids--they have the blue Lexus logos on front and back, and hybrid badging on the side door sills. Some dealerships here in SoCal add a hybrid badge below the RX 450h nameplate...Lexus also has sold hybrid rear window decals.

You can purchase a hybrid badge on ebay, recommmend you place it under the RX 450h badge. Good Luck !

Here's the window decal. encore888 covered all the hybrid badging. Were you expecting something different?

Interesting,
I'm actually de-badging the car at the dealer prior to picking it up tomorrow.

Sure thing,

I just feel it is a cleaner look and no need to advertise what I drive.
Did it with my Cayenne Turbo S, my BMW 3 series and now with the wife's Lexus.

The word "Lexus", the numbering/lettering "RX 450h" and only leaving the large blue-hued "L" emblem.
