Default Dumb question but...

As I was plasti dipping my emblems, I noticed that I did not have a Lexus logo on the left rear of the trunk. Not that I care, and I actually prefer that it's not there but I am curious as to how and why its missing. Car was purchased new and there are no signs of theft.

I believe, and I know I will get corrected if im wrong, the 2011 models and up dont have a "Lexus" emblem on the lower left corner of the trunk lid. I have a 2012 and I know mine didnt come with it and theres a 2013 sitting at the dealer that doenst have one either. So your good to go, no worries unless you want to add one...?

The newer models does not have the lexus logo on the lower left of the trunk. Im not exactly sure what year, but my buddy with a 2011 does not have it on his car.

It was a cost-cutting move. Some say it's redundant given the Lexus logo in the top center. I personally like it there.

There's NO WAY in HELL THAT was a cost cutting move. It's just cooler without it.

I wish mine didn't have it. Ours have holes under it for alignment so it's a bit of work to have a bodyshop fill them.
