Question Installing bladerunner grill emblem

Could any of you that have installed the bladerunner grill emblem offer any ideas for attaching the emblem to the billet grill? There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of surface area to apply double sided tape to.
Thanks!

rus, did you purchase yours from Ford? I did and it's just plastic with tabs sticking out the back to snap into the Taurus grill. I'm sure I will come up with something, just looking for a shortcut from someone that has experienced the same thing. Thanks!

jimrvz, if you don't mind...how much did you pay for the Taurus bladerunner. I was thinking about getting one. Also if you figure out a way to mount it please let me know!! Thanks.

Clean98XL, The part # was YF1Z8213AA and was $13.32 + tax. I thought that was quite inexpensive. I had seen someone selling them on here for $29.95 plus shipping. Maybe some are made better than others and have studs already in the back? Mine was from Ford dealership.

There are some holes in the back of mine in the middle section, but it will need something out towards the end because it doesn't have the same exact contour as the grill.

I recently got some off of eBay, have two bolts comming out of the center section. The bolts don't look like they came originally that way - glue not cleanly done - but it works! Paid more than the $14, but the bolts would be worth it.

Clean98XL, just mounted my bladerunner using 2 inch 8-32 screws and nyloc nuts. I used JB Weld to mount the screw to the back of the bladerunner. I used quite a bit of JB Weld to secure to back about 4 inches from each end, then when dry just attached with nuts. Looks great and if your familiar with JB Weld, you'll know it's strong as nails!

Well I don't have pics of the process if that's what you were thinking. (I didn't think of that) I don't have a digital camera or scanner and I wouldn't know how to post them here either. My son has a digital camera though, and I could take one next weekend and e-mail to you if you cared to provide me with your e-mail address.
