Default Missing steering wheel F sport badge

As the title says, my '13 GS is missing the F sport badge from the steering wheel, any idea where I can find a replacement one? Dealer says that the only way to get a replacement is to buy the whole damn wheel.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Called another dealer and got the same answer, this guy actually checked with lexus before telling me that the only way to get a replacement badge is to get a new wheel, FML.

This is what it looks like, you can see that the badge is not just glued on there, its held down by two plastic tabs.

Wow. That is absurd. Curious though, how much are they quoting for a new steering wheel?

That looks like a proper stitch job, I doubt that it was $20.

I lucked out and found a used steering wheel cheap on ebay yesterday, otherwise I was going to have the emblem CNCed through a local machine shop.
