You need to replace the grill where the emblem was mounted with a nice matching grill to the mesh below. Simple, and it will look nice. Currently, it looks like it just fell off.

I saw it as:

I did too. Not in a "that looks kinda like an autobot symbol" kind of way, but in a "huh, why is there an autobot symbol on that cts?" kind of way.

In case it was missed, the cheap grill I noted earlier in the thread will make it look like this :

Imho that's really nice and clean.

The bonus is that you can take the opportunity to restore the badge to the OEM grill, and polish it up back to new-looking if it has any flaws, and stow it away.

When it comes time to sell, restore the car to all original parts, and sell the aftermarket stuff on forums/ebay/CL/whatever.

I find that 99% of the time it's best to sell a car with all original stuff. I know personally I don't like buying modded cars. When a buddy was looking for a 240 (he knows them pretty well) he kept looking at ads that said 'drift car', 'X, Y, and Z mods', "S13, S14", etc. All of those are dead giveaways that the owner is probably some 20-something that beat the pure piss out of the car. I finally found one that was owned by a cool older guy, he had his original window stickers, car was all original with 58k miles, he wanted about $2k more than average price (most of the cars with the avg price had 3x the miles, and beat to crap), but it was well worth it.

/silly OT mode over

Cliffs : I recommend getting the cheap aftermarket grill to achieve desired result, and keeping the stock stuff to reassemble when selling.

I vote putting in that aftermarket grill or painting the emblem black

The holes are absolutely noticeable and it looks like someone stole your emblem to use as a necklace.

That grille doesn't fit his front bumper cover.

Interesting.

Would be cheaper to just paint the original though. Good thing just removing it is fully reversible.

This pictures thread has a number of vehicles with no badge (replaced grill).

Looks good to me as long as you don't mind the CF. You can always paint it though.

Um, it looks like your badge fell off :|

I saw a guy with a Charger who had replaced the chevy symbols with those.

... What?
