Garson Badge Placement???

I need some input fellas. I just got my Garson curtains and hood badge. Now, I was originally planning on putting the hood badge on the grill (molding it on there) but then I saw how it looks on the hood. Which do you guys looks better? I keep going back and forth between the two.

*EDIT: Grill will be painted chrome.

If the car was bigger I would say hood, but since it is a sports sedan I would do the grill.

Yeah the looks like if anything it would go on the trunk b/c it seems really small.
Edit: leave it off or on the trunk. IMHO looks out of place in both areas.

Hmmm....I'm still confused. Here's what I'm gonna do though, replace the black grill with a chrome one. Change anything?

And as far as I know, this is the only size that Garson makes the hood badge...unless I'm mistaken? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

That's the only size for hood ornament. The best thing u can do is to put the badge where you are thinking of placing it and figure out that way where it's gonna look the best and still serve it's purpose. Your gonna get alot of back and forth ideas, but @ the end of the day....."You have to make the decision"

I was originally thinking the hood, then i figured i'd be different to have it on the grill but I think after the chrome grill it's going to blend too much so I think I'm gonna end up doing it on the hood. Thanks for all the input.

hood and call it a day. Grill will just be way more work then you would want just for a little Garson emblem.

Yeah, that's the only size it comes in. Might relocate it to the rear or somewhere else, might get the hood ornament when I get the grill painted chrome.

I like how it looks on the hood. I would just keep it there. I like the detail idea of in-setting it.

Already have it on the hood, but I have my OEM grill so it looks out of place. Gotta redo my grill, but I'm thinking about replacing it with this:
