Default Cracked front grille and emblem..

This morning I found that my front grille and lexus emblem was cracked.. I must have hit a rock or looks like someone kicked it. Anyways, I got the price quote for the front grille from the dealer and was told that the emblem is not included. Emblem is cracked from top to bottom. I want to replace the emblem only if possible. Is it possible for me to just replace the front Lexus emblem without changing the front grille??

Do I just pull off the old one and snap in the new one? Is replacing front radiator emblem difficult to do?

Thanks Caifan for your help. Are the emblems on the rear same as the ones on the front grille? On the front, there is black plastic part within the circle around the L

Assuming you don't have the radar cruise control, the emblem on the grill is glued on. There are two pins sticking out the back of the emblem (that fit into holes in the grill) that align it properly. When the replacement emblem comes, it will be very obvious what you need to do to install it.

I'm assuming the only thing that is damaged is the silver part. If the black plastic part behind the silver is damaged, that is part of the grill, not the emblem.
