Default Which Emblem has the Holes behind it?

I sincerely apologize if this is a re-post but I did use the search area and found a couple of threads however, it did not have the answer I was looking for. I also searched the FAQ thread but found nothing either.

My quick question is, which emblem has the hole/holes behind it? Is it the "Lexus" emblem on the lower left, the "IS250/IS350" on the lower right or the Lexus "L" logo on the top center?

Thanks for any help.

Really? I was hoping for a clean look on the back but not if I have to get it filled and painted. Thanks for the quick reply.

Yeah i was just goign to leave the "L" for the front and rear so you still know it's a Lexus. I just wanted to take the "Lexus" and IS250/IS350" logo out so it looks smoother.

Sure, in fact there is a current body IS300. I cant remember what country has it, but there are pics of it on CL. If you can get a hold of one of those CL members then maybe you can get one of them to buy you the emblem so that it would fit perfectly. Though I dont know why one might want to...

There are a total of 6 holes on the trunk lid: 2 on the "Lexus" wordpiece, 2 on the Circle-L logo, and one each on the "S" and "0" in "IS 350". Below is a picture of the back side of the my stock emblems.

^^^ Thanks for the detailed pic. Is that yours? Did you replace your emblem with another or just filled the holes?

That makes no sense to take off the emblems or to rebrand it to a 300? Am I missing something here?
