Default Grille Plinth Delete

Hey all, I was hoping to get rid of the chrome plinth on my '07, I've head it can just be pried off, but after that how does one affix the Growler? does the existing badge fit into the grille? Do I need some sort of bezel?

I just had the front grille on my '09 off. If you're referring to the logo in the middle of the grille, it's held on by two speed nuts. I don't think you want to pry it off.
After you get it removed, there is an obvious mounting location for it that looks different from the rest of the grille.
If you want to remove the chrome surround from the Growler, I'm sure it could be done but it looks to be all one piece.

Think the ‘Taurus wings’ were only on the XK.
Suspect the XKR grill would fit.
I wouldn’t call it ‘gross’. I find it to be a unique attribute of my car, along with the fishin’ pole out back.

Well it's a separate piece from the grill, I do know that much. some people have pried them off and had fine looking grills I'm just wondering how the badge is affixed after that.

Are you interested in selling The black growler you removed?
