Moving badges to grill

[Breezybro]

Hi, I am very interested in moving my RS badge to my front grill, and I understand people have done this with other badges and the Turbo badge, and I was wondering how to go about attaching them to my honeycomb grill. Thanks for any help!

I accomplished this on my last car by heating up the badge quite hot before I removed it from the back of the car, and then stuck it on the front grill using the same glue. It stayed planted there for 6 years and never came off.

I attempted to do this with my RS badge as well, and the glue did not come off easily and I wasn't able to transfer. That being said, because the badge itself is slightly curved, I test fitted it to the front grill, and the options aren't great if you want to reglue it. I think I will end up reglueing and then using a thin black zip tie around the middle of the r to s bridge on the badge to attach to the grill.

Best of luck!

I would mount it to the side where the front license plate mounts. On that solid bar..It will be difficult to mount that small badge to the honeycomb part.

Thanks for the idea! If you end up attaching it, post a pic

:blankface::blankface:is it glued on? or like screwed on? im talking more about the one on the hatch/trunk... I wonder if u have to pop the plastic off and go up in there n loosen something to get it off.. but then u might have two or more little holes or something?

 

[lattyd]

Its screw on, 2 screws with like a back plate

 

[RoXXXanne13]

So I reattached it today. Used a plastic bonding glue. Seems tight right now, not sure how it will hold up under weather, but we'll see.

I like that. I'm thinking I'll order one from eBay and leave the original one on the back.

I didn't like the ones on eBay because they didn't have the same sharp edged look of the factory RS. Plus I like my debaged trunk

 

[Insanika]

I like my badges for now. Usually I'd debadge right away but the Sonic is so different I'll keep it on for a while.

I didn't notice the eBay ones being weird. Maybe I'll get them from the dealer instead.

Yeah, it is a little different - im going to try it and see if it bothers me - i like the idea of the screws versus gluing it to my grill

I'll save you some time.
Original:

eBay Badge:

You can see the eBay logo is more rounded and taller. I just don't like it as much as the factory RS.

Eww! Yeah I haven't gotten a chance to look close at them. It has a weird tail on the R too. Good call.

I got a hold of some turbo badges. And I want to put one on the front grill. But glue well not work. Not enough surface area.
Any ideas how to anchor the badge to the front grill??

I will race any mini van on the streets....

Here is the Aveo/Sonic RS badge on ebay no weird tail flip on the R.

Still not correct.

The R and S are connected.
