Gialla grill replica question?

I am thinking of getting the gialla replica gril fron Ionic. I've searched hi and low for someone showing how they installed there Mt. Fuji emblem to the mesh. Does anyone have any input on doing this possibly a D.I.Y? What did you guys use to hold the emblem down?

dont know if theres a diy, some glue and thin wire should do the trick though.

Oh and you might want to smooth out the backside remove any plastic thats pointy.

Just line the back of your emblem with it and push it on the mesh then apply a little extra to the back of the mesh to seal the deal...
it is very strong and durable so I wouldn't worry about it falling off or anything like that.
Just be clean and precise and it will look dope bro. No need for wire or anything like that.

Just make sure it sets dry and it will be good

+1. 3M heavy duty double sided tape might not seem like much but it will get the job done and it will hold up through rain and car washes. Heck, my roof and trunk spoilers are held on soley by 3M heavy duty double sided tape from Home Depot.
