Default What the "F" badge??!!

Wassup guys,

So I was driving to work on the 101S in LA today and spotted a white lexus is250 with the WORST looking badge mixup/mess ever!!
This guy was rolling like he is sooo hard.
He had the F badge on both side fenders and on the back side
this idiot put "isF0" wow. I don't know if he forgot to take of the 0 or if he thinks that an isF0 is badass. And this guy didn't have anything on his car, stock is250 rims, lip, no HID. It was truly dumbfounding.
I don't hate, I'm proud of what I drive, there are those lucky few that have the good fortune to be driving around a REAL isF. But I don't know, something about that car kinda pissed me off and made me laugh!
Tell me what you guys think of this "brand newe lexus isF0" haha wow!

That just sucks. I saw a guy do the same but with a 3-series, slapped an M3 badge (or imitation) on it.

I'm glad there's no IS-F in Dubai, so I won't be seeing F badges.

I saw a couple of IS350 though, while they're not.

I would have liked to see this ISFO!

But I know what you're talking about. I spotted an IS with "F" badges on the front L/R renders as well as the trunk a couple of wks ago on the road. He was very proud of his ride as well. It's just similar to seeing an "M3" on a regular 3 series or "M5" on a 5 series.

Remember what they say, imitation is the greatest form of flattery...

He basically ruins the image of an IS. People sometimes mod the dumbest things (maybe to attract attention)? For sure, he won't be smiling when a real ISF rolls next to him

A real "F"-er, I guess (speaking of the badges).

That might be just as bad as the Camaro I saw with Cobra badges.

the 250 with the GTR badge is probably as bad as it gets. before i had a car or a cell phone for that matter, there was this kid at my hs, and he put an ///M badge on his '00 mercury cougar. i saw it one time in the lot, and asked him what the "M" was for. he said that it was a special make for his cougar, calling it the 'cougar M'.


Quick Reply: What the "F" badge??!!
