Cool Grill Badge Help...DONE

Looking for suggestions.

I have the TRD CF grill on my GS. I just bought a trunk badge and want to stick it on the mesh but I am afraid the (mesh) surface will not hold it on. Can anybody offer any suggestions to insure that puppy will stay on??

Thanks-

Doug

Is this trunk badge made of plastic or metal?

Is your mesh plastic or metal?

Default Project Done Finally

I finished the DIY mesh replacement (finer mesh) and reinstalled the grill last night. One of my first DIY projects. I like the way it came out. TRD grill with upgraded mesh and new bumper badge.

I used 3M double sided tape and it works good so far for the past year. I had the trunk "L" on there but I changed it to the TRD one. I live in the northwest and it rains like crazy here, and the TRD emblem is still intact. I figured if someone wants to steal the emblem, dont make it too hard for them. Who knows what other damages they can do if they get frustrated at an emblem not comming off. Even if I do lose my grill emblem, the grill will look fine without it. But to be on the safe side, I made sure I have extra TRD emblems on the side.
