The lower piece in the picture goes on top of the top piece in the picture. This is the trim piece that I was refering to. You can see all the screw holes and slots for the tabs where the trim piece connects to in the top piece. I think it is a total of 9 screws. I was told that the '96 grill is one piece by somebody, but the grill in this picture is off of my car and my car is a '96. It could also have to do with your car being a different trim level: LX or EX If i remember right, i believe those models have a chrome front grill. Not sure if this DIY works with that grill. Somebody correct me if i'm wrong. I hope that helped you out.

Epoxy one or two zip ties to the back of the emblem and you can sinch it up to the grill just right. That way if you decide to take it off...you won't be able to tell that it was even there at all.
