The only thing different about the celsior grille and the LS400 grille is the "T" or "L" badge.
Just buy a new badge and stick it in as it held in with a screw.

the part behind the "L" and the "T" is moulded to be the same shape as the L or T. so to properly do that i'd have to cut it out and plastic weld it in. unless i'm mistaken.

the oval shape is the same, but the black part behind the badge follows the shape of the T or the L. or at least i'm pretty sure mine does...

no, it doesnt, the whole badge is an ~one inch deep piece of plastic that sits into a recessed opening in the grill, and can be interchanged for the toyota T.

i know, i have like 3-4 different badges for my 2LS

Idk how your are all but i have mine 90 grill right here and if i look at it from the back it still resemble the L. I understand what the OP is trying to say as he wants to have the lexus grill because if you were to unscrew the L on my grill....you can still see the shape L. Im not trying to say your wrong but i think there are two different types out there. Pretty interesting though.

hmm, i know lexus changed the design in 93, so it's possible that 90-92 cars are as you described
