Default Lexus badge fit Celsior Grill?

As the title implies, I have a Celsior with the Toyota badge on the front and L on the rear. Do you guys know if the Lexus badge actually fits int place of the Toyota on the front?

I think the Toyota emblem is molded into the grille, it might be easier just to find a Toyota badge for the rear if you want them to match, or just find a grille with the Lexus emblem already on it.

creilly is correct. The grille insert that is attached to the chrome frame is molded with either a Toyota emblem or a Lexus emblem to seat the badge properly and to give it a continuous appearance.

A Lexus badge will not fit on a Celsior grille and vice versa. In my opinion, just keep the badges that you have on the car, despite the mismatch. Toyota and Lexus are the same anyway, and it would make for an interesting story to guests who are unaware that Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota. Badge removal and replacement on the trunk is tedious, too; the holes won't line up for the Toyota badge.

Hi. I've tried it. It doesn't fit. Lexus logo is a bit smaller.
