lol ive said this before, my car came with the billet grille when i bought it, so im just working with that, ive looked for OEM stock grille for 05 but couldnt find it, if anyone is selling theirs for good price let me know. but for now im stuck with this, so all im asking is which would be the toughest glue to withstand high temps. not if you like my grille or not. thank you

one way to get the emblem on it is to modify your stock front emblem, like i did here:

takes a bit of time, but the modified front emblem looks better/different than the flat rear emblem some people slam on the grille.

Don’t let the billet ftl posts discourage you... I ran with a billet grille for quite a while and didn’t give a crap what other people thought. I have done several things to the car that are different from the norm and still don’t give a **** what people think - especially when I see the boring bs they call cool.

Do what you like and what you can - if it's cool for you its cool period.

As for the emblem question, I would suggest using a sedan rear emblem (since it has pins) and find a way to use those to secure something from the back of the grille... I never bothered to do it, but did think about it (I was too busy making the car fast to kick the @ss of the tards that make stupid comments about something like a grille.)
Codeflux’ recommendation above looks good – that would be another place to start.

Good luck, hopefully it will be to your liking.

While we are on the subject of grills...

Is there a difference in the finish of the 03-04 grills vs the 05-06 grills??

The 03-04 grills i see all look chrome, meanwhile my '06's grill has a "black chrome" look to it. Do the 05-06's have a darker finish?

Yes the 03-04's are chrome and the 05-06 are smoked chrome (light black chrome)

also, the 05-06 have slight bumps atop each horizontal bar... 03-04 are flat.
