Use the rings from the trunk. The hole in the grill will line up with the rings.

Default But they don't stick well because the grill is curved so the surface area for the sticky part is

too small, I tried this and it came off every time I closed the trunk.

Default You mean the hood, right? This is what I did...

I bought the double sided tape they use to stick body panels onto cars (aka Ricer Tape) from PepBoys. I cut small strips and stuck them onto the intersections of the rings and on the two outer ends.

Then just stick that onto the grill making sure to line it up right. You can then re-enforce the contact areas w/ epoxy. Sticks better than epoxy alone (epoxy is temp. sensitive. It will crack and fall off in extreme cold, as I found out).

So far, stuck on good.
