Default Should I install the F-Sport badge on my car?

I just purchased a few F-Sport parts and was wondering if you guys think it would look ok to install the F-Sport badge on the car? Should I just put it below or above the IS250 symbol or just remove the IS250 symbol itself and replace it with the F-Sport badge? I am just really not sure what to do here I dont want this to look cheap or look bad so it effects my resale value of my car.

Thanks,
Ryan

I wouldn't put the IS-F badge on it just because it might lead dumb people thinking they just smoke an IS-F just because they saw the IS-F badge.
Plus i think that would look kind of tacky =/

^ He's talking about F-Sport, not IS-F.

It's a personal thing.

Personally, I hate all the extra badging.

I mean, do you really need to tell everyone else what you've got?

Good point just wasnt sure plus thought it might help sell the car when im dumb with it. I could sell it to some kid for his first car and tell how special the F-Sport edition is lol.

I agree with Lexus@17. I think the F badge belongs on the IS-F only. I wouldn't put it on a 250 or 350.

Ok thanks. Hmmm I am still really up in the air anyone seen any pics of this yet on a car? That would really help me especially a side by side comparison before and after?

Thanks,
Ryan

Put it on the license plate frame just like what I did. I was going to place it below or above IS350 badge but it's a cheap plastic badge. Doesn't deserve a nice spot.

I would not put another badge on the car.... it detracts from the car IMO... but it's your car bro, do whatever makes you feel good.

Sorry about that rscott22. I didn't realize that there was a different f-sport badge. It looks pretty cool on benzo555's 350.
