Where should I mount my JCW emblem?

I recently got a JCW emblem (the 2 post one) and since I dont have teh "honeycomb" grille I was wondering where I should mount it?

Any suggestions or photos of places they have been installed? I dont want to cut the posts off, and I already have a "sticker" mount one that goes on the back.

I would mount it on the wall of your bathroom, right above the crapper.

Actually, no clue really.

IT's not hostility...

you've become a memeber of "Team Craptastic"! Search on it, and you will be enlightened..... I guess until you read all the posts, it seems like people peeing on your leg, but it's not meant to be..... Some of the posts really had me laughing hard! And you;ll see signatures, with "member of Team Craptastic" as well.

Enjoy your car, and your mods, and your badge, where ever it may end up!

Matt

I can't believe that this person's user ID is "scatpack". It's just too freakin' funny.

Team Craptastic cracks me up.

Oh, that is sweet. But I would replace the Santa hat with a Kangol, and surround the whole thing with some evocative smell lines.

I have a downloaded version of the JCW install manual that includes diagrams of the stock tag locations. I will try and dig it up or find the link.
Back in a minute...

Leave it off. Those in the know can tell from the pipes. Those not in the know won't know what JCW is anyway. Most of the world will think you're proudly proclaiming your J.C.Whitney accessories.

The emblem actually mounts to the air dam grille which is honeycombed on both the standard and Aero versions of the dam. The exact location is specified on the instruction sheet that comes in the emblem box. If you don't have the sheet, send me a PM with your fax number and I'll fax it over to you.

Ignore the static from some of the others on this thread. One can only imagine what their real issues are.

I got a suggestion where you can mount it, but I don't think chows4us will like it, and he certainly won't provide any pictures.

(I'm sorry, this was just too tempting)
