C-Mod Carbon Fiber Grill Surround
Does anyone have this grill, if so... Are you able to use the stock mesh grille to work with it or How can I attach the "L" Emblem/Logo on to the mesh part of the C-Mod Grill?

I had one and to answer your questions.
The carbon fiber surround does not have the tabs to fit the stock mesh center. You could possibly glue it? That is how the c-mod wire mesh is attached.
You would have to glue the emblem directly over the c-mod wire mesh.
Also, fitment was almost perfect. The only issue was the top center mounting tab did not line up.

I think the painted OEM looks better then the C-Mod. And if you are going to wrap it buy some 3M wrap off of the big auction site for $15. You will have enough to make numerous attempts! With a heat gun, some patients and some beer you can do it and save some cash for gas.

The C mod grille is going to need to have about 10 holes drilled in it for the "T" clips to fit the rubber weather striping as well as the frame holes. The C mod does not fit perfectly on the bottom and looks weird as there is a gap.
...I did not want to mess with this, or remove the stripping altogether.
It seemed painful to try and align the holes properly. The OE gives me perfect fitment, pre-drilled holes and looks better than the C Mod.
I feel I have wasted my money on this, and purchased the most expensive black wire mesh available
Logo - created a backing plate with threaded bolts....enables wing nut attachments and to move the logo around or remove it as desired.

I have a C-mod grill and digger has it right. Mine fits good at the bottom but I did have to make all the holes for the weather strip.
I had my stock surround painted matte black and I will be swapping back to it with the wire mesh one of these days.
I guess I'll have a very expensive piece of wire mesh at that point as well.
