If your going for the sporty esthetics it gives... just leave it on. I don't get any love on this forum for my car but I get so many comments and heads turn in the real world I'll take your word for it that it looks better in person than pictures.

Just because F-Sport is a division of TRD USA doesn't mean they are "TRD parts." As has been mentioned already, if you subscribe to that logic then there is no difference between the Lexus line and the Toyota line. But hey, if you like it then put it wherever you like it best!

Well the IS line was born from the Toyota Altezza...

I did put that lovely TRD badge on my IS-F for "Toyotafest 2009"..

Which actually came from my TRD grill for my old IS300..


YES MORE POWER TO ME..!!!

Actually, it wasn't. It's an entirely new car with absolutely no components carried over from the previous car, which was a rebadged Altezza. And no offense, but that badge makes even less sense on your car...

I don't mind it down there in the front. I wouldn't put it in the rear though.

Hence why I said IS Line was born from the Toyota Altezza (1999)..
to a 2001 Lexus IS300

None taken bro.. The badge was put on in support of "Toyotafest 2009"

And your right, just about every Lexus from 2006 on, is now from the ground up a Lexus.. Not a rebadge Toyota..
with the exception of the last year model 2009 SC430..
