Default Stock is300 3 bar grill and altezza emblem

I have a 3 bar stock is300 grill and (Santa) bought me a altezza emblem and wanted to know if it would be a easy fit.

do u mean u got the altezza 3bar grille then u have the trunk emblem? or do u have the lexus grille and ur tryin to make it an altezza grille?
if its the 1st choice then the 3bar will fit fine theres 3 bolts on the top of the grille pop 2 off the corners and unscrew the bolt in the middle by the hood latch and take it off. the trunk emblem, they say to get dental floss and that would help pry the emblem off without scratching ur paint then goo be gone to clean up the resedue. hope this helps u.

ok so u have the original 3 bar grille for the lexus is300. with the "L" in the middle? im lost on what ur trying to do. the 3 bar altezza grille has a small icon in the middle of the grille and naw i dont think that would fit in the stock lexus grille, since the 3 bar altezza grille has the cut out jus for that lil emblem. do u have that lil emblem or do u have the Altezza in red for the mesh grille? for the mesh grille yes that could work may look a lil ugly but could work if done nicely i guess. how come u didnt ask santa jus for the 3 bar altezza grille and made that work instead? i think $250 to $300 is a good estimate for the altezza grille jus go get that instead of trying to invent ur own grille. good luck and if u have pics put them up maybe im jus not understanding ur question correctly

You will have to break the tabs off the emblem.

Drill 2 holes into what ever is left of the tabs and lip tie it to your grill.

I had to the do the same thing when I went to put my L Emblem on my Altezza Silver 3 bar grill.
