I just installed a mesh grille on my car. I want to put the infiniti symbol on and was wondering if anyone has any experience putting one on a mesh or billet grille. I doubt double-sided tape will do the trick. This isn't my car but looks like this.

Sorry for the link. I inserted the pic but it was too big.

Oh yeah, where can I get an extra emblem?

 

I've been interested in an aftermarket grill for some time...Where'd you get it? How much was it? Any other pics from different angles?

Thanks!

The grille looks better in person

 

Thanks! I take it you're pretty happy with it? Do the cable ties hold it fairly securely? Can you see the cable ties after the install?

Taking a look at the install instructions, it looks pretty cool. The powder coated black is definitely the way to go no matter what color car you have.

I noticed that the grill is very similar to the "rain gutter protectant" mesh I found at Home Depot. The only difference is that this mesh looks flat vs. the slight curve the HD mesh had. I think the HD mesh was something like $5-10. Oh one other difference is getting the rubber trim surround, but I assume that would be easy to locate.

I used the HD mesh to create a very similar grill on my 97 Prelude SH a few years ago. It took some time to cut the metal using tin snips....but I assume a dremel (or some other type of rotary cutter) would work much faster now.

Maybe I'll give it a shot...just locating a flat mesh piece would be ideal. Spray painting the mesh should be easy. If I do, I'll do a DIY.

 

OH...forgot to answer your original question...trying to locate an Infiniti symbol. Besides the dealer, I assume you could keep looing on ebay. Otherwise, you can try to get one from a wrecking yard.

This site doesn't seem to have any cars without front end damage...but you can always keep checking if you're not in a hurry. They might go for cheap here (but I've never inquired about anything...so unsure about the prices).

two things i've done in the past. if its a metal emblem, like a custom made badge (gift shops can do it relatively cheap) you can weld or braze a bolt or two on the back and then basically install it through the grill with a plate behind it or just washers and a bolt.

or if plastic you can use any type of 2 part epoxy to mount the bolts and do the same setup.


just some options for a clean install.

 

Looks good in that pic too!

 

you can get the emblem here for not a bad price:

Thanks a lot guys.

Rocket: You can only see the zip ties if you go really close up. They are black so it blends in with the grille. Good luck with the DIY

I want to use the emblem that comes on the trunk, so I think epoxy will be best. When I take my own pics ill put them up. Thanks again guys for the replys.
