Emblem placement - help

My slobalt has been in the shop for about a week getting a new fascia put on and I am eagerly awaiting its return. So I would like to ask for your help in deciding where to slap my SS emblem. I would like to put this:



somewhere on this:



Sorry for the bad angle, but try to imagine the mesh that will replace the stock grille. As there will be no bar and only the mesh, I doubt sticky tape would work. Anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone else tried something similar? Thanks for the help!

We'll need a better pic of the front if that's where you wanna put it.

What bumper is that?

Problem is I won't have that stock bar that runs through the grille to mount it on (the one with the screw holes). I'm just going to use the mesh that came with the kit. A better pic of the gaping hole where the mesh will go is shown below. It is the Versus bumper I think.



Here is what the final product will look like, but it will be mesh up top, it won't look like they have it shown here, plus it will be in red.



Thanks for the help guys!

Ahh... I see.
Do you absolutely want it on the front of the car?
What looks good too is replacing the small ones on the doors with the larger ones.

How deep is the emblem? You could potentially drill small holes in it, and put like screws or something into the wholes on the emblem, and attach it through the mesh with like a custom mounting bracket of sorts.

Kinda hard to explain, but basically picture two pins coming out of the back of the emblem, stick those pins through the mesh grill, then have a mounting plate of sorts on the back of the mesh which holds the emblem to the grill.

I understand. We've seen these kinds of things done before, haven't we? So it shouldn't come out too bad. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the help!

You could do what he said, or epoxy the emblem to the mesh, might look cool.

I'd try to tape it on first though to make sure you like the way it looks there.

Is there any way to put the crossbar back in, like the one with the white bumper?
