[Chrysler300] Glue for medallions? reply

[John Hertog <crossram@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting that Charlie used the same approach I did...  I also made
concave plates, only difference is that mine have one stud...   and glued
the medallion to the plate, and drilled a hole in the bezel and bolted the
assembly to it.. it's removable, that way...

For Bob Merritt's excellent grille medallion installation instructions, go

300'ly and see you at Carlisle soon!
