Default Missing a "Lexus"
I have noticed on other ISs that there are 3 badges on the rear. A "Lexus", a Lexus logo and the ISxxx. I don't have the "Lexus" ?!?!?! I thought maybe it was a "C" thing, but I saw one the other day and it had all 3. Is the lack of the "Lexus" an F-sport thing or was my robot just out of badges when my car came down the line?

If you bought the car used, my guess is that someone removed it. I am not aware that the F-Sport had less badges. I thought they had more

The newer models do not have the "Lexus" emblem in the back.
Just the L emblem and ISX50

Hm, your description is pretty vague, but I think I know which one you are talking about. You should have the Lexus logo right above the License Plate, ISX50 on the Right Bottom portion and the trunk, and then Lexus on the Left Bottom portion of the trunk which would be the one in question correct? If your car is preowned then it is possible the previous owner removed. If you bought your car brand new it is possible that somebody jacked your ******. F Sports typically have an "F Sport" badge somewhere on the body.

^^This... If you had it and was removed you'll see two holes in there. I think you have a newer model that never had one.

The 11 and up lose the "LEXUS" emblem in the back left of the trunk. I've always noticed that my 07 has it and new models don't.

I dont think the '13 ISX50s have the "Lexus" badge. On the cars that do, when you remove the "Lexus" badge there are two tiny holes.

I have the LEXUS badge on my 2012 F-sport. Is it a US thing?

Strange....I bought it brand new right off the showroom floor. No holes.

I have 2 F-Sport badges on my front fenders. None on the rear.
