Default F-Sport Fender Badge Location

Does anyone know the exact location of this badge from the factory on 2011 cars?

http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2006/2390.html

Like 4" out from door and 8" down from hood...

Thanks.

Are those replacement badges? Is your car an F sport?

I'm HOPING it's his car, geeze! But if you really need an explanation, I like F sport editions and wished they were around when I was purchasing. I was just wondering how it came off already (if it IS an F sport) - If they were stuck on or popped in.

So now...what's the point of YOUR inquiry??

Is YOUR IS an F sport? Perhaps you can reply to my wondering.

My car is NOT an f-sport but I have probably more f-sport parts than come with the current f-sport package. I have the suspension, rear sway, intake, spoiler, gfx, (joe-z exhaust, better than f-sport), shift ****, floor mats, and getting the f-sport wheels after winter ends.

I am not sure if I am or am not, I just wanted an idea. I generally am a debadge kind of guy but I liked the look of the emblem. My wife has a thundercloud RX330 silver, and thought the silver f-sport badges would match with my silver is350.

I am NOT trying to rice it up, promise!

geez did some of us wake up on the wrong side of bed this morning? lol

OP, if you don't have a hole on your fender (if your original badge fell off) I'm sure no one could tell if you stuck it on there as long as it's even and remotely close.

I think the best option is going to the dealer and look for an F Sport edition on and measure it.
If not possible ask someone in here with a F Sport edition to help you out mith the location.
Dont worry about the inquiry of members not used to help fellow club members.

Hehe!! You sound like me, F sportin' that thing! The sucky part is, we had to pay AFTER the fact for all those goodies! So I'm guessing they stick on?

Hmm....That would be a nice inexpensive mod. And it looks pretty dang good, too. Micaiah could be your car's darker twin. Oooo temptation.

Sorry for the small pic.

I did a quick measure:

(measuring from the edge of the badge)

black line: approx 2"

red line: approx 3.25"

Doug do they have adhesive on the back or a rivet thingy? Because if I do this I'm not about to poke a hole in my car or cut the thingy off the back of the emblem.

I didn't pick them up from the dealer yet. I will get them this Friday. My car was rear ended (not terrible) but the body guy is going to put on my GFX for basically free so I was going to have him just put those emblems on if I liked them, just need to give him the location.

I will report back with pictures of them uninstalled and installed if I do it.
