Default Attaching Front Logo in Grill

I just received a front grill Lexus logo that I bought on eBay for my 2002 SC 430, which was de-badged when I bought it. The logo is a one-piece plastic part that seems like it should snap in place....but I can't figure out how to install it. (Which is why I didn't even try to pull the door panels to check the front door speakers a few months ago!) confused:

Can someone tell me how it is done...like at a particular angle, or with a "snap" or something?

Thanks in advance.

Mike

mine screws in . If the badge didn't come with one, make sure you use one long enough that it doesn't back out. Or you can get the screw from Lexus for about $1. Here's the picture:

Is the logo gone or the entire front mount piece that fits inside of the grill insert?

There should be a little square piece of plastic on the grill for it to screw into. It's silver, so people either paint over it, put a piece of black tape over it, or cut it off. If it's the latter, you're out of luck and will have to buy a new (or used) grill.

Gosh, I hadn't thought about the attach point being removed. I hope it hasn't been.

The problem is that I don't see any place where screws would attach to the logo piece. I'm waiting to get a response from the ebay vendor...I'm hoping Monday.

If worse-comes to-worse...it may be a case for Mr. Epoxy!

Thanks for the input...I'll keep you updated.

Default Grill emblem

Stephen way to go. That should get 73446 on his way to getting his emblem back on his grille.
