its not ok to put an IS-F badge on ur is350/250 but u can put an F-sport badge since they make parts for the is350

Unless you actually have F-sport parts installed on your 350, you'd be just as much of a poser.

Lexus is a more advance brand then Toyota!

In fact I was thinking the same thing when I saw the TRD badge in the shop, I was thinking to get it but then I think an IS is a Lexus, TRD is Toyota... would that be kind of downgraded...

So what say you?

I can see putting on a TRD on a Toyota and even a Lexus, but changing the badges to make a 250 a 350 or an IS-F is ridiculous. Be proud of what you have and quit trying to make it something it's not.

I agree with that, but I haven't seen anyone talking about doing this yet. If they did, I would have to call it rice.

Back to the original topic... I like the look of the TRD emblem in there, but probably would have to take it off if it were me. It doesn't look authentic, and it is pretty much rice considering that you don't have any TRD parts on your car. Wait to get some F-Sport parts and then throw that emblem in its place.

Alright...I understand now. The F-Sport badge would be acceptable b/c of the Lexus line for the IS-F...TRD is definitely Toyota and shouldn't really go on a 2nd gen lexus. I've seen idiots trying to make base mustangs into cobras and saleens and it's really stupid looking. Us Lexus drivers certainly don't fit into that catagory
