Small Red SS for Heritage Grille - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I just installed my heritage grille and it looks great, but I wanted to find a way to reuse the stock emblem as I think it would look good with no bowtie and an SS in the lower left corner. It looks like the stock one is a little too small to be mounted. Does anybody know if there are any aftermarket emblems for this? I can only find the ones for the center of the grille.

Here's a pic of what I mocked up, but couldn't some up with a way to mount it.

I used a piece of aluminum angle iron. I painted it flat black and used 3m emblem tape to stick the ss to it and it to the grill.

bump it up a notch, once the bumper is on the emblem just looks too low cause your looking down at it.
i reused my stock ss as well, i filed the plastic ss backing to the width of the heritage "fins".

I got mine from here http://www.cleancutcreations.com/ it has 3m tape on it works great

The sparks one is for the center.

I think that most people mount the stock SS back on somehow. You can use the 3m tape to stick it to the front of the fins. Mine was done for me when I first got my grill. You can cut the stock backing bracket to fit between the heritage grill fins, then you can epoxy or tape that in place.

Whatever you choose make sure you scotch tape it in place first to check how it looks. The grill has a downturned angle and if you mount it the wrong way it may look more downturned. If you have to mount it infront of one fin make it the lower of the two

Thanks for the idea guys! I will try to file down the stock mounting bracket and use that. If it doesn't work then I'll look into those emblems.

You're saying move it up one block on the grid? Thanks for the tip.

I Used a small piece of plastic and fitted it to the grill and then painted it black then mounted that to the Heritage Grill and then Mounted the SS Emblem to that, Looks great and you cant see the plastic peice.
