Any more DIY out there? I read the one in the lexus forums and it's good but I want to do enough research before i try it myself!

if you remove the trunk lining (will be required if you want to do the trunk trim) you will see the 3 pins that hold the rear star in place. I used the back of a hammer to push them out from the inside. I ended up painting mine gloss black.

I think i will go your route on removing the emblem too. I think you're saying I can push it out from the inside right?
This will be my project for tomorrow

for the trunk trim there are 2 hex screws you can see from the bottom and 2 more on the inside right next to the handle handle. You have to remove the trunk liner to access those ones. Once you have the liner out you'll see the 3 pins on the back side of the emblem.
be careful with the trunk trim it's easy to scratch the paint with it on the way out.
