Default Type R Grill

I Recently Purchased and intalled my Type R Grill. I want to paint that little lip of the grill to match the car but my question is, what can i use to put the Stock Honda Badge on the Type R grill? Sorry if this is a stupid question... Adhesive Tape? I searched and all i found was info on RED HONDA BADGES on our cars...

can anyone help me out? Going For What OKARL did with his.Looks So Nice To Me.

If you're going for the same look, just put masking tape on everything but the lip. (mesh, emblem, top, etc)

Paint the lip, remove the tape, install the grill, reinstall the bumper.

Oops, sorry.

I used double-sided servo tape to hold the emblem on my RS grill. (the tabs on the emblem were gone)

It's been on there for at least two years without any issues. You can find it at any hobby shop.

you can always go with gorilla glue too. but that's if you plan on never getting the emblem off again.

I don't recommend using gorilla glue for this. It foams-up and expands while curing, making a mess that will be very difficult to remove, and it's tan colored.

It'd be much easier to use servo tape. It's easier to apply, requires no cure time or cleanup, and is difficult to see when applied properly.

They've got a newer concoction that might be what you're looking for though.... try it out on something first before using it on your grill just to be sure. its the one that isnt brown. and yes..... its strong as hell.
