Default Carbon Trunk Emblem?

Looking for this for a '19 GS: https://www.ebay.com/itm/303649140383?

Any clues? Had one for my '15 and loved it, and that listing doesn't exist anymore. Anyone have insight on whether or not one for an IS would work? Thus far can't get a conclusive answer.

@NickMayer you're right, it seems like the carbon fiber inserts for the rear emblem have disappeared. Someone else that has owned both can probably chime in better, but I believe the ES and IS emblems are slightly smaller so those inserts may not fill the entire area nicely (they aren't pricey so might be worth a shot). I would say to possibly buy a 3rd gen carbon fiber insert if you can find them... but my pops has a 2011 3GS and the rear emblem is wider by about half an inch compared to my 2013 4GS (i just measured ~4.25 wide / 3" high on the 4GS; ~4.75 wide /3" high on the 3GS).

This is the only eBay listing I could find but the item is out of stock / seller is away: https://www.ebay.com/itm/13-Lexus-GS...-/252239364033

One other option is to get the 2018+ NX300 or LS500 rear emblem which is blackened around the inner portion of the L. See here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...l#post11080724

Thanks for checking on the sizes, I appreciate that.

I'll ping that seller just in case. Probably going to have stock spoiler removed and get a CF one, so maybe that's the best time to just switch out the entire emblem.
