mount it with double sided 3M PRO or use an Epoxy.

Duct tape is not recommended

wow, three pics of three different soarer badges all in one thread can anybody point out the differences in these badges? what i mean is, what trim levels/years were these badges used? thats something i dont think has ever been discussed fully in these forums (and i searched for it too). is the black griffin (someone post a pic please!) the one thats used on the current soarer/sc430 in japan?

the 1st pic is on the older model soarers the one before ours i guess 90 and down in japan becuase i think are model came out in 91 over there. the 2nd pic is the the one off the sc430 2000 and up and the 3rd pic is off our model sc's it only comes in that burgundy color but there's 3 different linings of it i think the one mr johnttan gots is the regular one and i have have one that looks just like his except where his lining is all black mine is all chrome its called super silver. then there's one more called super white which i have never seen but im almost positive looks exactly the same except with white lining.

How much $$ can you usually find one of those emblems for?

Not only would I like to know how much they go for, but where can you get them? I have one that I bought off Ebay for $35, and it is in perfect shape. However, I always enjoy options. Or was that "rice"? I am always getting those two mixed up. Sorry .... just had to rag on the guy who posted that changing you dash lights was rice. What an unexpectedly fun thread this is.

check out this link for a soarer badge and grill on ebay. this must be from a first gen soarer i take it? the emblem looks identical to the one that MrJohnTan said was for the second gen soarers, maybe we have it backwards?
