From the outside, the only giveaway I know is the front brake size. The 350 has noticeably larger brakes.

Oh and to remove the emblems you just need a string/floss and slide it between the car and badges and it'll come off. They are only held on with tape. Then use goo-gone to get rid of the stickiness.

Why would you want people to think you have something that you dont? Like Bimmer guys that put an "M" badge on a non M car. Be happy with what you have.

I thought the 350 had "18 rims as opposed to the 250's "17

Not sure about non fsports, but the fsport 250s come with 18s.

I removed my AWD 350 because i dont care if other people know what I've got because I know. Whether you remove 250 or not you'll still know it's not a 350 lol

Talking
Anyone ever replaced a RCF, ISF or IS350 badge with IS250 badge just for giggles and win races from the untrained eye?
