I like it Joe! See, I'm torn... Part of me likes the clean look of no badge, part of me likes the sporty esthetics it gives... especially on the bottom right of the grille... I'm on the exact same page as you.

And anyone saying Lexus isn't TRD is out of their mind... I feel a TRD emblem is fully "justified" on a Lexus, I'm just torn on the esthetics part of it.

I also must say the pictures don't do it justice. It looks a lot better in person. Anyway, chime in w/ more input please.

If you're going to keep it on, where you have it on now from the pictures looks like a pretty good location. Replacing either "Lexus" or "IS350" emblem on the trunk with the TRD emblem would also be an option.

I think it looks fine! and i'm not one to put extra emblems on a car. I think it's clean when any turbo car just has the Porsche turbo emblem. I'm still actually debating whether to put my F-Sport emblem on, it doesnt look good on MRM.

i would keep it off, much cleaner look. I'm not big on added emblems, so that's just my opinon.

Heck, you could call the entire car TRD... no need to be over analytical bud.
that is not right man, i dont agree. i agree you can call them glorified trd parts, but in real life they are f-sports not trd. you can call the ISX50 a glorified toyota but you would never put toyota badge on them.

My vote would be in the rear trunk area. Replacing a badge or adding it above IS350 or Lexus. I've seen the f-sport badge done that way and I think it matches well.

Didn't Toyota Altezza's have Toyota Emblems on the back?

EDIT: Hmm they actually didn't, weird.

Just step the game up alittle and pick up a Carson Mesh grill without the emblem. Place the TRD emblem on the same lower right corner. Now that would be HOT!
