Night-Time Teaser

Thought I'd share with the community of what's going on. I quit my job so that means no income... that means no mods for the TL. Or atleast... not a lot of mods. So I've decided to chop up my grill. My friend and I chopped it up... my buddy filled the spots with bondo and painted it. He did a shit-ass job in my opinion.
So here I am now, fixing up the half-assed job he helped me with.



What's left is to sand the bondo down... re-apply some bondo to fill in the gaps. Primer and paint it flat-black. I have some photos of the previous grill [before fixing it] during a photoshoot with my friend.
Now here's a question.... the emblam I have [it has a gunmetal background with the A symbol] seems a bit plain since it's flat with the mesh.
Should I....
a) Leave it flat... so that at certain angles it's just a black grill
or
b) Make something for the emblam to sit on so that it sticks out like the stock emblam.

Why do you need to bondo that area anyways? Seems like a messy job just to put chicken wire on the grille.

The mesh is actually held in place behind the bumper. The bondo is all over the place because my idiot friend thought it'd be cool to cut holes into the grill then put metal-zip-ties through it to attach the mesh to. So I put bondo on the rest of the grill to cover up his dumb idea. It looked like this before.

The circle is the messy spot of bondo that filled the gap after cutting the grill. The arrows are where 2 of 4 zipties are visible.




side note: at the moment grill is pending to enigmaos
