Custom Emblem for IS-F Grille on IS250
5 months ago I posted a thread with pics of my DIY IS-F grille for my IS250. The thread can be found here
Back then I had to buy an IS-F emblem for the grille because the standard stock emblem was too small compared to the IS-F emblem which was wider.
5 months later, I managed to grab a bargain for a hybrid style emblem from a gs450h. After buying it, I faced the issue of it being smaller than the IS-F emblem. So after some consideration, I decided that I had the following 3 options.
(Option 1)
Install it anyway and let it look like this (but cover the holes ofcourse):
(Option 2)
Cut out the L from the IS-F emblem so that i'm left with a oval shape. Then stick the new emblem on top to give the emblem a chrome style border. Like this:
(Option 3)
Go with option 3 but paint the border black instead of keeping it chrome and apply flexible plastic filler to give it a smooth transition.
I decided to go with option 3 and have now completed the project.
Below are some photos of the emblem DIY and also photos of the completed and installed photos of the grille.

Thanks for the comments everyone.
I'm currently looking into the possibility of creating a mold of this grille so that I can re-produce it more easily and cheaply.
