Yeah, mine doesn't have one and I haven't seen any at my dealerships with them on it. For the 2011, the IS does not have the Lexus badge anymore.


However, there was someone else on this forum from CA who also bought a IS350 F-Sport, but his had Lexus badge on it. He said his dealership put the Lexus badge on it anyways.

I think it looks cleaner without the badges. Some people think it looks cheap or uneven without the Lexus badge.


If my car happened to have the badge on it when I got it, I was just going to leave it. Since my car didn't come with one, it doesn't bother me either.

Major update to my IS...


I finally got around to buying H&R Sport Springs. I just couldn't stand the wheel gap especially at the front of the car. After they arrived, I couldn't wait to get them installed!! A family friend of mine and his cousin got them put on today and it looks so much better! 


I plan to get the F-Sport Exhaust next when Lexus does its F-Sport sale. That's the last major thing I have planned. Not sure if I want to do the ground effects rear lip or any lighting changes but we'll see.


Would it be a good idea to get an alignment or camber adjustment to avoid too much tire wear?


More pictures to come when I get time to clean them up or when I can take pictures in better weather.

I searched around for a ground effects rear bumper lip and finally ended up buying one.


My installer guy put it on with the 3M method plus some screws in hard-to-see places. I was thinking about the cut and drill method though if this does not work out. 


I like the clean hint of aggressiveness it adds. Too bad the F-Sport package does not just come with a full body kit!


I took a few photos with my cellular phone. I would've wiped down the car and used my digital camera but it started raining when I stopped to take the pictures! I'll take some better pictures in the future. Hopefully I'll have the F-Sport exhaust and other things too.
