I think youre missing the point... Your emblem change is simply seen as poor taste due to it being a AutoZone clearance item, it has horns, and looks like a very cheaply made piece of "chrome plated" palstic. Many people do cheap mods that are done tastefully and fit the car (Plasti-dip emblems, vinyl parts, etc), but this one rubs most people here wrong. We dont think we're ballers, we know we drive the second cheapest Lexus model out there, just above a CT. Acting like everyone should like your horned emblem is where you may have gone astray in your logic of the CL world.

Basically what they said, and it seems like you're looking to get flamed. Personally I'm not a fan of changing or even removing emblems, although I do like the plasti-dip ones. As stated below only way it looks clean is if you've got an is300

What in the world are you talking about? Nobody here is saying that they are better than anyone else. Yes everyone has their own opinions and to each there own.
Now when you post pictures of your car, you need to realise that not everyone is going to like your taste in mods. Nobody here is trashing your car or anything like that. Were simply giving you our opinions because you put yourself out there in the first place.

it because it is a Toyota logo on a Lexus.

Like someone said earlier, the IS300 was badged as a Toyota in Japan. Skylines are badges as Nissans in Japan. And I believe some Acuras were originally badged as Hondas in Japan. Plus you put a Toyota logo with horns, so thats another reason why others dont like it

It's not the physical attributes of the part itself, but more of the image or the perceived image that it puts out is not consistent with the tastes of a lot of the owners on this forum. Parts that you could potentially get at Autozone/Canadian Tire aren't really the thing for a lot of us on here (not saying that's where you got it, just a point based on the previous note about fake chrome).
Don't take it personally or anything. The people on the forum typically want to help you out at the core of it, not flame you to make you feel bad about yourself of your car. No one is trying to call you cheap or anything. You could have had that emblem custom CNC'd and plated with .999 silver which was mined by Sebastian Pinera himself in Pascua Lama, Chile and polished with a cloth made of silk woven in space by the original Prada Brothers. The IS is a Toyota, not a spaceship. No one on here thinks otherwise.
If you like it and think its great, don't let the haters bring you down. I've been flamed on here too over getting replica wheels (which I have since sold). It is just an internet forum at the end of the day.
/thread pls

The 2IS was not badged as a Toyota in Japan so there is no reason to rebadge it.

Point being, you need to be able to take negative comments about your mods. Were not trash talking anyone, nor are we putting down Toyotas because we all drive Toyotas! You said your not new to forums, so you shouldnt be getting "mad" at all of our comments.
If you like it thats fine, thats what matters. But dont get mad when you put yourself out there and ask us for our opinions
