Default Help me decide on a grill ..(updated pics)

I currently have the 2000 platinum edition stock grill which is black w/ black chrome Lexus emblem.

Should i change into a chrome grill (stock OEM) or not? And can 01+ grills fit 98-00? I cant tell the difference.

Lastly, when i bought my car the previous owner took off the Lexus emblem on the engine cover. I tried looking for one everywhere and still cant find one? Any ideas? Thanks

Question

Does the emblem from the 98-2000 GS's fit the 01+ grill or is the emblem slightly larger on the 01+ grills?
