Default Rear Emblem Delete

Hello club lexus members. I'm fairly new to this club and I had just bought my 2014 Lexus IS250 a few months back.
Just wondering if anyone has ever tried to delete their Rear Lexus emblem to be completely flushed and empty. I've seen this done to other cars like the infinity g35 but i was trying to see if anyone has ever tried it or if anyone has picture of it. Right off the bat I know once you take out the emblem there will be an indent for the emblem and two holes, which I think you can customize an empty plate to make it flush. any thoughts?

Sorry I’m not a fan of debadging, especially when the name of the other car is misspelled.

i don't think they have the two holes on the 3is. Lookup the black pearl emblem installs for our car. after debadging you'd wind up with the little indent where the badge sits. I'd recommend going to a body shop and have them do it, fill and blend in that little section then paint match it.

Gotta love the stick-on "mail box letters" spelling out T U R B O...on an '80's Escort with mock F1 wheels.
