Default Hood Emblem?

I recently got badges for my 1997 accord and I got the rear emblem on easily by have an after market grill that won't hold the badge. I'd like to get it on the hood, I've seen some good looking accords with their badges on the hood. Do I have to drill 2 holes in the hood or is there another way?

here's an example photo

Just swap to a 94/95 hood. They have the emblem attached already......for the 96/97, they moved the emblem to the grill. It is a direct fit as long as it is not the V6 model.


94/95




96/97






Myself, I prefer having no emblem at all.....

Double sided tape. I actually ordered an emblem and it came in today. It had the two pins or whatever for the holes but I just cut them off and used the tape.

I second the tape, or you could just glue it on. Not sure if super glue will hold well over time on a car though.

Im sure it will hold but will probably ruin the paint if you ever plan on taking it off.
