Default Opinion needed, FSport decal...

Picked this up on ebay, pretty cheap, but it was small enough that i liked it. Put it next to the IS350 emblem, thought it looked decent, looking for opinions. Considering the car actually is an FSport edition, i thought it was fitting...

I have the same one. They are decent for the price, but I may switch out for these as these are more of an emblem vs. a decal:

Since you have the new F-Sport, why not just add the same ones as the fenders?:

I'm not feeling it. Why would you want to hide that beautiful blue color?

Isn't the F-Sport badging already on each of your front fenders? It's a bit overkill for me and it actually looks like a sticker...

Exactly what I thought. I agree it doesn't look bad, but I wouldn't do it. I think you should either stick with the badges you get from the factory or debadge it entirely. I also think that the kind of people who'd see and appreciate it for being an F-sport wouldn't need to see that badge to recognize it anyway..

i think it looks ok. it would look better if it was the same size as the letters, but overall

Looks okay, but I'd rather have the same emblem as the fender or not at all.

You don't need an fsport badge if you have ultrasonic blue.
