Thanks for the diy, also,there is a video of removal of the front clip on Youtube. I think
they were installing a T-rex grille.

Most parts stores should carry it, probably hardware stores also.
It is called 3M doublesided tape and comes in black or gray and a couple different widths. Most all of the emblems on vehicles are attached with this stuff. The only downside of the SS to the grille is I was only able to attach it accross the bottom section of the SS to one bar of the grille. If it comes loose I will do something different. The good news is if by chance it falls off and I dont know it they are very cheap from GM to replace. around $15 I believe.

Get some JB weld and glue a couple flat head screws to the back that are long enough to extend through the grill, when you line up your emblem just put a couple washers on the backside along with some self locking nuts and you got it made.. works for the bowties too... I did that on my el Camino when I put a 350 emblem in the grill...

Be sure and use a little coarse sand paper to rough up the area on the back of the emblem so the JB Weld has a place for a good grip..

Painted in your case would look fantastic. On a black car...nope.

Great write up and excellent mod!

Thanks! Yeah, we are going to get it painted.

Angrybird 12 · 02-09-2010, 10:12 AM

Painted body color is the only way to go.. plus in my opinion it just does not look right without some kind of emblem in the grill. maybe a 69 style bowtie, RS or SS emblem would look good depending on which model you have.

I'm thinking painting mine red with a black bowtie with a red outline

I would be afraid to take the nose off like that.

+1!

MR. FBDY · 02-09-2010, 11:46 AM

Hey, how wide (deep) are the fins on the heritage grille going form front to back? I am wondering because I need to know how long studs have to be so I can install an SS emblem in the center.

Is the Heritage the same color as the bottom grill? Looks real close. I ask cause I have a black car and dont really want to paint the Heritage.
