Not a fan, and not a fan of badging either, but if I want an F-Sport sticking in my car, I would remove the "LEXUS" emblem (Rear)

I like my fenders nice and clean. I may be the only person who's glad he doesn't have a JDM IS, because I don't like the turn signals on the fender.

+1, I think the only place I would think about putting the F-Sport badge is inside my engine bay, but that's just me, hm who knows maybe the 3IS will have an F-Sport version with the badges, but that no one knows

Isn't this the first conversation, in a series of conversations, with the last one being you're now a ricer?

The "F" on the IS-F has nothing to do with "F-Sport".

The only F-Sport badges that I've seen aren't high enough quality to be placed on the car.
